Have you ever just wanted to sew for hours on end without interruptions to cook, clean, tend to children or answer the phone?? If so, you need to join us as we embark on the first ever sew-in at the beautiful Unity Village Hotel and Conference Center and you will be free to relax and just sew to your hearts content. Finish projects you started, or begin new ones. Never made those jeans from Jennifer Stern’s class? Get with your fellow sewists and finish those! Are you feeling uncomfortable with no agenda? We can help pair you up with others feeling the same way. Some people will be working on items similar so you can have a mini class with your friends. We plan to have some break -out sessions in which you will learn a new technique.
This event will begin on Friday morning at 10 AM and end at 5 PM on Sunday. Do you work on Friday? No problem come after work and sew all night!!
Most attendees will stay at the hotel. I would recommend becoming a Choice Member on Choicehotels.com and then booking your room through Choice. There are no blocked rooms as booking yourself is less expensive. You can always cancel your room if you do not pre-pay.
Feel free to call or email me with any questions: karin.bernina@gmail.com or 816-810-9744.
Cost: $100.00 for the 3 days. Cost includes lunch on Friday and Saturday.
