Sewing Groups Directory

Neighborhood Group and Special Interest Groups

Neighborhood Group (NG) and Special Interest Groups (SIG) are a great way to meet new friends. These small, friendly gatherings are both fun and welcoming to sewists of all levels.

ASG members are invited to attend as many neighborhood group meetings as they’d like. Non-members, however, are welcome to visit up to two meetings before membership is required.

To accommodate different schedules, our chapter offers meetings during the day, in the evening, and on weekends. Each group has a unique focus, allowing members to explore a variety of techniques, topics, and creative approaches to sewing.

Contact NG/SIG leaders directly for more information about meeting locations or online access.

Chapter Meetings

While NGs and SIGs provide intimate spaces for learning and connection, our chapter meetings bring together a larger portion of our membership. These gatherings offer a chance to socialize, participate in chapter business, and enjoy educational speakers or group activities.

The chapter hosts meetings roughly once per quarter, including our annual meeting every December. We’ve also added a summer picnic as a new tradition. Non-members may attend up to two meetings — including both neighborhood and chapter events before membership is required.

To view upcoming events and meeting times, visit our Chapter Calendar.
