What's better than making fabulous vintage inspired garments and accessories? Making them with the support of kindred spirits!

Join us for our monthly Art Deco Society of Los Angeles Makers Group, drop-in online socials. They are open to all members. Even if you don’t have a project to share, drop in and get inspired.

We're calling these virtual meetups “Snugs.” They are an opportunity to visit with our talented members - to share our creativity and offer peer support in working through challenges with our projects.

Bring your favorite vintage sewing tool to share live on camera and/or a current project that you are working on. Or, maybe you have fabric and a pattern that you are about to start work on.

Are you stuck on a step in your sewing project and need some advice to get you back on track? Do you want an opinion on which view to choose on your pattern? Are you new to button holes and zippers and want some guidance? Peer support is the name of the game. However, you are welcome to sign up to watch and learn.

Our group moderator is Corrie Bree Wardlow who has made everything from Renaissance costumes to actual spacesuits. Corrie says, “I am a sewist and creator- I specialize in historical costuming and corsets, and I love to teach others the joys of sewing as well!”

This is a free virtual program on Zoom for members of ADSLA, but you must reserve a ticket. Your viewing link will come to you in the confirmation you get immediately after registering. Please save the email where you can find it to Zoom in on the day of the program. Only one ticket is necessary per household/device. These programs will not be recorded as they are interactive and require live participation.

Define “Snug!”

A "snug" in the 1920s was a small, private room or enclosed area in a pub, originating in the 19th century in Ireland and the UK. These spaces provided discretion for patrons who preferred not to be seen in the main pub area, such as women, clergy, or those who wanted a more private, quieter experience away from the bustling main bar. They often featured a small window or hatch for drinks to be served, allowing patrons to remain hidden from public view while still being able to drink.
