Cynthia's is now the monthly meeting location for the American Sewing Guild local chapter. There are two groups that meet. The group encompasses all types of garment sewing and embellishments from coats, jackets, blouses, and pants to leisure wear and lingerie. We sponsor sew-alongs, focusing on a single project for three or four months during the year, interspersed with presentations on Zoom or in person by well-known sewists around the state demonstrating a variety of methods and techniques to help give our finished garments a professional look and fit. We are working on improving the sustainability of our craft by repurposing existing garments and fabrics with the intent of reducing land-fill waste. We do sewing for community service organizations throughout the year. The COGS group meets from 10 am until noon on the 2nd Friday of each month except July and December.

In this beginner class, participants will learn to use wheat straw to weave two plaits: the 7-Straw Arrow Plait, and the 4-Straw Compass Plait. These plaits can be woven around a wire core, then bent or twisted, and formed into interesting shapes: hearts, circles, stars, treble clef, etc. The ideas are endless. No prior experience is necessary, and all materials will be furnished by the instructor.
