Clothes Encounters was formed to do all kinds of garment sewing.  We focus on fit using whatever system works best for the individual member as well as continual learning of fine sewing techniques.  We have a lecture and/or demonstration at each meeting to assist in our learning goals.  We share our "Show and Tell" projects at each meeting with emphasis on the members' successes/challenges for each project.  We have a fabulous group of members who make the meetings not only informative but FUN!
