July Meeting Sewing Project
Get ready for the next project.
We will work on this super cute pleated clutch at our next meeting. Our next meeting is on July 21st at 7pm. Contact Karen, the leader of the Milwaukee Sewing Club, to join the club and get a list of materials needed to make this project.
First Meeting
The Milwaukee Sewing Club had it’s first meeting tonight. We came together to have a little show and tell and to discuss what we’d like to do with the club. We have several people in the club and each brings something different. Some are new to BurdaStyle and some are veterans. We took a little time at the beginning of the meeting just going over some of the basics on the BurdaStyle site. We discussed Nikkishell’s Sew Alongs and thought it would be fun to do something along those lines within our club. We also talked about different places to purchase fabric.
Some thoughts for future club projects included sewing quilts for an international adoption agency (Sue), dresses for women’s shelters (Sue), Baby kimonos for local hospitals (Denise). In the end, we settled on sewing a handbag. Information about the project will be sent out later this week to the club members so everyone can gather their fabric and notions.
