The American Sewing Guild is a non-profit organization. We are the Greater Seattle chapter, which covers the northern Puget Sound Area. To the south is the Olympia chapter, to the west is the Silverdale chapter.

We welcome anyone who is interested in learning about or sharing their love of sewing.

Neighborhood and Special Interest Groups

At the core of each chapter of the American Sewing Guild are the groups. Our chapter has both neighborhood groups -- groups that are based on where people live -- and special interest groups -- groups that are focused on a particular area of sewing. Both NGs and SIGs offer the following:

Education: demos, lectures, exposure to the new and unknown
Show and tell: sharing your successes and finds, getting help with your problems
Connection: connecting and networking with other sewing enthusiasts
Special programs: field trips, special guest presenters, and more!

We welcome visitors! You can attend up to two meetings at any group before deciding to join ASG. Also, you don't have to live in a particular area to come to a neighborhood group -- chapter members are welcome to attend whichever meetings they like. If you don't see a neighborhood group convenient to you, drop us a line and let us know. If enough people in an area are interested, a new group can be started!

ASG members can attend meetings anywhere ASG has a chapter. Are you traveling to another region? See what the local American Sewing Guild chapter has going on! Find other ASG chapters at the national ASG site.
