Don’t forget to join us for Church of Craft on it’s new day – the last Saturday of each month. This is a great time to find some inspiration for your next project. Bring in what your working on for some input or praise (everyone needs a cheerleader)!
See you tomorrow from 1 – 4pm!
Greetings from Michigan! Heidi and Megan will be visiting the American Sewing Expo in Novi, Michigan September 25th. Unfortunately, Stitch Cleveland will be closed but we’ll be back on Saturday for another action packed weekend of sewing and Church of Craft. Stop in, Church of Craft is open to all crafties on the last Saturday of each month from 1 – 4pm!
UPDATE: Well, we’re back from our wonderful day trip through sunny Michigan. What a great show! We traveled in a van so that we would have plenty of space for all of our purchases. We found some great things: habatoi silks in beautiful colors, batiks, houndstooth gazar silk, houndstooth corduroy (I must have been in a mood), and a few knits and bottomweights. We are so excited to begin sewing. On the way home we had a show and tell and tried to decide what to make first!
Today at Stitch Cleveland, the afternoon was spent draping a fabulous design by a young designer we are sure you will see a lot of in the future!
L has completed a croquis book this summer for ‘homework’ and has chosen five outfits to present in a portfolio! From the five, L and Megan have decided to make a few of their favorites. Well, L will do most of the work…
The first steps came today. Muslin was draped and pinned to shape the fitted top that will have boning, lining, and an inner support structure. L has thought out every detail with Megan’s help… thread color and topstitching, zipper application, and hand sewn details. We can’t wait to see the final products. Wait until you see the skirt that goes with this top!
This photo shows her work in progress. If you’re thinking…
“gee wiz… that looks great, I could never do that!”
… you are so wrong! L is 13 and came to Stitch Cleveland as a beginner sewer. She has been practicing and working hard on her own as well as with us in the shop.
Ready to start something fun like this? Stop in!
