Celebrate Hawaiian Textiles

This isn’t your ordinary textile retreat! Celebrate Hawaiian Textiles, held by Sew & Sew Retreats, March 4 – 16, 2025, will explore two islands by experiencing the culture, taking time to relax and enjoy sun-filled moments, AND participating in multiple textile workshops!
We start in Honolulu, Oahu where we will learn a bit about the culture, shop hop for fabric and take a two-day Hawaiian Quilting class with Poakalani & Co. Then we will go to the big island of Hawaii, staying in Kailua Kona. We’re staying at 4-star resorts with easy access to the ocean, restaurants and shopping. We will explore, enjoy our time in paradise and have a four-day quilting class with Jane Sassaman – Abstracting from Nature, and a sashiko and applique’ workshop with the local quilt shop – Quilt Passions.
Sew & Sew Retreats are purposeful getaways that are aimed at rescuing you from your everyday routine and whisking you off to an exceptional location to bask in the happiness you’ll find in experiencing the culture and creating with textiles.
