Special Interest Group:
Sew Wearable Page
This SIG is led by Terry Petti. For more information or to be added to the Sew Wearable's member email list please contact her, [email protected]
Meetings are held on Zoom, on the 3rd Thursday of every month, 1-3:30pm The Zoom join link and program information is sent to all members as a Blast Out. Join our email list to receive program information.
This is a self-motivated group, devoted to garment sewing, no matter what your sewing level is. We inspire each other by sharing our garments, techniques, patterns, finished projects and general sewing talk.
Meetings often include videos to introduce and reinforce sewing skills, with encouragement to make a technique workbook. The meetings are sometimes planned ahead, with a general topic or technique to work on for the month, but it can also be a surprise. You can always expect wonderful sewing camaraderie and encouragement and support.
