We’re having a party!

If you’re in Portland (or thereabouts), mark your calendars!

We’re having a fun & crafty party to celebrate both the holidays and the release of The Colette Sewing Handbook! Wear festive attire, drink fancy drinks, nibble on some goodies, and meet some of your fellow sewists.

And if you have extra buttons and trim laying around, bring them along and join in the trim swap! We’ll also have some fun hand sewing projects to make while you chat, and giveaways from our lovely friends at Bolt Fabric and Modern Domestic.

Oh, and the whole thing will take place at Ford Food & Drink, located in the Ford Building where the CP studio is. It’ll be awesome.

Thursday, Nov 17th, 2011
8:00PM
Ford Food & Drink
2505 SE 11th Ave, Portland, OR

We’ll have some drinks available early in the evening, with a cash bar available throughout the night.

We’d love it if you could RSVP so we can get an idea of how many people are coming. Just click the link and enter your info!

I wish I lived in Portland! I’d love to come. Can we have an East Coast sequel? :)

Crossing my fingers that my company needs me to go to our headquarters in Portland at this time! That would be awesome!

East Coast feeling a little left out….maybe a book signing or something out here? Washington DC?

Yes! I was willing to travel to New York from DC but it’s even better if I can metro there.

Hi Ladies! I am seriously thinking about coming to your event- to meet the brains behind your amazing products, but I would be coming by myself from San Francisco and I am not familiar with the Portland area… Is there an area that would be the best place for a hotel? What would you suggest….. anybody?
thanks so much!

I always recommend the Ace Hotel downtown! We always stayed there before we moved to Portland and it’s affordable and cozy. It’s not walking distance to the party location, but our bus system is excellent here.
