SPRING SEW SAMPLER

ASG's SILVERDALE CHAPTER PRESENTS
ITS 2010 SPRING SEW SAMPLER
WITH CONNIE AMADEN-CRAWFORD
Saturday, April 10, 2010

First Lutheran Church, Poulsbo

Join us for a “special condensed version” of Connie's Fitting, Design, Patternmaking, and Sewing Seminar. Normally a two-day event, this seminar combines lecture and hands-on exercises to teach comprehensive, efficient techniques for garment design, fitting, and construction. Connie's goal is to unlock the mystery of fit, proportion, and balance in order to make your sewing experience successful, painless, and fun!

Connie is a licensed designer for Butterick Patterns; the owner of Fashion Patterns by Coni (www.fashionpatterns.com ); and a nationally recognized lecturer, fashion specialist, educator, and author of sewing and pattern textbooks. She has 35 years of experience in apparel manufacturing and spent 23 years teaching fashion-design classes in patternmaking,
sewing, and draping at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles. Both the Fall 2009 issue of Notions and the October/November 2009 issue of Knot Necessarily Sew feature extensive articles on Connie….the newest inductee into the ASG Sewing Hall of Fame!

Because she is a Silverdale Chapter member, Connie has graciously offered to waive her fee and make this event a Chapter fund-raiser! Please plan to join us for this fun-filled, informative day. Your fee includes pastries and coffee from 8:30 to 9:00 a.m., a catered lunch, and door prizes. Connie's patterns, books, and DVDs will also be available for sale.

2010 Sewing Guild Retreat
Registration for the 2010 Retreat (April 30- May 3, 2010) will be in the January edition of our chapter newsletter, Three or four days of uninterrupted sewing time, with no household chores, no spouses or children asking for help, and your meals are prepared without your doing anything and cleaned up after too! What could be better? Oh yeah, you get to do this with your best sewing buddies from the group! Sign up with a friend to share a room, or bring someone new who you’ve been wanting to get to know- or just come on your own and make new friends. There are always new techniques to learn and great ideas to share, and laughs and stories as well. Those of you who attended in 2009 saw the spacious new location in the Meeting House, so there’s sure to be a rush to sign up this year. Only 36 spaces are available, and that’s if everyone shares a room, so if you want your own we recommend you send in your form early. We look forward to seeing you there!

SEW EXPO ASG EVENT I hope that everyone has seen the announcement in the Fall 2008 issue of "Notions" for our annual After-Expo Banquet on Saturday, February 27, 2010 at the Best Western Park Plaza hotel in Puyallup, Washington. It's a dinner that the Greater Seattle Chapter has sponsored for many years. If anyone is planning to come to Sew Expo, we want to extend our invitation to them to attend our event. It's a fun way to get together with members (and non-members guests) from all over the country, and wonderful way to relax after a hard day of classes and shopping. The price for the evening is $45.00, for both members and non-members, which includes hors d'oeuvres, buffet dinner, dessert, coffee and tea. A no-host bar begins the evening at 6:00 p.m. and the event ends at 9:00 p.m. with door prizes.
We are so pleased that Linda MacPhee of MacPhee Workshop will be our speaker and I look forward to hearing how she began her career. I know that no matter how many classes I have taken with Linda, she is always informative and entertaining.
You may register by going to our website www.seattleasg.org,printing a form and sending it to me.
Please pass this on to all your members via your Yahoo list groups and neighborhood groups. I know Expo has something else planned on the same night, but hope you will attend our banquet.
Please note that this banquet is very popular and usually sells out. If you have any questions, please let me know.
