2025 Sewing Retreats Sponsored byStitching Girls Society
If you like to sew, come to our Stitching Girls Society Sewing Retreats where you will find many new friends for sharing ideas, inspiration and technical know-how. We get to work on our projects from sun up to sun down without interruptions, except for fun activities, chatting with friends, and eating yummy food - all while enjoying the beautiful natural scenery around us. In the fall, we offer classes to expand our sewing skills. See our Fall 2025 offerings on our Classes page .
Stitching Girls Sociey COVID POLICY follows the protocals of our host venues. Masking and clearly stated to attendees prior to each retreat. We offer single room sleeping accomodations whenever possible but usually with additional venue dictated pricing.
Starting in 1985 our Retreats were known as the Vashon Island Sewing Retreats, to reflect our origins at Camp Burton on Vashon Island. In 2009, we formed the Stitching Girls Society nonprofit to continue the then 24 year tradition of educational and fun Sewing Retreats. By 2018, we were no longer convening on Vashon Island, so we have changed our retreat name to the Stitching Girls Sewing Retreats! In fall of 2024, we celebrated our 40th Fall Retreat. Click here to see photos of all the fun we had.
Our Stitching Girls Sewing Retreats continue to be attended by the same enthusiastic and creative group of sewists as always and we welcome new Retreaters and new Members at every Retreat. See more information about each Retreat below and on the other pages of this site.

at St Andrews
February 17-21, 2025

Attendees to this popular retreat will be drawn from among all those with Deposits paid by 10/1/2024.
This unstructured, 4 night weekend at Camp Huston in Gold Bar, Washington, on the road to Stevens Pass is open to all who want to sew for a do-your-own-projects weekend of sharing camaraderie, sewing ideas, good food and fun, in the natural ambiance of the scenic Pacific Northwest mountains. No classes.
