Do I need to bring my own materials?

No! All sewing materials (fabric, needles, thread, scissors, iron, batting) will be provided. However, you are encouraged to bring your own special-to-you fabric to incorporate into your piece, or hop on over to The Wasteshed across the street!

Do I need to bring my own picture?

We will have magazines on hand for anyone who didn't bring one, but you'll love identifying the colors in a photo meaningful to you, so it's highly encouraged!

What is the Chicago Textile Center? I've never heard of it!

We're brand new! A local hub for community, learning, and sharing, Chicago Textile Center strives to be a resource for all Chicagoland textile artists, shops, and studios. We have pop ups all over the City this summer, be sure to check us out!

Of course! We love a family event - please ensure children are supervised at all times, as we are using adult level equipment, such as sharp needles and hot irons.
