Description

The Project

Our party project is a patchwork pillow! Guests will have their pick of a huge selection of fabrics making each pillow is truly unique. We love this project because even brand new sewers are able to walk away with a unique creation they made themselves in a little over an hour of sewing time!

Project substitutions:  We’ve run hundreds of sewing parties with this project so we realize it’s quite possible some of your guests have already made this pillow.  We use this project because it’s successful 100% of the time.  Over the years we’ve tried other projects with substantially less success.  An hour and fifteen minutes is a very short time to get guests unfamiliar with sewing through an entire project.  We feel the sewing party is all about having fun with your friends and expressing yourself through your fabric choices, it’s not supposed to be challenging.

What happens during a sewing party?
Broken down by time:

Party hosts arrive 15 minutes early for setup and orientation. Please no earlier as we’re setting up during that time for your event.

A two-hour party is broken down in 15-minute sections below so you know what to expect. There’s a lot to get done so we adhere very closely to this schedule.

0 – 15 Guests arrive and select fabric for their project

15 – 30 Sewing machine demo and practice sewing squares

30 – 1:30 Project is sewn and stuffed

1:30 – 2 Refreshments

2 – 2:15 Hosts bid farewell to guests and gather their belongings. Don’t worry about cleaning up, that’s our job!
