Before the event, Sewtopia collaborates with Windham Fabrics to choose six fabrics for the Fabric Challenge. A few months prior to the event, each participant will receive six fat quarters. While participating in the Fabric Challenge is optional, it is highly recommended. The rules are straightforward – you can utilize one or all of the fabrics, ensuring that only Windham Fabrics are used in your finish project. During check in attendees will be asked to submit their projects to be eligible for ribbons and prizes.

The highlight of our weekend get-together is exploring fabric and quilt stores in the area with us. Think of it as a shopping version of a pub crawl. Stay tuned for additional details and confirmation of participation as the event approaches.

Sewtopia’s Sewing Lounge will be open Thursday, November 7th at 5pm and will close at midnight. It will reopen on Friday and Saturday at 8:00am and close at midnight. Sunday's hours will be 8:00am to noon.

Attendees will receive communication before the event about seating arrangements. We will allocate tables and groupings based on your seating requests. If you’re bring your sewing machine or belongings, you won't need to transport them back to your room as Sewtopia and the hotel will secure the main ballroom each night. Feel free to utilize this time to complete projects or explore the area with friends.

General tools will be provided in the sewing room like irons, cutting mats, and rotary cutters.

In 2017, Sewtopia launched its online store, followed by the opening of our physical store in December 2020. We consistently update our shop with fabrics, notions, and more. We're bringing the shop on the road with a small but mighty pop up full of new fabrics from our favorite manufacturers like Ruby Star Society, Windham Fabrics, Robert Kaufman, and others. Make sure to leave some extra room to bring a lot of goodies home!

Sewtopia will do one official swap that attendees can participate in. This is a blind swap, meaning we will not assign you a partner. If you choose to participate, we ask that you bring your swap item wrapped at Check-In. If you bring an item to swap, you get one back. We will distribute swap items at the end of Friday night for you to open Saturday.
