Open Studio at STITCH AND DESTROY

Do you love sewing, textiles and fiber arts? But, you don't have a good workspace?

Come work at STITCH AND DESTROY! During our Open Studio, you will have access to sewing machines, a cutting table, an ironing station, and our expert guidance. Unlike our typical workshops, Open Studio allows you to work on your own project, whether that is mending, sewing garments, cutting patterns, or creating soft sculptures.

Our studio offers access to Singer Brilliance sewing machines (one per person). Additionally, there is shared access to our cutting table with a 24"x36" cutting mat and iron and ironing board. Scissors, universal machine sewing needles, all purpose sewing thread, and hand sewing needles will also be available. Please bring your own supplies, patterns, fabric, and projects. You are welcome to bring your own sewing machine, but we will not be reviewing sewing machine basics.

Open Studio is a supervised studio with no instruction. You must be comfortable using a sewing machine. We are happy to provide guidance, suggestions, and answer any sewing related questions.

Space is limited to 4 attendees per hour. You are welcome to reserve the space for 1-3 hours, just choose the time(s) that you will be attending. This workshop is open to folks 16+.
