UPDATE: Due to a fabulously positive response, we have filled our registration slots for the upcoming sewing lounge this Saturday, September 12th. If you have not already registered, we hope you will join us for the next lounge in October. You can reserve your slot using our new registration page here. Thanks so much for your interest! REMINDER---if you are a member of the American Sewing Guild or would like to volunteer at the Lounge your registration request will be automatically honored.
Join us this Saturday, September 12 from 1-4 at North Michigan Park Recreation Center, for the DC Threads Sewing Lounge! We will welcome the glorious Fall with a fabulous back-to-school/campus project - a hand-designed and crafted laptop sleeve - thanks to Ars Technica!
Here's what you need:
- 1/2 yard (or so) of outer sleeve fabric
- 1/2 yard of lining fabric
- Thread (preferably in a matching or complementary color, but it can be any color you want)
- Your laptop measurements
Optional:
- Sew-on or glue/iron-on velcro, or a button
As always, you can bring your own project or browse our library of patterns for other ideas. We’ll also have tutorials for first-time and beginning sewers and plenty of opportunities for you meet others who love to sew. Check out our pattern library here....
And, in response to your requests for tutorials about sewing techniques (see, we really do read and value the evaluations you graciously complete!), we will offer a 20-30 minute tutorial about how to read a sewing pattern. The tutorial will start promptly at 1:15 - leaving you loads of time for sewing!
Hope to see you there!
Laura and Allison

Hello all. This is a much-needed tutorial for me! But I'll probably arrive after it. I enjoyed the one Helen did earlier this year. See you soon!
