July 17 - Saturday - 1-4pm - Pants Fitting Workshop - Carol Coleman will come to conduct a pants fitting workshop. You may remember Carol from when she came last October to give us the Silhouette Patterns trunk show. We will need a minimum of 10 members sign up for the event (maximum of 20, first come first serve, so don't delay). The cost per person will be $25 plus $14 for the pattern. Prior to the class, you will need to make a muslin from Silhouette Pattern 3200 Sally's Pant or 3600 Ralph's Pant. You can see the two patterns at www.silhouettepatterns.com. If you are interested in attending this course, please email president@asgcolumbusoh.com to show your interest and fill out the reservation form and remit with payment to the address on the form. More information will be provided when you sign up for the seminar. This class will be held at All Saints Lutheran Church, 6770 North High St, Worthington.
Coming up
August- There will not be a Columbus chapter ASG meeting. National Conference is August 6-8 in Atlanta, GA. Consider attending this exciting event where nationally known teachers and hundreds and hundreds of seamstresses are there to learn and inspire. There are several members of the Columbus Chapter already registered (registration is open at http://www.asg.org/html/conference.html ). If you are planning on going, there are plans in the works for a van load going from Columbus. Also we can help arrange roommates with your local chapter members. Contact president@asgcolumbusoh.com if you are planning to attend and would be interested in transport.
