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. 

In the December meeting, We will be dyeing cloth (or clothing) in December's meeting. Jessica, our host at WAXON Studio, will lead us through how to dye and over-dye. Please bring an apron to wear, some cloth or a garment or 2 to over-dye (remember, polyester thread does not take dye), a large Ziploc bag to transport home your wet cloth, and a monetary donation of $5 -$10 to cover the cost of the dye & soda ash. (The more you dye, the more you donate). Due to space limits you MUST register to attend. We are limited to 10 people.  

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).
