In the enchanted realm of New Jersey, where the wild Atlantic waves dance with the sandy shores, and lofty skyscrapers reach out to tickle the clouds, there exists a tribe of extraordinary kiddos known as the Sew-Stitch Warriors. This merry band, armed with nothing but a needle and thread, embark on epic adventures of creativity, stitching together a kaleidoscope of colorful dreams. Meet the unassuming leader of the tribe, Sir Pincushion, a dashing knight with a round belly like a well-stuffed teddy bear. He's known far and wide for his uproarious laughter that could twitch the needles on a pine tree, and his magical, ever-flowing thread that never seems to end. Sir Pincushion, despite his endless humor, takes one thing seriously - his beloved craft. The Sew-Stitch Warriors come from every corner of the vibrant Garden State, from the bustling boardwalks of Seaside Heights to the tranquil cornfields of Sussex County. They are a diverse bunch; some are expert button sewers, while others prefer to weave wacky designs onto denim jackets. Laughter is their common language, and if you listen closely, you can hear their merriment echo throughout the state, like the sweetest melody. On grey, dreary days, when the sky is filled with grumbling clouds, and the Atlantic appears less dancey, more moody, the Sew-Stitch Warriors gather in a secret tree-house, nestled in the heart of a hidden forest. In this cosy sanctuary, they stitch and sew a symphony of colours and patterns, their laughter lighting up the grey canvas of the day. At the heart of it all, Sir Pincushion chuckles away, his belly bobbing in rhythm to the joyous cadence of the Sew-Stitch Warriors of New Jersey.

Nestled in 178 acres of lush woodland is a serene escape from the city, a place fondly known as Camp Swamp. This overnight Christian camp, located just two hours east of bustling Atlanta, has been serving as a peaceful retreat since 1992. We like to think of it as our own "little slice of heaven," offering a respite from the daily hustle and bustle, and inviting people to reconnect with nature and their spirituality. Our primary offering is a week-long summer camp, but we've expanded over the years to include more than just summer fun. As part of our mission to support families and churches, we now also host three family camps throughout the year, as well as four parent/child retreats. These events offer a chance for families to bond, parents to connect with their children, and individuals to grow in their faith. Moreover, our facilities are not exclusive to our organized events. Camp Swamp also offers rentals to schools, churches, universities, sports teams, and even business groups. Whether you're planning a camp, a retreat, or a team-building excursion, our serene setting and well-equipped facilities provide the ideal backdrop for an unforgettable experience.
Welcome to Old Spool Sewing! I'm Julia, the teacher and owner of this wonderful shop. I'm an alumnus of Parsons the New School of Design in New York City, where I earned a nomination for Designer of the Year during my thesis year. After working in the fashion industry, I became disillusioned with its wasteful practices and decided to pursue my passion for making and teaching instead. Here at Old Spool Sewing, I offer sewing classes for people of all ages and skill levels, from beginner to advanced. I'm excited to share my knowledge and help everyone create something unique and special with their own two hands. I can't wait to meet you and start creating!
