  • We are happy to be co-hosting Stab and Gab, a monthly fiber arts meetup with @mention[@artisansbooksandcoffee](artisansbooksandcoffee). Every first Saturday of the month, we will be gathering at Artisans to work on our projects and spend time with other crafters. Knitting, sewing, spinning, needle felting, crochet, etc-- all fiber crafts are welcome!

The first meetup is on Saturday Dec. 6th, from 6 - 8pm
at Artisan Books & Coffee, 1802 Hewitt Ave., Everett
  • We spent this weekend sanding the cement floors. There was a lot of spots where the paint was chipping and even some cement blobs that needed smoothing out. We got through the shop side but will need to go over it again with a sanding disk. It was work but it was fun, too.

  • Meet our secretary, Logan!
  • Meet Mia, our vice president!
  • Join Spark Creatives at the Mariner Library for a drop-in style meeting to give you the chance to try using a serger!

Some sewing experience is recommended, and this is meant to be a “test drive” sort of get together instead of a skill lesson.
The machine we’ll have on-site is a Brother 1034D, which is a simple and reliable example of this kind of sewing machine.
A serger is a machine often used for knit material and quick + easy finished seams. If you look at the inside of a tee shirt, the stitches holding the side seam together (under your arm and down your side) were probably done on a commercial serger!

  • We aren't just about making with wood and resin: Baking is Making! Kam made this bread using whole grain flour boosted with protein powder as a great way to start his day.
