SEWING CLASS: Fidget Mats

The St. Mary’s Community Public Library will be hosting a sewing class dedicated to fidget mats! Join us on September 26th at 4:00 pm to learn how to sew a fidget mat. Fidget mats help soothe the agitated fidgeting of people with dementia or autism. The mats help focus their attention, stimulate their senses, exercise hand muscles, and entertain users. Fidget mats are in many sizes and include pockets, zippers, buttons, strings of beads, bells, etc. They may also include a textured pocket with a soft toy or vinyl pocket for photos.

The library will provide all of the supplies and tools needed. Participants should bring their own portable sewing machine and machine manual to the session; if no portable sewing machine is available, please let the library know when registering for the class. Teens and adults welcome. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.
