Maker Retreat | November 4th – 7th 2021

Fort Worden | Port Townsend Washington

 

Join Kimberly, Delia, Adrianna, and Jess for 4 days of making, community, and a chance to step away from your day to day life and just create.

 

We’ll kick off our shoes, get comfortable, experiment, and make new friends. (You can never have too many maker friends.)

This retreat is for makers and sewists of all levels. Some classes focus on sewing, and many focus on other crafts so you can expand your skillset, try new things, and find inspiration in unexpected places.

Prepare to immerse yourself in creativity for an entire long weekend! You’ll return home with a full heart, some finished projects, and fresh perspective on your creative pursuits.

Adrianna started her business because she often heard people say that sewing was too confusing or difficult when they would follow traditional patterns, or that those patterns didn’t reflect RTW styles.  She knew there was a market for well-drafted, simple-to-sew patterns for more modern clothing designs.
