This is our first chapter event of the year, and a purely social one. We get together to see old friends, make new ones, and have fun. There’s a show and share (ideally something you’ve made in red!), an optional gift exchange, door prizes, and a potluck. Bring a friend for some sewcial fun!

Spring Retreat
Our next spring retreat will be late April – early May, 2027. As always, it will be held the beautiful Seabeck Conference Center at 13395 Lagoon Drive, Seabeck , WA 98380. We get to enjoy up to 4 days and 3 nights of no cooking, no cleaning, just lots of sewing and fun. Let’s call it what it is – adult sleepaway camp in all the best ways! Big news – we’ve added a bunch of new options including 3 days/2 nights and day use so you can create the retreat that suits you best! Watch this space for more info and to register.
Chapter Sew-In

The Sew & Sews neighborhood group will host an all day Sew In on Thursday, April 8, 2027 in Port Orchard, WA. Head to the Chapter Sew In page for more more details. If you’re curious about our sewing community, this is a great opportunity to stop by and see us in action and learn about what we do and why we do it. Warning – you may catch the sewing bug!
