Fort Collins Chapter of American Sewing Guild

FORT COLLINS CHAPTER

Do you love to sew and live in Northern Colorado? Welcome to the Fort Collins Chapter of the American Sewing Guild

We are sewing enthusiasts who meet together for programs, fellowship, and the sharing of inspiration.  

There's nothing as stimulating to creativity like seeing what your friends have been making!



All Fort Collins Chapter meetings are currently cancelled for the month of March. This includes all neighborhood group meetings. Additional information on the resumption of meetings will be posted as soon as it is determined.


***NEW LOCATION***


We have a new location for our chapter meetings:


Harmony Presbyterian Church

400 W. Boardwalk Dr., Fort Collins


6:30 pm Meet and Greet

7:00 pm Meeting

Attend a Meeting before Joining!

Prospective members are welcome to attend two meetings free (chapter meetings or neighborhood groups) to meet other members and see what the chapter is involved in. 


After the second meeting, you can join the chapter on-line through the National American Sewing Guild website, or by filling out an application and mailing it in. At the ASG website, you will also see what the membership provides you: discounts, on-line classes, and connections to other sewing enthusiasts!
