Neighborhood Groups are at the heart of the American Sewing Guild experience, offering a welcoming, small-group setting to connect, learn, and share their passion for sewing. These groups typically meet monthly at times and locations convenient for their members, providing an informal environment for hands-on activities, and lively discussions about sewing techniques and projects
Group leaders send an email monthly regarding meeting information to ASG members. If you are not an ASG member and plan to attend, please reach out to the group leader and be on the look out for communications from them. Visitors may attend a total of two monthly meetings or two neighborhood group meetings, after which they must decide to join ASG if they wish to continue attending any more Chapter or Neighborhood Group meetings on a regular basis.
