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 will send an email monthly regarding meeting info 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 any communications from them. Please be aware that non-members may attend up to 2 ASG events without joining the guild. For information about joining the guild, click here.
