Soup & Thread This Summer

At last: it’s the summer schedule for Soup & Thread!

It took a while to get sorted, but we’re thrilled to announce that Soup & Thread is hitting the great outdoors this summer as part of Night Out in the Parks, with six free community sewing bees hosted by parks across the city. All of our NOITP events will be in concert with other programming: come for the stitchin’ and stay for Summerdance, or a movie, or some circus!

We’ll also be representing at Sundays on State this June and July, sharing space with our friends from the Creative Chicago Reuse Exchange. All of our events are free and family friendly and no sewing experience is required! Come stitch yourself into the fabric of our community at one or all of these upcoming activities.
