Sewing Saturday
Are you new to WQG? Are you a current member? Are you wondering what Sewing Saturdays are all about? Well….let me tell you a bit of what to expect. We meet at Aloha Sew and Vac the third Saturday of the month for sewing, and fellowship (sometimes a bit of shopping).
Our guild provides: irons, Best Press, advice on projects if wanted, conversation, and fun. Aloha Sew and Vac supplies: large tables to share, ironing boards, cutting tables and cutting mats. You bring: sewing machine, rotary cutter, other supplies and a project or two (we are positive we will get more done than we do!). There are restaurants within the shopping center or bring your own lunch (refrigerator and microwave available). You can sew on a project, hand sew or cut out the next quilt, meet new members, become a new member, meet members who are “new to you”, sew or visit, most of all come join in our fun.
The hours are 9:00 am to 3:50 pm (store closes at 4:00). Please send me (Verla Kelly in the directory) an email or text on or before the Thursday prior to Sewing Saturday and let me know if you plan to attend. I need to notify Aloha Sew and Vac on Friday, by noon, how many will be in attendance, in order for them to set up. If you happen to forget, no worries, I will find you a seat and table.
NOTE: There is NO SEWING SATURDAY IN SEPTEMBER 2024
We will have a SEWING WEEKEND in October! October 11 and October 12 – Friday and Saturday during store hours (9-5 on Friday, 9-4 on Saturday).
Come for all of it, or come and go as you like. If you come on Friday, you can leave your stuff overnight ( it will be locked inside the store).
