Stitch & Bitch, Austin's no-pressure open studio night
Stitch & Bitch is our weekly open studio night in East Austin, hosted by Jillian every Tuesday from 6 to 9pm. Work on something, don't work on something. Just show up.
What is Stitch & Bitch?
Stitch & Bitch is a weekly open studio night at The Glitz Society, 1405 Chestnut Ave. Every Tuesday from 6 to 9pm the doors are open to anyone who wants to make things next to other people. There's no class, no teacher at the front and no finished piece required. It's company, a big table and a room full of sparkle.
How it works
The night works because it asks almost nothing of you:
- Bring a project: knitting, embroidery, a costume repair, a sketchbook, your kid's Halloween disaster.
- Or bring nothing: sit, chat, watch, borrow an idea.
- Come late, leave early: drop in whenever between 6 and 9.
- Leave the ego at the door: beginners and lifers sit at the same table.
Jillian hosts. She's a new mama, so expect the energy of someone who has fully stopped caring whether the house is tidy and fully started caring whether you're having a good time.
