July at Pennie Fabrics
Emma Seabrooke's Twisted Wrap class is coming to Pennie Fabrics. You'll learn how the SewkeysE stay tapes work on casual to couture knits as you create you own elegant, made-to-measure wrap. Linda Roberts, one of our chapter members, will be presenting the class.
Dates:
Tuesday, July 16: 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Tuesday, July 25: 10:00 am - 1:00
pm
Tuesday, July 30: 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Cost:
$60 due at registration. Includes everything necessary to create the wrap, including the pattern, fabric (a wonderful black jacquard knit by Worth), and stay
tapes. You
will also receive a 15% discount off your next fabric purchase to make another twisted wrap in a fabric of your choice.
Supplies:
Please bring your own basic sewing supplies (eg. pins, needles, scissors or rotary cutter, marking tools and chalk, black thread, etc.). Students are welcome to bring their own sewing
machine or use one at the shop. A walking foot attachment is very useful. Please share your machine preference at time of registration.

What is an NG? Its a Neighborhood Group!
We are real people meeting in real buildings to sew real things. And we have a blast. So take a moment to step away from the world of virtual reality and mosey on down to your nearest NG. Better yet, bring a friend with you!
