Nearby Sewing Events

I've just been notified by the Omaha Sewing Guild (see their link in our sidebar) that they will be hosting Linda MacPhee on September 19 & 20, for both a Hands-On Workshop and a Trunk Show. It sounds like great fun, and Linda has lots to show and teach. Some of her specialties are Slinky fabric sewing and patterns, and Coat sewing and patterns. Lots more details at the link above.

They have their programs, etc. listed on their site, as we do, so take a look and see if there's something interesting you'd like to attend. I'm sure we're welcome to visit, as they are to visit us. With sewing events few and far between, we need to take advantage of what's available near us.

They also do Charity Sewing, as do we, and we are invited to join them at their next charity sewing event. Here's the message from Beverly, President of the Omaha ASG Chapter:


Glad to see your group does charity sewing,too! The Omaha Sewing Guild has a special day in January for a whole group meeting. Join us January 23rd, 2010.


Sounds like fun, doesn't it?
