Fabric, Food, & Friends: All Day Open Sew & Potluck

## 🧵 A Day of Sewing & Sharing

Whether you’re looking to master a complex pattern or just want to enjoy the rhythmic hum of sewing machines in good company, this event is for you! Join us for a day dedicated to creativity, community, and craft.

🪡 What’s on the Bobbin?

• Work on Your WIP: Bring your latest project and your machine. If you’re stuck on a tricky collar or a complex gusset, you’re in luck—there will be experienced makers on hand sharing Intermediate & Complex Sewing Tips to help you level up.
• Sew for a Cause: No project? No problem! We’re hosting a Charity Sew-a-Thon. Help us assemble:
  Lounge Pants for Reese’s LairWear.
  Ditty Bags for the Seamen’s Church Institute (seamenschurch.org).
• The Social Stitch: Not in a "maker" mood? Come for the Networking & Chat. We’d love to catch up and see what’s been inspiring you lately.
