July's Meeting, Photos, Etc.

Our program for July and the next several months is inspired by Barbara Meger's "Old Fashion Christmas Stocking" (See photo and link below. Thank you Barbara!)

Barbara Meger's "Old Fashion Christmas Stocking"
To learn more about Barbara, see more of her designs and creations go to Classic Creations.

Of course, our goal is for all of us to have this stocking completed by Christmas! No more UFO's. Can everyone say that with me? LOL! If you were not at July's meeting, you can start one at the August meeting. I believe there is plenty of time to start and complete the stocking.

As always, we needed to bring our own general sewing supplies, scissors, pins, etc.

Pleated Silk doupioni. Not the kind we use for makeing heirloom clothes (60" wide) but the kind found at Hancocks (45" wide). Maja Clayton had some on hand in several colors and will pleat it up in the right size. You have to email her and let her know what color you want and she will have it for you at the next meeting. The cost is $4.00. {Thank you Maja!}

You will also need metal threads for this project. I used DMC, b/c I liked the colors. Barbara recommends Kreinik metallic #12 for this project. You can order it through her site Classic Creations.

Happy smiling SAGA member & guests faces!

A big Thank You to Thimbles Heirloom Sewing Shoppe for allowing us to use your class space to meet!
