Going to the Sewing Expo



Tomorrow, I will be heading to the Original Sewing & Quilt Expo after work. I have signed up for a pants fitting class tomorrow evening and two other classes for Friday (Lining Alternatives) and Saturday (Industrial Shortcuts). It will be a great time for me to be surrounded by fellow sewists and to share and learn new sewing techniques. I'm hoping my sewing mojo will graciously reappear within the next few days.

I do plan on taking a knitting project with me and knit when I have a chance. As you know, knitting has become my main focus this year and it's very portable. I'm currently knitting a cute cardi called Alpine.

Alpine by Berroco Design


Here's what the back of my cardi looks like so far. This yarn is fabulous to knit with.

I recently finished a sweater called My Lil Black Sweater:

Sirdar Denim Chunky in Vintage color


I'm still busy with my hobbies and have enjoyed reading about hand knit fashions. Just as I did in the sewing world, I dream about garments (sweaters & cardigans) and fibers.

I love the sweater! I just pulled out my knitting...had to dust off the bag and remember what the heck I was doing...hopefully I will get my mojo back.

have fun at the expo. And thanks for the comment about teaching sewing--I am happy to do it and hope to get more students!
