Sew Gay Club

Join TQNC’s monthly sewing skillshare! Whether you’ve never used a sewing machine or you’re an experienced customer, let’s craft together in a space centering LGBTQIA+ voices and experiences.
What to Expect:We’ll kick off the gathering with a brief tutorial on using a sewing machine and follow with open time to practice, work on projects, and mingle. Bring that top you’ve been meaning to crop or those pants you’ve been meaning to hem. Bring your favorite piece of clothing that needs to be patched up or altered, or the elaborate halloween costume you’ve been working on. Or come with nothing at all but excitement to learn a new skill! We will provide basic machines and supplies for attendees. Please note that you may not be guaranteed your own machine to use due to limited supplies, and you may be partnered with a sewing buddy. (If you have your own machine, feel free to bring it.)A few experienced sewing “guides” will be present to teach and answer questions. All are welcome, regardless of skill level, experience, or identity.
