First Saturday Sewing

At Sew Social, individuals of all ages and skill levels can come together to sew, laugh, chat, and try new things. We love what we do, and we don't take ourselves too seriously. 

During our events, attendees are welcome to bring their own sewing machine and a project they're working on, or sort through our bin of "instant gratification sewing tutorials" for beginner-level projects. Scrap fabric, a couple of extra sewing machines, and treats/drinks are typically also onsite. Our primary location for Sew Social events is Derita Design, a beautiful makerspace that offers its own mix of classes and workshops!
