RT Rybak Sews With the Material Girls

Debbie and I were up early this morning with the possibility of a tv spot at The Linden Tree. The early spot fell through (breakfast at Turtle Bread was yummy) but the mayor showed up for his sewing lesson. He breezed through the class and ended up with a wrapped gift.
And to top it off Channel 5 showed up so we may get our name in the news at 5, 6 or 10 o’clock. Hopefully, we’ll get a few eager last minute sewers in the shop this morning (we’ll be here till 12:30.)

December Fashion Sewing Club Photos

Even though the weather wasn’t cooperative and it’s Christmas season, many of you found your way to the stores to see our “Lingerie, Loungewear and Sleepwear” offerings. We teased about baring all but the weather kept most of us from sewing or modeling anything too risque.

Here are the photos. We saw lots of great Christmas gifts-there are many lucky grandchildren out there. If you are still sewing (yeah, like mine’s all done-NOT) and want to share/do a little bragging, either send a picture to the email address or put it up on Facebook. There’s even a prize for the favorite picture sent in.

Sewing in Linden Hills

The Material Girls are expanding to the Linden Hills neighborhood! The Linden Tree is a great little shop right next to Turtle Bread and carries locally made handcrafts and fabric and customers that want to learn to sew. We are doing a make and take-kleenex holders-and meeting and greeting customers at their grand opening today (Saturday, Nov. 20) and Sunday.

We’ll start having classes and being available for private lessons and drop in help the first three Fridays in December. After December we’ll probably go to Thursdays.

Stop by and check it out! The Linden Tree-4404 Beard Av. S., Minneapolis, www.thelindentreeshop.com

November Fashion Sewing Club Photos

Another great month-here are most of the pictures. Weather messed us up on Saturday morning. We hope you have electricity and internet-it made for a quiet weekend for some.

For future cancellations it will be posted on the website and Facebook so you can check it out. Of course if your electricity is also out, that may not be an option. You can also call the store or my cell-952-201-3863. We apologize if anyone ventured out and we weren’t there.

Club sheets (lots more detail about the garments) are available under “Club Sheets” on the top bar of the website.

As always, Show and Tell makes our day-pictures are after Club garments. Keep on sewing!
