Pattern Swap + Show & Tell

Ready to destash some patterns and/or pick up some new patterns and meet other sewists? Come to our Pattern Swap and Show & Tell!

Go through your patterns and see what you'd like to give to another sewist. We'll also have time for some Show & Tell after the pattern swap.

***If you'd like to bring a snack or drinks to share, please note it on this spreadsheet.***

We'll have four selection rounds. For each pattern you bring, you get to participate in one selection round. For example, if you brought at least three patterns, you get to select one pattern during each of the first three rounds. The last round is open to all!

The actual pattern swap part doesn't take very long (about 15 minutes) so we'll also have time to sewcialize before and after the swap.

IMPORTANT: If your patterns are not taken by anyone, you may need to take them back unless someone can take some to donate them to FabMo or SCRAP.
