The American Sewing Guild is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to people who believe sewing is a rewarding and creative activity. Membership in the Guild is open to the public and welcomes sewists of all skill levels. The Minneapolis/St. Paul Chapter is one of the largest chapters in the country and serves the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota.
We organize a variety of educational workshops, lectures and trunk shows throughout the year. Events vary from garment fitting, quilting, accessory sewing, using your serger and more. Typically the chapter hosts 2 or 3 nationally recognized sewing experts each year. ASG members contribute to their communities by sewing a variety of garments, bags, and items for the military, children and others in need. These items are sewn by individuals, by Neighborhood Groups, and at the annual Make A Difference day. Our quarterly newsletter, The Selvedge, contains local news and events, shared projects and resources from members and guild news.
