Garment Sewing Interest Group

Due to damages from Hurricane Helene at our studio, this interest group will be held at WAXON Studio at 726 Haywood Road. 

Our theme for November's meeting will be Patterns. We want everyone to share their favorite pattern companies and why. Perhaps even bring in a pattern to "show and tell" so we can all come away with new-to-us resources. Feel free to bring your hand sewing projects along as well!Oh Sew Asheville, an Apparel Sewing Interest Group meets monthly and is an opportunity for garment sewing enthusiast to share projects, tips, techniques, fitting help, and camaraderie. The Interest Group will have rotating activities such as actual sewing where individuals can decide whether to bring a machine or hand-sew their own project, “sew-a-longs” where everyone makes the same item with support from the group, field trips to local or regional fabric shops, sewing book exchanges, pattern exchanges, and fabric exchanges. Individual members or special subject matter experts may conduct mini tutorials for the group involving fitting, embellishing, pattern drafting, upcycling; alterations, dyeing fabric, etc.

You are welcome to bring a snack for yourself or to share. The Apparel Sewing Interest Group meets on the third Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. It is free for Local Cloth members (and $5 for non-members).

Hosted by Mary Euler and Mary Earle-Sigler
