Every Friday in July, 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

Join us on Fridays for a relaxed sew day in our happy place. Bring whatever’s on your sewing table — something that needs finishing or a project you’ve been saving for later. Come for the whole time or just drop in when it works for you.

This isn’t a class — just open sewing time. Gather up your sewing friends and make it your own little retreat for the day.

You’ll have access to cutting tables, ironing stations, and a refrigerator for your convenience.
