Program Room ALearn how to use a sewing machine to make reusable period pads to promote sustainable living and end period poverty.
Sewing was once thought to be an essential skill but nowadays most youths do not know how to sew! In order to promote sustainable living & end period poverty, Help a Girl Out is putting sewing back on the table. Inaccessible menstrual care is a reality that affects many youths in Canada and beyond. Also, disposable menstrual products contribute a significant amount of non-degradable plastic to landfills each year.
RSVP for our introductory sewing class where participants will learn how to use a sewing machine to learn a skill, build community and solve a prominent social issue.
For ages 14 and up. Please complete the makerspace waiver prior to attending the workshop.
