* To limit the number of people and avoid large crowds, there will be no vendors at this sewing retreat. There will be opportunities to purchase sewing supplies, however, no large vendors. While Florida does not have any guidelines on gatherings as of January 2021, I will only be hosting 4, quarterly sessions, with 10 people in attendance.  

*The idea is to have a small getaway, learn, network and have fun while enjoying the sun and new friends.  Florida has no travel restrictions but suggests gatherings of no more than 50 people. I am doing 10 only! 

* COVID 19 Information - You must sign a form stating you are Covid FREE at least 5 days before the retreat.  Let's all do our part to keep others safe. While masks will not be mandatory,  wear your mask if you will feel more comfortable!  We will be spaced, yet together. : )  For more information COVID 19 check out the Visit Florida web page.
​
Due to the limited space, there will be no refunds, credits or exchanges offered on any deposits, partial or full retreat payments. If you cannot attend the retreat it is up to you to sell your spot and contact us to let us know of your replacement.

For more information, fill in the form .
Registration opens January 15, 2021!
