Sew-N-Sews is a club whose focus is sewing and various needle arts, which is reflected in the programs each month. The club meets September through May on the second Wednesday of the month at 1:30 p.m. Currently, we meet in the Oakwood Ballroom; however, starting in January 2016, we will be meeting on the same day and same time but the location will change to the Navajo Room of Sun Lakes Country Club.

If you have an interest in sewing or other needle arts, come and experience a meeting. You may be surprised at what you’ll see and learn.
