SCRAP is thrilled to partner with our neighbor, Literary Arts, for a special collaborative event!

Join us for a HAND-SEWING SOCIAL at this wonderful nonprofit dedicated to engaging readers, supporting writers, and inspiring the next generation with great literature.

🎃 Happy October / Happy Halloweeeen! Join us in the Literary Arts bookstore & cafe to hand-sew decorative plush to celebrate spooky season! Sew felt pumpkins, ghosts, witch hats, candy, black cats, and more! ✨ Bring a friend! Make a friend! Grab a beverage, browse the books, and gather round to hand-sew some chilling charms!

Traceable templates & embroidery stitch print-outs provided. Self-guided & beginner-friendly. A SCRAP educator will be ready to assist newer sewists with hand-sewing basics!

Drop-ins welcome until the end of the event!

4-6pm | Ages 6+. Youth must be accompanied by an adult.

Materials & tools provided.

Location: The Literary Arts bookstore and cafe at 716 Southeast Grand Ave!

Reserve your seats before the event!

SCRAP prioritizes access to affordable art materials and expression, so we’re offering tiered ticket options:

Ambitious Artist ($7) - This ticket reflects the “true value” of the event.
Patron of the Arts ($10) - Your extra support contributes to continued ticket accessibility — thank you so much!
Curious Crafter ($5) - Our most accessible option for community members experiencing financial hardship. Also a great option for large families.

If we sell out, we will sell tickets at the door, but keep in mind that Literary Arts is a shared gathering space, so seating availability may vary. Swing by, check out the scene—and if space permits, grab yourself a ticket! However, do bear in mind that we won't be bringing cash to make change, so unless you have exact change or are willing to make a generous roundup (❤️), ticket sales will be mainly digital. Thanks!

Questions on the day of the event? Don’t hesitate to call the store (503-294-0769).

All event ticket sales are final and non-refundable. If you cannot make it to the event, feel free to send a friend in your place— we’d love to host them! Thank you for understanding and supporting our SCRAPpy little creative reuse non-profit!
