Brown Bag Hustle is a fun evening where you donate unused articles from your sewing room and/or stash and purchase more from the Hustle to take their place. What makes it adventurous is that you just might find a hidden jewel that turns into a prized possession!

Note the early start time! Drop off begins at 5:00 p.m. and the meeting begins at 6:00 p.m.

Please help us make this a huge success by bringing guests. The guest fee has been waived.
