Summer of the Silver Screen: Sewing Workshops / Camps

In Partnership with the Museum of the Cape Fear

This year's summer sewing workshop/camp series is being conducted in partnership with Fayetteville's Museum of the Cape Fear.  Each workshop will be conducted in the museum's community space, just a stone's throw from the 1897 Poe House (not Edgar Allen, but still fascinating).    


Basic sewing experience is required, but nothing more than that.  I am here to help you learn and work through any challenges you might encounter!  


Can't wait to see you all there!

Is This a Summer Camp?

While this is technically set up as a sewing workshop for adults, children aged 12-18 can be dropped off for the day with their parent's permission (see registration), so think of it as an advanced summer camp!  

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out.

Drive, Fly, or Take the Train

RDU

Amtrak

RDU

RDU makes flying into NC quick and easy.  Southwest Airlines has a hub and is a great option.


Just note that it is about an hour drive from RDU to  Fayetteville (pretty much a straight shot south on I95).

FAY

Amtrak

RDU

Fayetteville has a pretty good little airport right in town (thanks to the military) and you may find that getting a direct flight is just as cheap (and a lot faster) than dealing with rental cars and long drives from RDU.  


Our Uber and Lyft services are pretty good here as well.

We also have an Amtrak right in the Historic Downtown!  The hours might be a little wonky, but you can get some good rates if you're not coming from all the way across the country - or maybe you want to make a trip out of it!
