EVENTS

 

Distinctive Sewing Supplies believes that participation in the fashion sewing industry is essential to keeping it alive, thriving, interesting and accessible to everyone.  For that reason, we endeavour to support local trade shows that give home fashion sewists like you the opportunity to see first hand all the interesting fabrics, patterns and sewing supplies on the market.  We also host lectures, trunk shows and demos to make attendance at these events a learning, fun and worthwhile experience for trade show attendees.

If you have a guild local to the Oakville, ON area (and the Minden, ON area in the summer), and would like us to present "Sewing Batik Rayon from Bali", please contact us at info@distinctivesewing.com.

This is the third annual Knitters Jamboree and it gets better every year.  This is the only show that caterers to both machine knitters and hand knitters alike.   Admission is $8.00 per ticket (before April 15) and $10.00 at the door.  There are door prizes, free demonstrations, a fashion show and a snack bar.  Yarn Plus will have their luscious ready-to-dye rayon and tencel chenille yarns.  Another favourite, Grand River Yarns brings a great selection of hand dyed yarns; mohair, baby alpaca, and merinos.  Peter of Sew 'n Knit 'n Serge always has great bargains on hand and machine knitting yarns.  And there's a lot more.  A nice selection of fabrics and patterns will be available from Distinctive Sewing Supplies.  For full information on Knitters Jamboree click here.

 

 

The Royal Canadian Legion is located on the South leg of Hansall Circle, off Dundas Street East, between Hurontario on the West and Cawthra on the East.  Visit MapQuest and enter the address provided here to get directions.
