Make Your Own Holiday Gifts at Think Outside the store

Come to Silver Spring's only wearable art studio to make your own holiday gifts! Get sewing tips as well as use the machines and materials to make your own ideas, or get suggestions and instruction from local clothing artist Sarah Gingold based on your skill level.  Some items that make good gifts that can be made with materials in the studio or with materials you provide are fabric flower accessories, scarves, clutches, tote bags and stuffed toys. Fabric wrapping bags are also a great alternative to wrapping paper that you can make yourself. There's lots of fabric options to choose from at the studio, and it's easy to learn how. The 2 hour session costs $25/person. Limit 4 people per session.

Additional sessions are available Saturday December 14 10am-12pm, 12-2pm or 2-4pm, Saturday December 21 10am-12pm, 12-2pm or 2-4pm, and Monday-Friday December 16-20, 4-6pm or 6-8pm
