Our Class at It's Sew Heavenly

Our wonderful group of Stitchers at It's Sew Heavenly.

Brenda is the Queen of everything  pretty and she had her Christmas decorations up for us to enjoy!


We did some serious and fun Heirloom Sewing.
The T-Yoke Dress or Gown (or Christening Gown) is the best class to get that confidence you need in Heirloom Sewing.


We learned how to join two fabrics together using lace.
As well as many other techniques.

And the students did a wonderful job!

Brenda and Lacie have already planned what their second Dress will look like. 
They are going with soft Blue Swiss Lawn.

The entire shop is lovely "Eye Candy" for the Heirloom Stitcher.

Beautiful garments hanging around to inspire you and delicious fabric crying out to be bought. 

This group knew each other so visiting  and chatting were always tempting but they were a hard working bunch too.

Button Frenzy!!
There was a limited supply of special Buttons for sale and everyone wanted them!!

They  shared. They divided the quantity between them all.
(One lady kept sewing, ignoring the Buttons entirely.  I told her I was surprised she wasn't interested and she said "I already told them to give me whatever  my friend is buying".  Ha Ha, she knows if her friend wants them, so does she)



Here is an example of the Baby Gown and Baby Dress. The pictured slip is from the pattern "Old Fashioned Baby Dresses" and the front was adapted to match the dress.  I made it for a magazine article several years ago.

Classes are Fun!

Ewa, You need to join a Saga Group. There is one on line, if none by you. Then come to the National Saga Convention in the Fall. You would have so much fun!
