September 2011

The next meeting of the Memphis Area Smocking Guild will be  at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 13. We will meet for dinner at 5:30 p.m. at the Holiday Ham in Germantown.

September is National Sewing Month! I hope you are all busy celebrating by sewing all month long!

Program
Kittie will be giving the program on smocking. After the program, there will be individual help for everyone as you start smocking your yoke dress.
 


Cindy Foose has graciously given us permission to use her original smocking plate for our sew-along! This will be a wonderful choice for all, especially beginners. This design adapts to many color variations and many sizes. There will be teachers to help you use this plate on your skirt.

Supplies

Bring your yoke dress supplies and all notions needed to start smocking - floss, needles, embroidery scissors, etc.
