October 2011

The next meeting of the Memphis Area Smocking Guild will be at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 11. We will meet for dinner at Holiday Ham in Germantown at 5:30 p.m.

Please bring your Wee Care Gowns! We have a big order to fill and need every gown out there!

If you have not started your Basic Yoke Dress for the Sew-Along, there is still time! Just let us know and we will help you get started.

Program 

We will be having a lesson on sleeve finishing and construction. Please bring your dress.

If you would like to sew along with the lesson, bring your machine. Bring scraps of fabric, piping and lace for practice pieces.

You can also bring a couple of cut-out sleeves in a small size to practice with. Or you can just sit, listen and take notes!

There is one more month this year that we need a refreshment volunteer! Please think about bringing treats in November.
