What is Sew-N-Sew?

​

Sew-N-Sew is a non-profit, charitable organization with the primary purpose of promoting activities around Fiber Arts to all who are interested.

 

What activities are available?

​

We are planning multiple activities such as: Sew-N-Sew Groups, LEOs (Learning Enhancement Opportunities), Studios and Open Houses for Charity.

​

We may not have all activities organized when we first open but keep checking our website for our Activities Calendar.

​

What is meant by the term "Sew-N-Sew Group"?

 

A “Sew-N-Sew Group" is a dedicated time where people with similar interests work on their own individual projects. There is no instructor. A group meets once a month (12 meetings/year), always the same day of the month, (i.e. the second Tuesday or the Third Sunday) and runs for the entire year, from September through August. Some groups will meet for a full day (10:00 am to 4:00 pm), some will meet for a partial day (9:00 am to 1:00 pm or 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm), some will meet evenings (6:00 pm to 10:00 pm).

​

Are some Sew-N-Sew Groups devoted exclusively to some particular type of activity?

 

Definitely! We have specialized groups: machine embroidery, hand appliqué, garment sewing, knitting, quilting, fiber arts and more.

 

Who can join a Sew-N-Sew Group?

 

Only Full and Associate Members can register to reserve their place in a Sew-N-Sew group. A LEO pass holder can occasionally drop in if - and only if - there is space available.

​

What do I need to bring with me to a Sew-N-Sew Group?

​

Everything that you need for the project/s that you wish to work on - for example, your material, sewing supplies, and your sewing machine.

​

What is LEO? 

 

It is an acronym for Learning Enhancement Opportunity. A LEO is an activity with an instructor.

​

How often do LEOs meet?

 

They can be one or multiple sessions each session lasting 2 to 6 hours. A LEO may also be referred to as a Workshop (usually one full day session) or a Studio (with private or semi- private instruction).

​

What type of LEOs will be available?

​

• Hand or machine sewing • Garment construction
