Welcome 2nd season of the Ottawa Garment Guild! We are thrilled to be starting our first full season of the Ottawa Garment Guild. Last year's short season was so well received, that we were left in awe of our community of sewists. We can't wait to see you all at our first meeting Thursday September 13th at 7:30 at St. Mark's Anglican Church on Fisher Ave. Meetings will continue to be held on the second Thursday of every month, from September through June. Membership dues are payable at our 1st meeting. This year we are also offering a discount to students (please provide us with proof of registration, such as a current timetable.) Full membership $50 Student membership $30 Drop ins are always welcome to join us for $10 a meeting.

Thank You!!

I want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who attended our first season of meetings.  Your enthusiasm for the OGG has been so wonderful.  I was not at all expecting the response we got - we finished the year with 50 members!!  Amazing!  I also want to say a huge thank-you to Crystal, Kate, Gemini, Vicki, Sam, and Beth for being the best first executive team I could have asked for.  You've all been a treat to work with, and there is no way I could have gotten this Guild off the ground without you.  Looking forward to working with you all in planning next year <3

Hope you all enjoy your summer!  We'll start up the next season of OGG meetings in September on the second Thursday of every month, with our first meeting being on September 13th.

We're looking for pattern reviews!

Are you planning on tackling some new patterns over the summer? Would you be interested in writing a review for our blog? We are looking for sewists of all levels to give feedback on patterns they are trying for the first time. All it entails is filling out a form and taking some pictures. If you are interested, you can view the template via google drive, make a copy, fill it out, and send it back to us! Don't worry if you don't consider yourself a "blogger" or a "writer" - your insight is valuable and we are here to make your writing its best! If you want more info, send us an email.

Otherwise, start sewing and reviewing!
