Sew what...?

[Marietta Graziella]

FEBRUARY 28TH
8:00AM until we can't see our needles anymore
BYOB-but keep this amount small-we're supposed to be working 
Potluck-menu to be firmed up later
PLEASE RSVP so I know how many to expect, and if you are staying over night

Alright every body, let's shake off these cold weather blues and start thinking...

FEST SEASON!!

Can I get a HUZZAH!

Let's get our first of the year Stitch and B*tch set up and sewing.  Sew many clothes, sew little time. 

Pick a weekend in February
My house
Bring your fabric, machine, etc
BYOB
Pot luck food
Sleep over available
No kids (except the ones that live here and I *hope* to ship them off for this)

There is enough room to have several things going so bring on your big projects!

WHO'S IN?

Dan and I could come for a bit on a Saturday afternoon of the 7th or 21st.  Obviously we would not be staying over as I have to be at work bright and early on Sunday mornings, but we would love to hang out (and I would love to sew) during the day on a Saturday with all of you.
We miss you all now that we live "in the south" and don't get to play very often.

Sounds fun.  I love to work for a few hours.  I hate to leave the kids with a sitter the whole day or over night but a few hours would be fun to get something done.

End of Feb. would work better for Nyte and I....21st or 28th?

[Lady_Lily]

...aww...I've got a cloak to make for next year...but unfortunately, every Saturday/Sunday/ and almost all Friday's are already taken. Hope you guys accomplish a ton!!

[Synnovea]

Sorry I missed yer call earlier MG.  I gots some sewin ta do...would be up for this hopefully.

[Random Girl]

The 21st would be best for me!

[Marietta Graziella]

Sounds like things are filling up quickly.

THe 21st is absolutely out.  It's the weekend The Gang is doing our quarterly birthday party.  (You all met them last year at fest and at some of the parties.)

Can we pull this together in time for the 7th? 
Do we want to do it twice and try for the 28th, as well?


I'm totally in sewing mode.  Went to JoAnn's yesterday and bought 24 yards of yummy stuff.  Of course it's all wools and corduroys-I was cold.     Had a bit of sticker shock when she said the total.  Yikes!

[Goody]

I hate to put this in writing as it's a lil embarrassing but on the 7th I'll be at the Bret Michael's concert so that's out for me but I'll be in MPLS to babysit on the 28th so that would work for me to attend Sat afternoon into the evening. Not sure what I'd sew although I could certainly use some opinions on patterns and fabrics that I have.

[Ren Jen]

Sleepy and I will be in Vegas for the 7th but you go ahead if you can get enough people together to have some fun.  I just looked and it's 50 there right now.  I hope it gets warmer before we get there.

[gracefulcarrie]

Dan and I can't do the 28th as it will be the only time in the month of February that we have Hannah overnight. Plus we don't want to mess up anyone else's fun by bringing along the little one.  But I say if more people can make it on the 28th then do it by all means.  There will be other times to hang out in the future.  And I can (sometimes) do a good deal of sewing down here as there isn't much else to do but work.

[Marietta Graziella]

I'm sorry you won't be able to make it, Carrie.  I was thinking about you yesterday while I was buying wools at JoAnn's.  I was thinking about your dress made of the super soft but also warm fabric.     Is that silly?   

[Muffin]

I am thinking the 28th would work better for me, as the next two weeks will be crazy getting ready for AZ!!! Yay!!!

Don't have any projects started at the moment, but I'm sure I can come up with something!!

Not silly at all MG... I love that fabric... it was wool/cashmere blend, and its still my favorite fabric ever.  Now if only I could find the time to make the little adjustments to the dress so that it fit better.

Got this from one of the local E-lists I'm on


   

We've reduced ALL our wools and corduroys by 30% because let's face it,
   the cold isn't leaving anytime soon.  Come to Treadle and find the
   perfect fabric to keep you cozy and warm until the thaw comes.  It will
   come, won't it?
