Sew Successfully Retreat with Fit for Art Patterns at the Maritime Conference Center

Sold Out!  Look for a retreat to be scheduled in the Spring of 2022 (dates, etc. to be announced).

Join Rae and Carrie for expert guidance at this sewing retreat for beginner to advanced sewists.  Let us inspire your creativity on a project of your choosing!  Plus, you’ll enjoy the fun of working in a community of fellow sewists in a beautiful space.  We will be available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily to provide individualized help toward success on your sewing projects. This may include assistance with:

  • Fitting Fit for Art’s patterns, beginning from our fit samples or from the mock-up or garment you bring with you;
  • Making pattern adjustments for fit;
  • Modifying a Fit for Art jacket, knit or pants pattern for Variations or Details;
  • Planning a coordinated travel or everyday wardrobe;
  • Working with fabric in your stash, such as developing a mixed fiber garment;
  • Planning and making a more complex wearable art garment;
  • Trying a project featured in a Sew! Let’s Get Dressed blog post;
  • Or whatever sewing project you are dreaming about!

The fee is $145 per day with a minimum of 2 days required. The fee includes complimentary parking, lunch, and ample snacks and beverages each day. Fit for Art will provide a sewing table for each participant (which can be left set up day-to-day) plus: cutting tables, ironing stations, pattern paper, pattern drafting tools, and the Tabula Rasa Jacket and Eureka! Pants that Fit fitting shells. Bring your own sewing machine, serger if desired, basic sewing and cutting tools, patterns, fabric, thread and notions for your projects.
