An Old Fashioned Sewing Bee- July 20
The Western Sonoma County Historical Society presents an Old Fashioned Sewing Bee at the Luther Burbank Cottage, where we will be reproducing the flag sewn by suffragettes. Each star on the flag represented a state as it ratified the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote. This flag will be used in the 2020 Apple Blossom Parade and hung in the West County Museum during the Suffrage Exhibit in 2020. We will provide fabric, but do bring your thimble, needles, and scissors. Drop in between 10a.m. and 3:30p.m. at 7777 Bodega Ave. in Sebastopol. RSVP’s are appreciated to wschs.historycorner@gmail.com
