This group is for anyone who makes garments. All ages, skill levels, genders are welcome. Come learn new skills, make new sewing friends, learn about making clothes that fit but do not cost a fortune.
The Dayton Garment Designers Meetup is not a free class although you can learn from making sewing friends. It is simply a meet up. We will cover various events including socials, group classes, relevant exhibitions, fabric shopping/day trips, fabric swaps, interesting talks and tips and so much more. Sewing is fun!
