May 2026 Community Sewing Day
What a wonderful day of sewing for service! ASG members and members of the public came together at the Avenir Museum to make reusable grocery bags for the VA Clinic in Loveland. With teamwork on-site and extra help finishing bags at home, we completed 77 bags during the event and are on track to deliver 300 bags total. Read the full event recap → (link to blog post)
October 2025 Community Sewing Day with Avenir Museum
On October 18, 2025, our chapter teamed up with the Avenir Museum for another successful Community Sewing Day! With 19 participants—including six ASG members and 13 community volunteers—we worked together to create scent cloths for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Poudre Valley Hospital. These small pieces of flannel help parents and babies stay connected, even when they can’t be together at home.
Thanks to everyone’s hard work, we made a total of 386 scent cloths! The event drew in a few museum visitors who, inspired by our efforts, decided to join in and help. The Manager of Volunteer Services at PVH was thrilled with the donation and has already approached us about supporting another project for the hospital.
This event is a wonderful example of how our guild gives back to the community and brings people together through sewing. We’re grateful to everyone who participated, donated materials, or helped organize the day.
If you’d like to get involved in future community service projects, please keep an eye on our events calendar or contact our Community Service Chair, Stephanie Rusk.
Spring 2025 Community Sewing Day Recap
We are thrilled to share the success of our recent Community Sewing Day, where our amazing volunteers came together to create 62 tote bags for the women and children served by Crossroads Safehouse. This event, co-hosted by the Avenir Museum and the American Sewing Guild Fort Collins Chapter, not only showcased the power of community but also helped keep nearly 62 plastic grain bags out of the landfill!
