ASG San Jose

Welcome! to the San Jose Chapter of the American Sewing Guild; serving sewing enthusiasts in and around Santa Clara County. We are part of a national, non-profit guild of people who love to sew.

Our Chapter Challenge for 2010 has been chosen by the North Peninsula neighborhood group. We will be making walker bags for veterans. Any pattern you have is suitable. The bags will go to the Veterans Administration Hospital in Palo Alto and/or San Francisco. The bags will be used to hold cell phones, magazines, etc. Our main emphasis is for fabric selection for masculine patterns, sports, hobbies, etc. Maybe this can be an idea for a neighborhood group meeting. Bags will be due at our annual meeting on October 23, 2010.

See the Workshops page for Lynda Maynard’s new classes on Pants Drafting starting Sept. 22. This class is already filling up, so sign up soon!

Something New!! Once a quarter we will be offering a “Sit and Sew” day in a different location in our chapter. This will be a chance to sew with your fellow ASG members for the day. This is for personal sewing time; whatever you like, there is no set program. Think of it as a mini retreat. We have had “Sit and Sews” in Morgan Hill and San Mateo, both of which were very successful.

Already scheduled is our July Sit & Sew. Flyer is on our workshops page and has also been uploaded in our Yahoo group. Location is California Sewing in San Jose. We have the ENTIRE WEEKEND to knock ourselves out! Once again it will be really fun! We expect a sell-out so please print and send in your registration & $$ to reserve your seat.

In August our Sit and Sew will be in Millbrae at The Sewing Machine Place on August 12 from 10am – 4pm. See flyer on the workshop page for more details and registration form.

Enjoy and we hope to see you there!
