Program:

Robyn Spady spoke on Closures and noted that making a buttonhole can be daunting since it often means putting a hole in a garment or fashion accessory.  In this session, participants explored different techniques that may be used to secure a garment or fashion accessory.  The group learned that from frogs and hand-wrapped hooks and eyes to knotting and clasps, designing and making your own closures can be fun and exciting.
