Each month So You… will host a Community Event in which all supplies will be donated by So You… and contributing partners.

We are always looking for fabric and trim, or sewing machine donations to support these events. If you would like to donate please call 845-659-6722 for the Sparkill events or 201-800-1931 for the Pompton Lakes events. You may also email info@soyoustudio.com to make arrangements to drop them off.

All are welcome at the So You… studio for the complete day – or as long as you can - of creating. If you know that your group will be attending a specific event, we recommend that you call and advise us of the number that will be attending. All items created are donated to local hospitals and people in need. Also if you have a cause worthy of our attention let us know and we will feature it in our calendar.
