Community Sewing Lab - Free Open Studio
- Oct 16, 2026 01:30 pm

Every third Friday of the month we offer our Community Sewing Lab- for FREE! Bring your current project and join fellow makers for an open, collaborative sewing session. This is a space for creativity, connection, and shared learning—not structured teaching. All skill levels are welcome, from beginners to experienced sewists. We encourage cross-pollination of all ages and skill levels! Our staff coach will be available for light support and troubleshooting, but the session is designed as a self-directed, social sewing forum rather than individual instruction. Studio equipment (cutting tables, irons, design wall, etc.) will be available for use. Bring your own machine and sewing tools and notions. Free to attend; registration required to reserve your seat, space limited.

Even if you don't plan to incorporate hand quilting into your regular sewing practice it will open your eyes to see and feel the process that was used by our ancestors to make quilts. Recently, this technique (a rocking stitch in a flat frame) has been added to the Red List of Endangered Crafts by the Heritage Crafts Association. As this skill continues to drop out of circulation you will be doing a small part of keeping this skill alive just by having some knowledge of the history and process. While the thought of hand quilting is daunting to some, once the simple technique is mastered, it's quite relaxing, and when performed properly, is not taxing for most hands. In the class you will learn how the right tools (fabric, batting, needles, thread, thimbles and quilting hoops/frames) all contribute to small even stitches.
