We have some cool classes planned for you this month! How about a new sundress for those hot summer nights? Whip one up using the shirred elastic technique–hardly any fitting is needed, and they are really comfortable, too! And this means no zipper – wow, can it be any easier?
Did you buy dozens of patterns recently on sale? Put them to use and take the Skirt Workshop, your choice of pattern we will guide you through each step – starting with choosing the correct size pattern all the way to the hem. See how fun it is to sew in a group, share ideas and get inspired to try different techniques.
Also on the schedule is a stuffed animal workshop, toddlers applique bucket hat, alteration clinic, wrap skirt and a summer fabric necklace – we also have these fabulous necklaces for sale in the store if you need one for tonight! Available in prints and gorgeous burmese silk – the perfect accessory for summer!
Oh, and don’t miss our Pajama Party! July 22nd, make a pair of PJ’s and enjoy a deelish pizza with us – a fun time for sure!
Make some new sewing friends in our sewing clubs. Burdastyle, Church of Craft and Stitch by Hand. All clubs are free.

We also offer crochet classes , which include Beginning Crochet, Shell Stitch Scarf (I saw one in a knit shop in NY-it was awesome!), Crochet Embellishments and Chain Addiction Necklace (you can see a sample of this around our necks, or at River Colors).
You’ve never been to an Expo like this one!! Talk about fabric, you’ll find some awesome fabrics here for sure, along with tons of other sewing goodies. We went last year, and drove right back the next day, too! It’s in Novi, Michigan , September 25th – 27th – and a quick 2-1/2 short hours away, in the Rock Financial Showplace, very impressive digs, too! Parking is very convenient.
Oh, and take something you made and be sure to have your photo taken at the Yes, I Made It Booth! Photos are posted on their website. We took totes that we made last year. They have lots of events during the Expo, too, like the Re-Construction Zone with the Threadbanger Duo ( I love them!), Passion for Fashion Sewing Challenge, The Sew Experience Cafe, oh, and lots of great classes, too.
So get your sewing friends together for a day trip! You won’t be disappointed-I promise! . Stop in the store for a brochure.
