My Project

I am the art teacher at a Secondary School located in NYC. Over the past few years,, my students have become very interested in Fiber Arts. We have done all of our sewing by hand, and students keep requesting a sewing machine so that we can start making clothing, costumes, soft sculptures, and dolls, Unfortunately, my budget does not allow for me to purchase a sewing machine so I'm asking for your generosity to fulfill my students' dream. Many thanks for considering my request. You are greatly appreciated.
