Fashion Sewing Tour of NYC

New York City Fashion Sewing Tour
May 5 - 13, 2013
If you love to sew, love to have fun, would like to see the sights of the exciting fashion capitol of the country then read on:
The dates are set, the hotel is booked and we have already begun to plan the fashion sewing trip of a lifetime just for you!
Join other sewing enthusiasts as we tour NYC, visit designers' workrooms, costume makers, see a Broadway play, shop for fabrics, leathers, trims, buttons and sew much more....!
This tour took all the fears of visiting a big city away. With Marsha and Marla guiding us on to the correct subway or bus we visited the inner sanctums of designers, wholesale fabric houses, found little niche fabric shops. We cruised around Manhattan island and dined very well. I just wish I could have done this 40 years ago but I experienced it in this lifetime. Don't put this trip off!! Cherry Delaney
This was my first trip with American Sewing and it met all of my expectations and more. The mix of sewing, sightseeing and NY itself was wonderful. I would highly recommend it. The tour staff was well informed, friendly and more than willing to answer all of our questions. Great experience !! Joyce Fisher
I enjoyed this tour so much, I was expecting mostly shopping, but instead we got the bonus package. Marsha gave us a well rounded tour. Full of behind the scenes, fun filled days, that were inspirational, educational, interesting, and just plain fun. Her style of showing us around, taught us well, and even those of us most scared of the big city, felt comfortable enough to explore on our free time. I am already saving for next year, and I cannot recommend this trip enough. I highly recommend, to take a trip like this, at least once in your life. You won't regret it. Mickey Hudson
