Open Studio is a time for you to come in and make some headway on your sewing projects (in relative peace and quiet, in the company of other stitchers) and get help and advice on tricky steps. 

I will be available to help up to four students at a time during these sessions, and access to the sewing machines and tools is included.  You may bring in any sewing project you like, or even multiple projects, and you may come in for 1, 2, or 3 hours at a time.  Take advantage of the Studio’s big cutting tables, easily accessible machines and supplies, and my sewing and pattern-reading skillz.  Sometimes you just need to get away from the distractions of home to get things done!

Alternating Sundays 1:00-4:00 pm and Wednesdays 6:00-9:00 pm

Summer 2009 Open Studio dates: July 1, 5, 15, 19, 29; August 2

I have also started a new Sewing Circle that will meet once a month at the Studio!

Stitchers of all levels (including beginners) are welcome to attend.  This group is sponsored by www.burdastyle.com, which is an amazingly stylish and useful open-source sewing website.  Here is what they have to say about the aims of the group:

“A BurdaStyle Sewing Club is a group that meets on a regular basis where people can drop by and ask questions, practice their craft and be creative together.”

The focus of this sewing circle is mainly on fashion sewing, but quilters and stitchers with other areas of interest are welcome as well.  It’s a chance to get together with some like-minded diy folks, make new friends, and get advice on sewing dilemmas. We may also do some stitch-alongs or tutorials if members would like to!

Our first meeting is on this coming Sunday, June 28^th, at 6:00 pm.

Attend a Burdastyle Sewing Circle meeting at Craft & Sew Studio during June, July, or August and receive a 20% discount on one class.

I hope to see you all at the Studio soon.  I can’t wait to see what you’re sewing this summer!
