Next LME Library sewing class: 3/23/13

We’re winding down on our LME Library sewing classes—only 2 Saturdays left!  We finished our soup bowl potholder, and it was fun and easy!  Instructions are available online at: http://www.lmelibrary.org/attachments/article/108/soup%20bowl%20potholder.pdf

Join us for our 3/23/13 (Saturday) class from 10am-noon in the meeting room. Beauford is going to introduce us to paper piecing.  Here’s some information and a short video if you are unfamiliar with this technique.  Also if you want to make an infinity scarf, you will need to purchase your own fabric.  You will need 18”-20” of 60” fabric that is knit or chiffon (or some other scarf type fabric).  We do not have any knit fabrics in our fabric stash boxes.

We look forward to seeing everyone—don’t forget to sign up online or by calling the library at 385-4540.

Week 3 of the sewing program - March 16


There are still 3 sewing programs left, and we’ve already accomplished a lot! 

Last week, we customized a sewing cover or mat for our machines.  We also went over the basics of rotary cutting and practiced by making our own cuts.  At our next meeting, we will get to make the fabric bowls (which we didn’t get to last week).  Kits are already cut for the bowls but don’t forget your sewing machine, thread, and scissors!  Other sewing projects we are interested in making are mitered napkins and infinity scarves.  The infinity scarf project will require you to purchase your own fabric.  You will need 18”-20” of 60” fabric that is knit or chiffon (or some other scarf type fabric).  We do not have any knit fabrics in our fabric stash boxes.

Join us on March 16th at 10am-noon in the LME Library’s meeting room for more fun and practice!  We look forward to seeing everyone—don’t forget to sign up online or by calling the library at 385-4540
