and other things
Your go-to hub for garment sewing in the Calgary region.
Whether you’re a couture seamstress with a handmade wardrobe or just diving into your first project, Calgary Sews is a great local resource. We’re a volunteer-led group sharing shopping resources, inspiration, and space to connect with others who love to sew
💌 We’re encouraging Charity Sewing this year! Details on local charity sewing opportunities here: ❤️ Charity Sewing Opportunities
We will collect pet beds at the April Calgary Sews Meetup (April 18). If you’re not a member of that group and would like to sew some pet beds, please contact us so we can arrange pick-up or drop-off. And in late summer, we will collect dresses for Project Dress A Girl Around the World (details on the Charity Sewing page).
