Zippers, Darts and Pleats - Oh My!
They go bump in the night - those pesky little tasks that make beginning crafters break out into a cold sweat. When I talk with many of our students, I am surprised to hear that they are scared of sewing zippers, pleats and darts!
Don’t be scared sewing newbies! Just like anything else in sewing these three items require a little bit of know how, but are not in any way out of your reach. That’s why the June Pattern-O-Rama class is The Betsy Ross Girlie Dress (formerly known as the simple dress because, well, it’s simple!).
This pattern has pleats, darts and a lapped zipper (whaaa?) plus it’s a very cute, wearable dress for Houston’s balmy summer. And the pattern is included in the class price - no having to order it or buy it from a retail shop - it’s there for you when you sign up and you get to take it home! YAY!
Check out the schedule to sign up!

PS: Did you see Threadheads last week? They made an awesome shrug using an old turtleneck and a serger…

Gocco!
Hey hey crafty peeps!
So I have a bit of an obsession lately – Gocco! Gocco is this really awesome form of Japanese printing that is simple, fun and helps you create unique cards, stationery and gifts. It prints on both paper and cloth, so you can even use it to embellish T-shirts and tote bags.
I love it! And I think you will too – check out our class schedule for our next Gocco class!
Have a great day and don’t forget to get crafty!
