Looking for take-home maker projects that appeal to kids and teens? Join us
for a day of fashion hacking, our term for turning secondhand clothes into
new creations. See what you can make from a t-shirt, a men’s button-down,
or even pieces from a discarded leather or suede jacket! Come play for the
day in Frankenmuth’s beautiful and high-energy Wickson District Library –
supplies are provided.



*LEARNING THROUGH DOING, ALPENA*
