August 2024 – Helios Stitches & Stuff

We celebrated our chapter’s birthday by – what else? – shopping for fabulous fabrics and finding new inspiration in fabric stores in our area.

Our member Laura taught us all about knits. She showed us videos of how specific types of knits are made, discussed how best to use each kind of knit, and even let us pet a bunch of knits from her stash. Show & Tell

In the sunny heat of the summer, what better to wear than linen? Without any local sources, where do you go? And how do you know what you’re getting?

Our president Tamra tells us all about the fun she had at the ASG national conference a few months ago – classes she took, fabric she bought, all the deets.

Diane McCauley came to teach us how to make buttons out of polymer clay. Because what’s better than a hand-made garment? One with hand-made buttons to match.

Have you seen those gorgeous rope bowls and wondered how they’re made? We did too, but now we know because Sarah showed us.
