Happy Holidays: We’re taking a short break

The holidays are upon us. That means the studio girls are taking a break! The studio will be closed between December 21 and January 3. Classes begin again on January 4. There will be no classes or Free Studio Time running while we’re closed.

Luckily we’ve got a bunch of classes starting in the new year! We’ve got a new round of Introductory Sewing classes beginning the week of January 18th. Our January schedule also includes a Serger Basics workshop and tons of Ready to Wear and Sewing PLUS courses. We will be taking online registrations over the break.

And dont forget, we’ve got gift certificates for the sewer (or soon-to-be-sewer) on your list!

We cant wait to see you in the new year!

We’re giving big this holiday season!

Hello, lovelies!

It’s that time of year again. The Sewing Studio is gearing up for the holidays! And what better way to celebrate than to share our joy and warm spirits with others?

This year, we’ve decided to take part in Operation Christmas Child, an organization that sends personalized holiday gifts to deserving children around the world.

How can you help? Fill a box with treasures!

- Come by The Sewing Studio’s Summerhill location (1225 Yonge Street)
- Pick up a special Operation Christmas Child shoe box* (there are instructions and specifics inside each box)
- Fill the box at home with goodies for a deserving child
- Bring the box back to The Sewing Studio before 6pm on November 18th

*Please note, each box requires a $7 donation, which Operation Christmas Child uses to pay for the delivery of the box to other countries.

The Sewing Studio’s hours for pick-up and drop-off are:
Sundays and Wednesdays from 2-6pm until November 18th.

While you’re picking up or dropping off your box for Operation Christmas Child, or if you’re looking for another way to share joy around the world, bring in new or used (but washed, of course) T-shirts for our second charity mission to West Africa. We’re collecting T-shirts again to give to village children in the country of Ghana. Collection boxes will be at all locations of The Sewing Studio until the end of January. Last year, we collected 177 shirts in only 2 weeks. This year we’re aiming to collect over 2000 in 3 months! Help us warm a child’s heart.

Much love!
