Classes, Anyone?


Well, maybe little kid undies aren’t quite what you are looking for in a class but I made these for my two year old grandsons and they are still wearing the same pair and they just turned five! Time to upsize 🙂 These were made in Art Gallery fabric from Treadle.

The undies class will be offered in November at Treadle. The goal is to learn skills for sewing knits whether with the serger or sewing machine. We also offer a knit pj’s class in December with the same goals in mind. At Treadle we also have a Fit Studio offering for four weeks in October and our usual Basic Sergery and Beyond class. We have one offering of Kids’ After School Sewing so call soon to get a spot. We are at Treadle most Tuesdays.

You can see our Treadle classes on this website under Classes or go to Treadle’s website and call them to register-651-698-9690.

At Joann we have the usual Learn to Sew series offered by Joann.com. A steady group of sewists meets on Thursday afternoons for Sew Social and we’ve added Sew Studio on Monday nights for those who want to sew in the evening. Serger Mastery is offered by Material Girls-we’ll take you wherever you are in your skills-threading, rolled hem, coverstitch or construction. This class meets this Thursday morning and will be offered each month. We offer Kids’ After School Sewing on Thursday afternoons.

Joann also has some seasonal classes-sewing with denim, velvet, faux fur and mending, which we will be teaching.

We are at Joann most Mondays and Thursdays. You can register for Material Girls classes on this website or Joann classes at Joann.com.

Happy Sewing!!

PS-in case you can’t wait to make the undies, they are Children’s Undies by thatdarnkat.com available from youcanmakethis.com easy to download and pattern pieces are on one page-hardly any taping 🙂

Power color

One easy way to look vibrant and healthy is wearing the color teal (blue-green). It’s a magical color that is universally flattering on all skin types.

As we learn in art class, colors opposite each other on the color wheel are called complementary colors. When placing complementary colors together, each color looks brighter and naturally good together.

Skin coloring, can be applied to the color wheel too. As you can see, it falls into the red-orange family. Now, if you look directly across the color wheel. What color do you see?…VOILA!…It’s teal! Teal is a complimentary color of red-orange. And since virtually all skin types are in the red-orange family, teal is incredibly flattering to wear.

The other magical property of teal is its flattering range in color value and intensity. It’s hard to find a variation of teal that doesn’t look good on people. To illustrate this point, I took the same teal fabric and draped it on four different people. Each of us has unique coloring (warm, cool, and neutral) and you can see the same shade of teal looks great on all of us. (**This works for people of color as well as caucasian skin tone**)

Since Kristin was absent during our photo shoot. Here is a photo of her wearing a different shade of teal. Doesn’t she look great?

Next time you grab something to wear, grab a little teal. It’s a magical color.

Thanks for stopping by!
