Busy Sewing

With the first Club meetings starting next week, all three of us have been busily sewing away. It’s a nail biting process but hopefully all of us are enjoying the beautiful Labor Day weekend. A few things have been added to the site-Bios Page, Debbie’s Classes, another meeting for Club at Associated in St. Paul and a few new websites to visit (see Blogroll).
Hope all of you are working on a Show and Tell project. See you in the upcoming two weeks.

MN Fashion Week, Anybody Been There?

Thanks to Laurie’s comment about MN Fashion Week I went looking for more info.  MN Fashion Week is September 21-September 27.  The website has the complete schedule.  It looks a bit barebones (the appearance of the calendar) but if you click on the event you get all you need to know.  What I can’t tell you is what the events are like.  I’ve never been.  It looks like fun but my biggest question is-who goes?  Is everyone between the ages of 18 and 30 and skinny as a toothpick?  I’m guessing not but I’d go with more confidence if someone out there could reassure me.  The pictures I found were all of the models-no confidence there:)  So please, leave a comment and inform the uninformed-me!

Sewing and Quilting Expo on the Calendar

It had been at the back of my mind as a way to publicize Fashion Sewing Club and then this morning in my email, there was the catalog for the 2009 Sewing and Quilting Expo.  Dates are November 4-7.  I scrolled through the classes and noticed that Peggy Sagers will be at the event.  She’ll be offering a class on her SWAP (Sewing With a Plan) idea among others.  The event is at the Minneapolis Convention Center (guess they didn’t hear all the complaints-BUT they’ve added a coach service from the Hancock stores in Minnetonka, Bloomington, Woodbury and Coon Rapids.  It looks like it’s $15 each day.   Hope to see you there.
