The Lehigh Valley Couturiere Society is a non-profit organization that has been active in the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton area of Pennsylvania for more than 40 years. Our organization is comprised of about 100 individuals who share a passion for textiles, sewing and needle arts.  A love of sewing and fashion is the connection between our members. Our members inspire each other and are in turn inspired by the creations of their peers.

 

An inspirational and informative sewing related program is presented at each monthly meeting. These programs may feature local or national sewing personalities or workshops given by a member who is highly skilled in a particular aspect of the sewing arts.

 

In addition, our monthly meetings offer an opportunity to trade patterns, fabrics & notions, borrow books & videos from our lending library, learn sewing tips, gain inspiration from the creations of other members, and discover workshops on a myriad of needle arts topics being given by our members for free!

 

The highlight of the Society’s year is our annual Scholarship Fashion Show, held each April.  Every garment modeled in the show is made by our members, and all the proceeds from the Fashion Show provide college scholarships for students who are pursuing careers in fashion or textile design. To date we have awarded over $100,000 to deserving local students.

 

Our members range from sewing beginners to those who win national competitions with their garments. We do have openings for membership available.
