Sewing, Fashion Design Meet-Up

[keemao.livejournal.com]

Is anyone interested in getting together for some sewing sessions? I just ordered a skirt making book on Amazon that I'd be happy to share. I'm dying to try out some of the designs. I'm a relative beginner (I took the Intensive Sewing classes from Sparks Crafts earlier this year) but my love of fashion will hopefully make up for my lack of skills :) Oh, if you know of any sewing groups in the area, please let me know. Thanks!

I would be up for a sewing meetup! I've been wondering for a while if there was such a thing :)

I'm also a relative beginner, self-taught; I've made this bag (http://www.geocities.com/tankboy17/squirrel/) (from no pattern), a Beauxbatons costume (http://www.geocities.com/tankboy17/Beauxbatons/hat_wrap2_sm.jpg) by altering a pattern to have a collar and cuffs (using an old Reader's Digest Guide to Sewing for help) and improvising the wrap myself, and this pillow (http://www.geocities.com/tankboy17/unfinished-pillow.jpg) (which still needs to be sewn closed). However, I moved out of Davis Square, so I'm further away in Waltham now :(

I have a number of patterns which I have yet to try, including some for stretchy tshirt-y tops (and I already have various stretchy material for it).

What a cute bag!! The squirrel is adorable!

I'll wait another day or two to see who else responds. Then, perhaps organize a meet up next week. I'll keep everyone posted
