Imagine this: Soft music, cozy lighting, a table full of stitchers laughing, sipping wine, and sharing projects in progress.
Welcome to Sip & Stitch, one of Nook & Needle’s most-loved community events.
Whether you're a seasoned stitcher or totally new to the craft, this is the perfect way to unwind, meet like-minded makers, and work on something creative in a low-pressure, welcoming environment.
If you’ve been curious but unsure about attending—here’s a peek inside what makes these events so special.
What Is a “Sip & Stitch,” Anyway?
It’s exactly what it sounds like: a relaxed gathering where we stitch, sip, and socialize.
You bring a project (or grab one in-store), we provide the space, the vibes, and sometimes even wine or themed snacks. No pressure, no instruction (unless you ask!), and no expectations other than having a good time.
Some events are BYOB, some include a featured drink or tea pairing—check the event listing for details!
Do I Need to Be an Expert?
Not at all. Our events are open to all skill levels—from absolute beginners to advanced stitchers.
We often have people working on:
Cross-stitch projects
Embroidery
Knitting or crochet
Hand-sewing or quilting blocks
Not sure what to bring? We’ll help you pick something from our shelves that’s perfect for your level.
What Should I Bring?
Here's a quick checklist:
✅ Your current project (or come early to shop one)
✅ Your favorite beverage (if it's a BYO night)
✅ A friend—or come solo and meet new ones
✅ A sense of humor and a willingness to unwind
We provide seating, lighting, scissors, and community—you just bring the stitching magic.
