Below is what the Atlantic Sewing Guild has planned for the 2013-14 year. We meet once a month on the second Tuesday, at St Theresa’s Rectory on the corner of Dublin and North in Halifax (see map below). If you are in the area, we hope you will come out to join us! Please feel free to bring a friend or two as well!
Our meetings often feature guest speakers, workshops and/or special event. This is in addition to these more regular activities:
- “Sew and Tell” of what we made
- Guild news and operations discussion
- Time to browse through our library
- Time to socializing about sewing and related matters
- Among other items.
Special Events Planned for Meetings
