Sew Good
Join our Sew Good Team as we create pillowcases to be used as Bundles of Cheer for the 2026 SPUR Holiday Cheer Drive. For this shift you will be cutting and measuring fabric from donated bolts. We will provide the rotary cutters, rulers and rotary mats. Please note: This shift begins 30 minutes before regular shifts so we can get a jump on preparing kits. Our amazing Seamstress, Brenda, will be on hand during this time to assist you and answer any questions you may have.
