Annual Sewing Retreat
The winter retreat is a carefree and relaxed four-day sewing retreat, usually in the first quarter of the year. It’s carefree because we are provided with sleeping rooms, 12 buffet meals, large well lighted sewing room at a beautiful and tranquil retreat center.
We provide cutting and ironing stations, snack table, and table space or work area. This is an open sew retreat. Attendees bring their projects to make, we do not hold classes. A fabric stores are available in the area for stocking up on fabric, thread or notions.
To attend this sewing retreat, you must be a member of the American Sewing Guild. If you are interested, the sign up information goes out mid-year in our newsletter, the chapter google group, and you will need to be a member to receive our newsletter.
If you like to spend time with people who enjoy sewing, laughing, eating, and all-around good time, think about joining us.
The 2027 Winter Sewing Retreat will be moving to St. Clare's Retreat Center in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Dates are January 13 to 17th, 2027.
