The Stitchery and Sewing Expo—fondly known as Sew Expo—is celebrating 40 years this year! This annual event is produced by Washington State University and held at the Washington State Fairgrounds in Puyallup, WA, near Tacoma. This year’s event is scheduled for February 29th to March 3rd. 

My guests today are Jenn Geise, Education Manager, and Brittany Labbe, Show Manager. We’ll talk about the history of the show, the classes—class offerings are changing a bit this year in response to attendee feedback—and other fun events that are offered as part of Expo. This event draws attendees from all over the country and is a great way to expand your sewing skills in a dynamic setting. My friend Tera and I attended Sew Expo for the first time last year and had a blast! We indulged ourselves in four days of learning, shopping, and socializing. This year, I’ll be back as a teacher.
