Sewing Events Classes and Meetups
Our “Learn to Sew” classes, led by trained staff, teach sewing basics through creative projects. You’ll master crucial techniques like seams, fabric piecing, zippers, and pattern following. We cover the other aspects of sewing as well such as setting up/starting projects, organization, and how to utilize different accessories to make your sewing a breeze! These classes are done on your own sewing machine (if you have one) to get you comfortable on it and to grow confidence to do your very own projects at home!
Meet Ups are held by local sewing clubs and groups. Many are open to guests. These are a great time to connect with local communities of sewists who share your passions.
Open Sew are times the sewing area is open to you to drop in and work on your projects. This is also a perfect time to come in and get tips and tricks on your sewing projects from our staff. Equipment such as cutting tables and ironing boards are available for your use!
Events are sponsored or facilitated by Vacuums R Us & Sewing Too and our partners such as Kimberbell and Janome. This is a fun opportunity to learn specific techniques.
