Join our friendly and inspiring sewing group, where creativity and community come together! Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced stitcher, this is the perfect space to bring your sewing projects to life.

Want to make a garment from scratch? Finish that quilt? Upcycle some old clothing? Create a beautiful patchwork cushion, a stylish bag, or adorable baby gifts? Whatever your project, you’ll have the space, support, and guidance to make it happen.

Each week, you’ll learn new skills—from machine stitching to reading and interpretating a pattern to tacking to patchwork—helping you build confidence and expand your sewing know-how. With a welcoming atmosphere and like-minded people, you’ll be inspired to stitch, create, and have fun.
