Sew Day Sponsorship

Sponsor/host the next Sew Day! (The last Member Sew Day is Saturday, March 9.)

REMINDERS:

  • Sew Days are a free perk with Guild Membership, occurring periodically when members volunteer to arrange and host (up to three per membership year).
  • A minimum of 15 members must sign up for Sew Day for it to be held.
  • Members may invite a guest for a Sew Day, but each guest may be invited one time. The same member could invite a different guest for another sew day.
  • There are not enough outlets in the hall for sewers to bring their own irons which take a great deal of power. Only the Guild’s irons can be used. 

Sponsor a Sew Day!

Grab some friends or tablemates to sponsor a day of sewing for yourself and your Guild sisters!

What does that mean?  Your group will be responsible to plan, prepare, and follow through with only one Sew Day.
