Spring Meet Saturday Breakfast Sewing Chat

By |2026-04-30T07:55:10-04:00March 1st, 2026|, |

Mark your calendars for our next meet up, a cozy Saturday morning breakfast chat. We’ll be gathering at Panera Bread, right behind Town and Country Mall. It’s a relaxed spot to connect, share ideas, and spend time with other creative people. Feel free to bring a small bag of craft supplies or materials you’d like to pass along. If no one takes your items, just plan to bring them back home with you. This group is open to anyone who loves or wants to explore sewing and crafting. Whether you are brand new or have been doing this for years, you will feel welcome. We always have a mix of familiar faces and new people at every meet up. If you’ve been thinking about coming, this is a great time to join us. It’s an easy way to meet new friends and get inspired. Let me know if you have any questions. I would love to see you there.
