About

Join us for a weekend of solid sewing. No email. No chores. No paperwork. Just sewing and socializing. What a joy!

You’ll be inspired by the work of other BARN sewists and you’ll be amazed by how much you can accomplish in two solid days. Spread your cutting out on BARN’s cutting tables. Use one of BARN’s Presto 2 sewing machines (we’ll do an orientation if you haven’t already), get a one-on-one training session on BARN’s Solaris embroidery machine, or bring your sewing machine from home.

Treat yourself with a weekend of sewing or come for one day, or just a few hours—all are welcome!

NOTE: To reserve one of BARN’s Presto 2 machines for the weekend, please click on the registration type for "Reserve Machine." If you are not a BARN member but would like to reserve a sewing machine please email fiber.programming@bainbridgebarn.org. 

Supplies: Bring your own fabric, thread, interfacing/batting/stabilizer, machine needles, and other materials you need for your project. BARN has a limited stash of quilting cotton and other fabric you can purchase. You can bring your own tools or use BARN’s.
