June Sew-phisti-cuts Meeting

The June Sew-phisti-cuts meeting was one of sharing.  Various small projects that members have made (either recently or in the past) were presented as options for this year's community service project.  We plan to work on items of our own choice at home and will consolidate them together later in the year for distribution to local family shelters.  The focus will be on items that would be appreciated at the holiday time by female clients.  

From top, clockwise:  zippy bags, shoulder bag, snap bags, chiffon and keyhole scarves, mini-zippy bags in different shapes, knit or crocheted cowl neck wraps, fleece hat, mini-purses
Peggy Norton is collecting the directions for as many of these items as are possible.  She will supply them upon request as they are available.

Show & Tell

  
Peggy made herself a white t-shirt and decided to decorate it with some self-covered buttons.  She "fussy cut" the button covers from interesting Asian-style prints and varied the button sizes for additional interest.  Great idea!



Peggy's paper-pieced cat blocks

Maura had always wanted to make a purse with the metal frame and closure.   She recently found this cute pattern in a kit and decided to try it out.  Success! and not hard too do at all.

These are Pat's most recent purses.  This style could also be used for our community service project selections.



Connie recently finished this Judy Niemeyer quilt top
