Open Studio Days

September 26, 2025 5 Comments

Open Studio Days

We are opening our studio up for visitors every first Friday of the month, starting this October 3rd!

Come visit our studio from 10 am to 3 pm every first Friday of the month.  We are also going to have a Saturday open studio from 11 to 3 on most third Saturdays of the month.  So this month, that will be October 18.

Location: 240 Clingman Ave Ext, Asheville, NC 28801

To get to us:  We are located directly behind Ultra Coffee Bar.  You can go around behind Ultra, and go up the wooden ramp. We are the first door you will come to on the wooden ramp.  Or, come behind Akira Satake/Rite of Passage -- we are located through/behind their shop and to the right.

We are excited to invite you into our working studio to shop for patterns or fabric.  We have a pretty easy checkout system and can help you with your projects, too.  

In addition, we have a great collection of Folkwear samples, original clothing from around the world, and vintage/historic clothing.  So you can see some amazing clothes and get inspired for your next project.

We are a working studio, so you will see some of our mess too!  We have lots of cardboard boxes, cutting tables with projects on them, thread everywhere, and moving pieces.  But we love for you to see (and appreciate) our work and what goes into running a sewing pattern company (or two).  

And bring by your sewing projects if you want!  We would love to see what you are working on! 

We are looking forward to seeing you!

Upcoming Open Studio Days:

  • Friday, October 3, 10am-3pm
  • Saturday, October 18, 11am-3pm
  • Friday, November 7, 10am-3pm
  • Saturday, November 15, 11am-3pm
  • Friday, December 5, 10am-3pm

I have been looking forward to this coming Friday! Bringing another neighbor and fellow retired teacher, making a “field trip” of the day with a stop at ButterPunk and Local Cloth. I am proud to say that I actually managed to use all of the 2+yards of that blue with exotic fruits laminated cotton I got last time. I made it a requirement for another visit. One apron, one tablecloth and seven “bowl covers” of various sizes, as scraps allowed. get your yard stick out!

I wish Oct 25th was a studio day. I am going to be in Asheville for SAFF and would totally stop by if it were. I live too far away to come during normal hours

I’ll be in Asheville for one day on October 22. I would love to come by and see your office iand Studio space. Would that be OK? No it’s not the first Friday or your regular open studio dates.
