Sew It Seams Fall Events:

Read on for news about our Fabulous Fashion Shows and Fall Retreats!

Fabulous Fashion Shows!

We kick the fall off with our

Young 'n Fresh Style Showcase,
September 11 at the Kirkwood UMB Bank!

Featuring the work of our youngest Fabriholics, the tweens and teens who took classes with us this summer, plus the young people who are continuing with us through the fall.

Come see their fresh takes on color, style and technique. We can all learn from this generation's approach to putting wardrobes, garments – and people – together!

Then,

Are you sewing up a storm?

You need to be! For our

Fabulous Fall Fashion Show,
September 19, here under the drive-through arch.

For one lovely afternoon, everyone's a runway model. Even your dog!

As long as she's wearing something you had fun making from Sew It Seams fabric. (Or a kit you bought from us. We're not that picky. We are the ones who sent the Perfect Police packing. Remember?)

Plus, between the on-the-spot discount of 15% on your fabric, pattern and notions – and the 10% store credit you'll get after the show – you'll wind up saving a full 25% off the garment you make to model in the show! (So make something luxurious . . . )

This quarter's charities:

Did you know we donate part of our sales to charity? This quarter, we're supporting:

  • Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
  • Stray Rescue of St. Louis
  • Juvenile Diabetes Research
  • Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition

Tell us which one you'd like to support when we're ringing up your finds of the day.

And, finally, here's the video with the song about the sewing machine!

So many people loved this, we're not about to take it off the site for good. If you'd like to see it bigger, click the YouTube button.
