About Us
The Raleigh, NC Chapter of the American Sewing Guild has been a chartered chapter of the National ASG organization since 1993. It is the largest chapter in North Carolina with over 150 members and has enjoyed steady growth.
In keeping with the ASG’s mission statement – “Advancing Sewing as an Art and Life Skill” – we sponsor several sewing events throughout the year.
Regular events include:
- Sewing Retreats - relax and enjoy four uniterupted days of sewing at the beach or in the mountains!
- Chapter Sew-Ins - a day of sewing held locally
- Scheduled seminars and workshops by nationally known sewing educators
- An Annual Meeting for all chapter members
Our Chapter programs are planned by the Chapter Advisory Board (CAB) with as much input as possible from members. Occasionally we conduct surveys to ensure are plans are meeting member interests and we encourage members to submit requests and suggestions to the CAB.
Our Chapter Newsletter “Sew What’s New?” is distributed electronically every other month to all chapter members in addition to being posted on the ASG national website in the Members Only section.

Giving Back to the Community - Sewing Acts of Kindness
The Raleigh NC Chapter of the ASG is very active in using our talents to give back to the community. Each year we choose at least one project in addition to our national projects. Some neighborhood Groups also choose a charity to support each year.
We have chosen the following projects:
- National ASG Service Project - sewing items for babies - blankets, bibs, burp cloths, and newborn hats - that will be donated to local hospitals and charities supporting mothers and newborns. (you can find links to the project patterns and instructions in the files section below.)
- Cancer Port Pillows for the area cancer centers to give to patients free of charge. The port pillow is a small, rectangular pillow that chemotherapy patients use with a seat belt to relieve pressure and possible irritation around the port. This is an on-going project and over 400 pillows have been donated to local cancer centers.
- Sewing Machine donations- gently used and fully serviced sewing machines are donated to local high school and college students.
- Fabric and notions donations - sewing supplies donated to the local high school Apparel and Textile programs, and to local collages with Apparel, Textile and Design Programs.
- Reusable fabric grocery bags - During the holiday season , we sew and donate reusable fabric grocery bags for area food pantries to use for their delivery of holiday meals .
Learn more about all of the Sewing Acts of Kindness projects at the National Level.
Information on past and present projects is available, as well as details to download patterns and instrutions for the various projects.
