Would you like to learn to: Sew from a pattern? Customize a thrift-store find? Replace a busted zipper? You can do all this and more in a lively, well-stocked compound on St. Louis' near-south side. Welcome to City Sewing Room!         Creative Director Rita Hunt shares the what-why-how of this non-profit community sewing center, where adults and kids can take classes and create in professional-grade studios, and you can score great deals on fabric, notions and sewing machines donated to their Makers' Mart. A new Quilting Studio features a state-of-the-art longarm quilting machine and skilled quilter volunteers ready to help you craft your vision in fabric.           Many hands give an ancient art a DIY revival at City Sewing Room and sister locations, like Sew Hope in Florissant, MO.
