ome nights you want to be productive. Some nights you want to eat snacks, listen to music, and attempt something crafty with a room full of fun people. Sew, What the Hell is your place for both.
Once a month on Friday night (5:30–10:30 PM), Janel hosts an open sewing/crafting hangout at Ana’s Sewing Studio – Appleton. Think of it as a cross between a casual sewing bee, a slumber party without the pajamas*, and a “sure, we’ll figure it out” sewing club attitude with the hope of figuring it out.
How it works:
$20 covers your spot for the evening.
If you want to join in the optional themed project, you’ll just need to purchase the project kit/materials separately. (15% off any extra supplies you grab during the night—excluding the kit.)
Bring your own project if you’d rather work on something else—quilting, mending, embroidery, or any sewing-adjacent craft is welcome.
Any skill level welcome. Really. Janel’s a self-described “beginner with tenacity,” but she’s all about problem-solving and figuring it out together. If you are looking for the equivalent of the Genius Bar for sewing- this is not your night- unless you bring your own genius.
Snacks to share? Always appreciated. Music requests? Absolutely. You want to door dash something, super.
We’ll have a theme each month, from quirky projects to seasonal fun, but there’s zero pressure to participate. Bring your craft, bring your humor, and bring your willingness to say “sew, what the hell” when things don’t go as planned.
*pajamas would be ok though
Key Details:
Where: Ana’s Sewing Studio – Appleton
When: One Friday a month, 5:30 PM – 10:30 PM
Cost: $20 + materials if you want to use from Ana's craft supply
Includes: Vibes, music, optional projects, snacks (if you bring ‘em), and 15% off extra supplies purchased that night (excludes kits)
Please bring your sewing machine or alternate craft.
September Date: Friday, September 19th. 5:30-10:30 PM
September Theme: CRAFT CRIMES. We attempt to sew something or somethings no self respecting sewing teacher would try to make.
Cost: $20 to come for the night. If you want access to "the kit", $10 will give you access to Ana's scrap tote and some notions like buttons and other weird stuff to make something with. You can also bring your own stuff if you'd rather.
You do not need to commit any craft crimes. You can come and hang out and see what you're in the mood for or bring something sewing or sewing adjacent to work on. (Embroidery, crochet, whatever)

Please feel free to bring snacks to share if you'd like as well as some suggestions for songs to listen to (clean songs only please). I mean if you are really wanting to spice it up you could come dressed as a detective. Janel can barely find pants in the morning, so she will not be dressing up. You do you.
Remember you can attend Sew What the H*ll with Janel and NOT participate in the theme project- you can do your own thing and just hang out for the $20 fee.
Ages 15-Adult.
