But why not join us for lunch before hand at Stitch Bar and Grill? You can sign up for both the tour and /or the luncheon at www.smocking.org.

Please note the museum guidelines :

Fashion and textiles are particularly fragile objects.
To protect them, light levels are kept low and the following are not permitted in the Museum:

• Touching the garments. The oil from your hands is damaging.
• Pens or markers: Sketching in the galleries is permitted only with pencil.
• Food, beverages (including water), gum.
• Flash photography 
• Tripods
• Selfie Sticks
• Movie and video cameras.

Non-commercial still photography for personal use is now permitted in designated galleries. Flash, tripods, and selfie sticks are not permitted. At times photography may be prohibited in certain galleries or of specific objects due to lender’s restrictions.

The Museum requests that you:

• silence your cell phones.

I look forward to seeing you there!

The bookstore, exhibit and boutique are open until 4 pm. 

 

The vendor’s market is from 7 pm - 9 pm. 

 

Come and go as you please. 

 

This is designed to be a fun day out with friends that love to stitch as much as you. 

 

We will meet at the Conference Center at 1 pm.
