Would you like to learn a new skill while doing something good for the environment? The éco-quartier Côte-des-Neiges and the FabLab at the Bibliothèque Interculturelle are joining forces to give you the chance to learn how to use digital sewing machines!
The workshops will be held in room 601-2 in 6767 chemin de la Côte des Neiges on Thursdays. Take a look at our events calendar or below to find all of the details for each workshop.
During our workshops, we use mainly recycled fabrics. For this we’ll need your help! If you have linens (sheets, towels, dishcloths…) that are no longer of use to you, we’ll give them a second life. Just drop them off at our office!
