[Noisebridge-discuss] Sewing machine

[Alex Perez]

I would just like to learn to sew with a machine. I have some clothing  
I would love to be able to perform repairs to on my own, instead of  
just toss them. Perhaps someone who is proficient would be willing to  
teach a remedial clothing repair session? I know it's not as sexy as  
sewing electronics into stuff, but It'll be a good skill to have when  
the apocalypse comes ;-)

Cheers,
Alex Perez
