June 2025 Sewing Meetings

It's a new month and that means another opportunity to attend any of our Neighborhood Group meetings!

Fairfax Seams Sew Fun
Friday, June 6, noon to 3:30
Ben Glass Law Firm, Conference Room, 3998 Fair Ridge Dr, #250, Fairfax, VA 22033

This month FSSF will be doing a sew-in to make pillowcases for three different charities:  

• Ryan’s Case for Smiles  
• Ronald McDonald House 
• Alex’s Army, Gainesville chapter  

All fabric will be provided, ready to assemble!  All we need to do is sew and iron the completed pillowcases.  The pillowcases can be serged or sewn. We'll return them to Berger’s in Manassas for distribution. Any pillowcases not completed during the sew-in can be taken home to finish. 

Please bring your sewing machine or serger, basic sewing tools, and neutral-colored thread. The room does have power strips down the center of the table, but you might like to bring an extension cord. If you don't want to sew, please come as we can use your help coordinating activities.

Success starts with great teamwork! To make this event run smoothly, we need to know how many people are attending and what tasks they’re ready to take on—whether it’s sewing, serging, ironing, setting up, cleaning up, or pitching in wherever needed. Please email Sally and Melissa at fairfax@asgnova.org by June 4th. 

Feel free to bring a drink or snack!
