  • Meet our secretary, Logan!
  • Meet Janet, our president!
  • We’re so excited to announce that we are about to have a home! We’ll be located on HWY 99 a bit north of 164th, and we’ll have details on how to become a founding member soon!
  • Join Spark Creatives at the Mariner Library for a drop-in style meeting to give you the chance to try using a serger!

Some sewing experience is recommended, and this is meant to be a “test drive” sort of get together instead of a skill lesson.
The machine we’ll have on-site is a Brother 1034D, which is a simple and reliable example of this kind of sewing machine.
A serger is a machine often used for knit material and quick + easy finished seams. If you look at the inside of a tee shirt, the stitches holding the side seam together (under your arm and down your side) were probably done on a commercial serger!

  • We aren't just about making with wood and resin: Baking is Making! Kam made this bread using whole grain flour boosted with protein powder as a great way to start his day.
