When I see people attending blogging, sewing, crafting, and quilting conferences, I get a little jealous. But then I remember that I'm a mega homebody, and even a bit of a hermit, so traveling to spend a lot of time with a lot of people I don't know might be a little out of my comfort zone. Sewing has been out of my comfort zone too for a long time, but no longer!
So what if I could connect with people without leaving my house AND improve my sewing? There is a way! And it's called The Sewing Party.
On November 8, 2014, thousands of DIY-ers will gather for a fun-filled day of sewing and crafting classes taught online by leading bloggers and educational experts. It’s all about Connecting. Crafting. And Creating.
Attendees will have access to more than 30 online classes available on the day of the event and for an additional 90 days. There is truly something for everyone! Classes include home décor, fashion sewing, quilting and upcycling, crafting, costume design, techniques for turning your craft into an entrepreneurial venture, and more!
Space is limited and likely to fill up fast! For just $40, “The Sewing Party” participants can attend classes; chat with participants from across the country; interact with top bloggers and educational experts who are teaching; and explore the latest crafting and sewing tips, techniques and products in the marketplace.

And just check out the companies that are hosting this!
I'm very honored to be an official Friend of The Sewing Party, and that brings good things...for you! Not only do I get to be part of this all-day (plus 90 days!) event, but I get to extend a special offer.

ReplyDeleteAwesome! I'm super excited. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea and I hope to win a spot!
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in it ALL!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to attend! I'm a home body as well so I'm not sure that I'll ever be brave enough to go to meetups, or conferences near me. Always looking to improve my sewing though :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome! I've been to knitting parties but sewing never seemed as portable. Now I don't have to get out of my pajamas to sew with others!
ReplyDeleteThis would be great! I always want to do classes, but I find it too frustrating to lug all of my stuff to another location.
ReplyDeleteI was gonna say the zippered pouch sounds like fun (zippers aren't bad, but i could use help) but DIY bra?! That sounds so awesome!
ReplyDeleteI would like the applique class!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really interesting. The patternmaking class and hand-dying class both sound awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh, this looks like great fun. . .especially for a homebody like me. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, too many choices. I'm interested in nearly all of them. I think the best part is being able to re-watch the classes later.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see bra making with Madalynne! :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to attend!! I would choose the strips and bricks quilt.
ReplyDeleteThere are several I want to try but... Applique for Everyone caught my eye first. I am not a conference goer either... *sigh*. I keep saying someday, but I would rather have my crafts, a movie or a good book.
ReplyDeleteThey all sound so good, but Become a ReFashionista or Laced Up both sound very interesting!! Thanks for the chance to attend.
ReplyDeleteThe little cell phone pouch looks interesting! This event may be lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
