Sewing and other needle crafts can often feel like a solitary endeavor, and starting a new project or deciphering a complex pattern can be daunting. The idea behind this meetup is to:

• Build a reliable community of fellow crafters.
• Share knowledge and learn new skills from each other.
• Gain encouragement to tackle challenging projects.
• AMake crafting social and fun!

We meet at the Stewart County Public Library in Dover, TN. The Library offers a wonderful, well-lit meeting space located just to the left of the main entrance. We'll set up:

• Plenty of tables and chairs for working.
• An ironing board and iron for your convenience.

• Your Current Project: Bring anything you are working on or planning to start! This is the perfect chance to try something new (like a garment pattern) with guidance from others.
• All Necessary Supplies: Don't forget your fabric, thread, patterns, and any specific tools you need.
• Sewing Machine (If Applicable): If you're machine sewing. We will supply the iron and ironing board.
• For Beginners: If you are completely new, you are very welcome! Please have a clear, simple project in mind to start with. Check the library's books or search online for beginner-friendly ideas.

Our meetings are designed to be a very informal and relaxed environment.

• Everyone brings their supplies, grabs a table, and works at their own pace.
• The primary goal is to get to know and support each other.
• Feel free to share your knowledge, learn collaboratively, and most importantly, have fun!

Not at all! We welcome all related needle crafts.

If you enjoy hand sewing, quilting, cross-stitch, needlepoint, embroidery, or knitting, please join us! These activities are closely related, and many projects incorporate multiple skills. We'd love to have sewists, knitters, and all kinds of fiber artists in our group.
