Want to learn how to make fun mittens out of sweaters?  Join us as Karen Sullivan from Sully's Mitten Company guides you through this 2.5 hour class (10:00 am-12:30) on making mittens!  The rest of the day will be a sew day to finish your mittens or work on whatever you want!  

This sew along class is guaranteed to be festive and fun!  Karen will walk you through the easy-to-follow instructions and you will leave with a pair of eco-friendly, fleece lined, wool mittens that you can give as a gift or keep for yourself.  And because we know you will become addicted, you will go home with a sewing pattern, so you can make mittens to your hearts content!

Mittens make great gifts- for teachers, dog walkers, snow shovelers, sports spectators, and those with Raynauds and other circulatory issues.

• Inspiration- check out Karen’s Instagram account @sullysmittenco
