ABOUT

What is Swapaholics?

A modern all-inclusive sewing retreat for all the swap lovers out there! 

What will we do?

Imagine a weekend filled with friends, time to sew, and the opportunity to learn new projects and techniques. We will also have a handful of swaps going on throughout the weekend, as well as a pre-retreat swap. Swaps and sew-alongs are not mandatory, though we're sure you won't want to miss out on any of them! Expect a laid back schedule, with plenty of time to sew and relax with friends. And if you want to take a break from it all, there is an indoor pool, sauna, whirlpool, as well as hiking trails and more!

What will be included?

Included in the cost of your ticket will be 8 meals, 3 nights of lodging, 3 sew-along classes, and access to the sewing room from noon Thursday until Saturday night. A detailed list of fabric requirements for each class will be made available prior to the retreat so you can prepare your favorite prints for your projects ahead of time. Also included is lots of swag and giveaways (not to mention the swag you get from swapping)!

What kind of meals will be served?
Delicious, freshly prepared meals using quality ingredients. Local vegetables, fresh fruits and meats are served during designated times. Alternate dietary requests such as gluten-free, vegan/vegetarian can be served with advance notice.
