After a brief hiatus (no meeting in December), the Sewphisticuts met in January at the Eveready Diner in Hyde Park to do a little socializing and planning. Although not everyone could make it that night, some good ideas were generated. That discussion continued at the February meeting this past week with the group deciding on the following schedule:
March - crochet as a way to join fabric
April - Play time: bring your machine to practice or try a new technique
May - T-shirt quilt making
June - sachet/sinus masks
July - community service sewing: Days For Girls items
The program at this month's meeting was about favorite sewing blogs and websites. Members listed their favorite go-to sites for information, inspiration, and shopping. The resulting collection contained a nice mix of sites from commercial (i.e. shopping) to personal blogs. Some contain free patterns, while others are more for inspiration (Pinterest, Instagram). After the list is updated, Peggy will email it out to the group so that everyone will have the clickable links available to them.
And of course, there was Show-and-Tell:
