Our own Deb Cannon was the guest speaker. She loves to make handbags and shared her expertise with us. Where to find the best hardware, fabric choices, patterns. We loved seeing many of her creations up close as she passed them around. During show and share, many other members showed their handmade bags. It was a fun meeting, seeing all of these creations.
Our chapter’s annual elections plus time to share our holiday projects.
Rhonda Pierce from Schmetz Needles came to share her vast knowledge of sewing machine needles – the different needle tips and shapes and sizes, and when to use which.
We pulled out the stops on gorgeous place settings – from simple to fancy – and sipped three different teas to learn about the flavors.
Grounded by a storm, we met on Zoom to talk about all things holiday sewing.
Carolyn Chen introduced us to Subtraction Cutting, a method of cutting and removing fabric to create unusual shapes that lead to creative and wearable art.
We got tons of inspiration from upcycler extraordinaire Mary Anne, who showed us her fabulously trimmed out garments and elaborate jewelry.
