Retreats

If you’ve ever wished you could stitch for a whole weekend without feeling guilty… retreats are for you. Our retreats are all about community, learning, laughing, and going home with new skills (and usually a few new treasures from the pop-up shop).
Whether you come with friends or arrive solo, you’ll be welcomed like you’ve been part of the group forever. Check the upcoming dates, what’s included, and how to join the waitlist.
