Sewing Adventures with Lenni: Projects
This workshop is a series of four evenings. Participants can choose from any of the projects shown below. Many of the projects can be made reflective by applying reflective vinyl, so you can be seen in car headlights at night in the street when you’re walking or riding a bike, pushing a baby stroller or using a walker.
