DESIGNER THREADS – November 16, 2011

At the October meeting our group came up with a couple of projects for the coming months. We are making chenille scarves to donate to the Boutique. We have a great range of colors and patterns in the flannel fabrics.

We also discussed making a big shirt….a long, roomy, color-blocked shirt to wear over an outfit or buttoned up as a tunic. To plan ahead here are the fabric requirements for this shirt:

44-45” fabric (for color-blocked shirt) -

    ½ yd. fabric #1 (front/back/pocket/pocket/button loops/sleeve tabs)

    5/8 yd fabric #2 (front/back/collar band)

    1 yd fabric #3 (front/back/front facing)

    1 yd fabric #4 (sleeves/pocket top)

**OR**

44-45” fabric (for one fabric) -

    3 ¼ yds of one fabric

**AND**

Eight - ¾” buttons

1 yd fusible interfacing

Thread

We’ll bring patterns and instructions. We’ll also have paper for everyone to trace their own patterns. If you have a big shirt pattern you would like to use or share, please bring that.

Remember “Fantasy Bras” are due at the March guild meeting. We can’t wait to see this display. We have chosen one particular type of hanger on which to display these bras. We have fourteen of these and can get more if needed.

Also there will be NO meeting in December since the holiday season keeps everyone hopping. Please come and visit with us in November.

Love to see you the 3^rd Wednesday of every month at 9:30 am.
