Camp Stitchalot: Winter 2013

A Sewing Retreat Hosted by Pink Castle Fabrics


This week, the blog is being taken over by Camp Stitchalot. But what could be better than that? Camp Stitchalot is a sewing retreat hosted by Pink Castle Fabrics. Better than camp, because you'll have real beds, and get to sew all day (and night, too, if you desire!)

Camp Stitchalot Winter 2013

This year's winter session runs December 6-8, with an optional free sewing day on Thursday December 5th.  Meals are included from Friday dinner to Sunday breakfast. If you come, just like summer camp, you will make great friends! And they will love sewing! Just like you do.

Winter 2013's theme is handmade gifts!
