Title: Cosplay Sewing Party
Post by: Drauska on September 26, 2011, 12:36:07 pm

I've been looking into a place called PDX SEAMSTERS Sewing Studio.  They offer group lessons in sewing for basics to advanced.  They also can host Sewing parties with music.  Here is a link to their website. http://www.youcansew.org/ (http://www.youcansew.org/)

Would there be a group that would like to do this after we've all gathered our materials and are ready to sew it all together?

Sounds like fun!
I wouldn't mind sewing with people my age for once! (everyone in my sewing class is over 30)

Sounds like fun! And I own a nice sewing machine but, I really can't sew very well to save my life right now.

It looks like they have the machines there...you just have to bring your patterns, pins, scissors, fabric, and thread.

That would actually help me since I HATE dragging my machine around

They have sewing parties that are drop

Overlock Lounge Sewing
four hour Friday evening open sewing with live music - $5
Sew, socialize, and enjoy live music in our professional sewing studio facility with music wired through to every room of the studio!!

There is one on Friday Oct 21st 4-8pm and Friday Oct 28th 4-8pm this is a costume workshop and it costs $10 (not the regular $5).  I believe that this has to be pre-registered to go to.  You can pay the $10 online on their website.  I'm hoping to go to both.  Would love to see Otakus working on their cosplay.
