(June classes are listed at end of post)
We’ve sent our reminder emails and mentioned making a garment bag-
If you want to make a garment bag:
You’ll need to come to Fashion Sewing Club ☺
We won’t finish them all on one day. We were hoping to get patterns cut out and bias binding cut and demonstrated.
If you just want to watch/get directions and trace a pattern of your own, bring your favorite tracing paper.
We made ours out of oilcloth or laminated cotton/linen. It keeps things dry and out of the snow in winter. You may make yours out of any fabric desired.
Supplies needed:
Oilcloth or laminated cotton (Treadle has oilcloth and laminated cotton, choices at Joann are more limited)
From oilcloth you will need :
one rectangle 42”x24.5”
two rectangles 42”x12”
two rectangles 50”x 3”
Total yardage will vary depending on one way designs and width of fabric
One zipper 30-40” long-nice to have a stop at both ends but not mandatory-they can be hard to find-Sew Trendy has some but we can’t get them till next week
One half yard of cotton which will make 333” of continuous bias binding
A pocket is optional
Thread
For this month, you won’t need the zipper
Thursday Club we’ll stay till 8
Saturday we’ll stay till noonish
Tuesday we have a full class starting at 1

April Sew and Tell
Another great month of inspiration! Sometimes Debbie and I feel uninspired and then we have three meetings with wonderful garments and projects that spur us on to the next month. Thanks to all of you that attend-whether your project is big or small, simple or complicated-keep sewing and inspiring all of us!
Here are the pics-so many smiles!!
April Club Meetings Begin Saturday/March Photos
Fashion Sewing Club starts soon!
Saturday, April 8, 10:30 at Treadle Yard Goods
Tuesday, April 11, 10:30 at Treadle Yard Goods
Thursday, April 13, 6:30 at Joann
Depending on how closely you pay attention to details-you may notice that the Thursday date has changed-my bad. The 13th is the second Thursday and that’s when we’ll have Club at Joann. Sorry for any confusion!!
March Show and Tell did not disappoint-we hope you are enjoying your sewing for this month-or something else if sewing didn’t make it to your Done list. Either way, join us and see what’s up for spring.
April Classes are listed after photos.

Hats, Horses & High Tea
A Trunk Show and Fundraiser at Scarborough Fair Boutique
Saturday, March 18, 11 am – 4 pm
Hats, Horses & High Tea
The 3rd annual “Hats, Horse & High Tea” event will feature the handmade hats of Karen Morris, Monica Lyon, Candy Kuehn and other milliners from Minnesota. The hats being showcased are perfect for the Kentucky Derby, a polo match, Easter, or upcoming weddings or any another event befitting a show-stopping hat.
The featured milliners will offer demonstrations, and tea and other beverages, and cake and scones with clotted cream will be served.
Textile Center will be the beneficiary of the event; ten percent of all sales that day will be donated to Textile Center.

Got fabric? Spring cleaning? Need fabric? (OK, want?)
Textile Center’s Garage Sale is coming up-
DONATIONS ON APRIL 20 – PREVIEW SALE ON APRIL 21 – THE BIG SALE APRIL 22, 2017
Lots of us have been, donated and taken new goodies home with us 🙂
Pictures from Puyallup
A Material Girls roving reporter sent these pics from the Expo in Puyallup, Washington. Makes one want to sew for spring-and find an event to go to…
From Lavell-
Puyallup Sewing Show-
Fashion Show for Sew Chic Pattern Company titled: Style Me Vintage Fashion Show.
Fun to see these old-time fashions…
Cutting Line Fashion Show: Fashion Show for Ideas
Louise Cutting says: “Timeless and Modern. Isn’t that how we all want to look? See how one garment in a single pattern can take you in so many fashionable directions.”
Fun show. Great fabrics. Good fashion. They custom-sewed over 100 pieces for these four models (one of whom was 6’2″) in three months!
The rest of the show plus one funky new sewing clock for my sewing room…
Thanks so much, Lavell!!
Time for Club and more-
Last night kicked off February Fashion Sewing Club at Joann. Thanks for coming!
Saturday and Tuesday we’ll be at Treadle-both meeting at 10:30.
Hope to see more of you-
Here’s a bit of what we’ve been up to the past few weeks:
Happy stitching!
Holiday Break Sewing for Kids
Even though we’d love to spend the week between Christmas and New Year’s with your kids, we’ll be spending them with ours 🙂
But there are classes offered at Treadle Yard Goods that week if you’d like.
OR if you have Monday or Wednesday of next week off (Minneapolis and Bloomington to name a few school districts) we are offering classes at Joann Yorktown:
Monday, 1-4 pm and Wednesday, 10-1
Students can dream up their own projects or finish something they may have started or we will have a few ideas of our own. Cost is $35 for a three hour class.
You can sign up online at Joann’s. The class is called Kids’ Pillowcase just because it worked for their system. Or email us and you can pay on the day of the class.
Happy Holidays!!
Happy Halloween!
Just thought I’d share-
We are getting ready for Fashion Sewing Club next Tuesday and then the Sewing Expo next Thursday and Friday.
Hope the “smooth sewing” goblins are with you today if you are sewing.
This Week’s Sewing
Between MEA, After School Sewing at both Treadle and Joann and Sew Social, many projects made it to the finish line!
