Get Back to Basics with Sew Fun in August

Back to School? Let’s get back to basics. Have you ever wanted to sew your own clothes, ensure the clothes you sew have the right fit, or just make a gorgeous pillow for the couch? Have you thought of sharing your passion for sewing with a young person in your life, but just didn’t know where to start? The Complete Photo Guide to Sewing is a great resource for basic sewing techniques as well as the information you need to do some of the things that may intimidate you like pattern fitting, zippers, bound buttonholes, or custom tailoring. We’ll also show you techniques for home decorating and how you can incorporate your serger into these projects. Quilt-O-Grams explores your creativity on a small scale. Make a complete quilt in an afternoon that you fit in an envelope. Satisfy your need to try something new without the commitment of a large project. Share your art with family & friends in the form of a card they will keep & cherish.

Sew Fun = Sew Stylish Jackets in June

Nothing sparks admiration like a beautiful, custom-made jacket.  This month in Sew Fun, you will learn how to take an ordinary sweatshirt and turn it into a stylish jacket.  In Nancie M Wiseman's latest book, Start with a Sweatshirt, Sew a Stylish Jacket you will be inspired to add couture style to an ordinary sweatshirt by combining your favorite palate of fabrics.  These jackets are easy to make. The illustrations and instructions will guide you through the process.  Once you complete your style of jacket, embellish it with dimensional flowers made from coordinating fabrics.  Learn to create new and exciting flowers using "old-fashioned" methods including prairie points and various ruching techniques. Use the flowers to embellish quilts, wearable art or make a decorative pin for clothing or accessories.  Add embroidered buttons and your creation is complete!

Remember, you do not need to register in advance!  Come and join the fun!
