The weather in Iowa being what it is, we got grounded by less than favorable driving conditions. But hey, that’s why we have Zoom. We talked about all things holiday sewing, and showed off our holiday creations and other recent projects.
We got tons of inspiration from upcycler extraordinaire Mary Anne, who showed us her fabulously trimmed out garments and elaborate jewelry.
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
Did you know you could feed your fabric habit by selling your creations on Etsy? Carol showed us how.
Under Kay’s guidance, we paired up and took all the measurements one might need to make or alter patterns for perfect fit.
Judy Ramsey of House of Colour came to talk to us about colors. She showed us why wearing the right colors is important and explained how color analysis works.
We pulled out the stops on gorgeous place settings – from simple to fancy – and sipped three different teas to learn about the flavors.
