Garment Sewing Group

Garment Sewing Group is a monthly no-sew meeting featuring garments, pattern modification and review, and the latest news in the sewing world. You will be provided with tips, techniques and new ideas that are sure to inspire you. Current fashion, chic wear, proper fit, and children’s wear are some of the topics we will explore. Whether you are an experienced sewist (and you’ve been quilting while waiting for something like this:) or just beginning – this group is for you! Bring Show and Tell for a chance to win a door prize.

We have 3 meetings per month in 3 different locations-please check “Garment Sewing Group” in the main menu for other dates and locations-many people attend multiple meetings (just pay once 🙂
