Farm to Table: A Summer Sewing Retreat

Escape the ordinary sewing class and immerse yourself in a one-of-a-kind retreat designed to inspire, connect, and create. Farm to Table isn’t just for lingerie makers—it’s an inclusive gathering for sewists of all backgrounds and skill levels. Whether you’re passionate about fashion, quilting, or lingerie, this retreat is an opportunity to expand your skills, spark new ideas, and build lasting friendships (because sewing friends are the best friends).

Beyond sewing, you’ll experience the quaint city of Chestertown Maryland, and take part in unforgettable moments that bring your love for sewing to life.

Come for the sewing, stay for the experience.

LOCATION

A quiet, peaceful cabin on the water in Chestertown, Maryland. Lunch will be served on the porch (weather permitting) and will include locally grown and produced ingredients as well as local wine.

PROJECT

Students will work on their own sewing projects. To make the most of your time and workspace, we strongly recommend pre-cutting your fabric before the retreat, as space is limited. This will ensure you can dive right into sewing and enjoy a smooth, productive, and inspiring retreat.

COST

The cost of the retreat includes lodging and lunch and dinner (except when dining out). Students are responsible for their own travel expenses as well as any fabric and supplies needed for their projects.

SUPPLIES

Since the retreat will be held at a private residence, students are required to bring their own sewing machines and essential supplies, such as scissors, pins, and other tools needed for their projects.

REFUNDS

Refunds are not available. If you are unable to attend, I suggest selling your ticket on Instagram or Twitter using the hashtag #bramakingwithmadalynne

PREREQUISITE

Advanced sewing knowledge is required. Madalynne reserves the right to refund registration if a student’s skill level is below advanced.
