Fabric Swap & Sewing Circle

We’re adding a sewing circle to our usual fabric swap! A time to be SEWcial (bad puns included) with old & new sewing friends and maybe get some hand sewing/making projects done too.
Bring fabric to swap starting at 1 pm—the swap itself begins at 1:30 pm. Stay and hang out until 2:30/3!

We’re partnering once again with @creative_reuse to collect the extras at the end! Please no scraps or me-mades.
