Re: Host a Sewing Party
Hey this is a great idea. Matter of fact I host a sewing party, known as "The Funny Farm Sew-In". We typically have the sew-in every few months or maybe every quarter. I invite my sewing friends, and non-sewing as well, we eat a wonderful dinner prepared by my husband and drink wine then go to the sewing studio & sew, knit, embroider and sew more until folks decide it is time to go home.

We take a brief break for dessert (everyone brings one dessert to get pass the husband at the front door) and get back to our sewing. Each session I try to plan a 'make-it & you take-it project sew we can do new techniques; but nothing formal; that would ruin our 'free nite out sewing'.
I encourage folks who have the room and time to do one of these and you will be surprised at the results. Of course take pics of your projects too.

Re: Book Giveaway: "Horrockses Fashions: Off-the-Peg Style in the '40s and '50s"

posted: 4:25 pm on November 23rdI just finished reading a book based on the roaring 1920's & the fashion is so flattering; this book makes me want to try out the fashions listed and attempt some of the techniques.
I am keeping my threads crossed that I win!

This was extremely helpful; I especially love the method used with the steam-a-seam to help with stabilization of the zipper before it goes in the seam. I have very flimsy fabric & this will make it much more easier to install the zipper.
