Learn to Sew in Hopkinton

The Hopkinton Center for the Arts continues to bring sewing to Hopkinton by bringing back its Learn to Sew program with Hopkinton resident and instructor Heather Heverling.

Two class options are available for students ages 8 to 13. There is a Tuesday 'Learn to Sew' class from 3:00-4:00 p.m. This class introduces students to basic sewing skills, including how to use a sewing machine. Projects may include a drawstring bag, ribbon key chains, and pajama shorts. On Thursday's 'More Sewing Fun' runs from 3:00-4:30 p.m. This class is for students who have completed the first 'Learn to Sew' class.

For adults, Heverling teaches a beginner 'Learn to Sew' class on Wednesday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m. This session begins Sept. 26.

Sewing machines are provided for all classes. Every class runs for two sessions.

Heather Heverling has been an avid sewer and quilter for over forty years. A Hopkinton resident, she raised two grown children and now has more time to devote to her favorite hobby. She is also a certified floral designer, who had her own home-based floral business. Heverling was a Girl Scout leader for six years, and more recently she mentored a Framingham High School student through the Mazie Mentoring Program, which is now part of Boys and Girls Clubs of America.
