Sew Social is led by Co Leaders Carolyn Robinette and Jan Yeh. For meeting and program information please contact them. 

 

Meetings are held on the 1st Tuesday of every month from 1 to 5 pm at the Venice Police Station Community Service Room. The address is 1575 East Venice Ave, Venice, FL.

Please Note: The room runs on the cold side year round; bring whatever keeps you warm-i.e. socks, neck wrap, long sleeves, sweater. The room is spacious and allows sewers to spread out. Bring a cutting mat, pressing board and iron for individual use.
