WSU Extension to Offer Class on Reusing Old Textiles
Want to reuse old textiles instead of throwing them out?
Washington State University Extension is offering a “Repair What You Wear” class 6-8 p.m. Thursday at Centralia Community Church of God, 3320 Borst Ave., Centralia.
The class will teach people how to repurpose an old towel into two hanging kitchen towels with the addition of fabric scraps.
Participants can also use donated fabric to make a microwaveable cozie, so they won’t have to search for a hot pad when the microwave beeps.
Participants are asked to bring the towels they want to use and sewing scissors, if they have them. Sewing machines, fabric and other items will be provided.
To register for the class, call 370-740-1452 or send an email to swu@lewiscountywa.gov.
