The "Sew What?" group of the American Sewing Guild met at G-Street Fabrics for our May meeting. Alisa gave us a TERRIFIC demonstration about diagnosing and resolving fitting challenges and Micki shared with us her latest "fair-worthy" garments that she has entered, or will likely enter, in the Montgomery County Fair! The meeting was jam-packed with expert advice and creative inspiration! Thanks to everyone for making the meeting a success! See you next week for our June meeting (Sunday June 24th at 2:30 at G-Street Fabrics) when we will learn how to copy ready-to-wear garments!

"Please Sir, I want some more (fabric)"

So, I never thought that I would EVER be an advocate for on-line fabric shopping, especially after the long conversation I had with Mr. Chadick (Rosen and Chadick's in NYC) who said, to my complete horror, that, "These types of stores will be non-existent in 15 years - even in New York City!" PANIC! Rosen and Chadick, Mood Fabrics, Metro Textiles, etc. are like the old G-Street Fabric store (for those Washington DC denizens) when it was housed in a seven story building in downtown DC on G Street! Ah, the good ole days!! Alas, even in its modern day setting, the thought of losing G-Street is paralyzing!


Soooooo, this is my weekend to take the plunge and actually order my first bundle of cyber-fabric! I will, of course, have to immediately go to G-Street and spend an equal amount of money there! Oh what a burden!!!!
Anyway, hop in your car and drive to you nearest fabric store and/or log onto your favorite site - but just keep buying that fabulous fabric!!
Have fun!

I'm dreamin' of a tropical vacation – Aloha!
I received my tea towel swap package today! I love love love it! Lynn made me a perfect pre-summer tea towel – Hula girls, palm trees, and hibiscus! She crafted a terrific towel with a great cotton print and then hand embroidered a WONDERFUL hula girl on the back! Even the reverse is exquisite! Thanks so much Lynn! I hope you are on that cruise to a tropical island right now!
Best,
Laura
