February 2012

February is National Smocking Month!

Please join us at our next meeting at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 14. We will meet casually for dinner at 5:30 p.m. at Holiday Ham in Germantown.

The program for Tuesday night will be a continuation of working on our basic yoke dress. We need to begin moving towards completion. We are going to discuss piping and the placement of it on your dress as well as buttonholes. You will need to have either made your piping or purchased your piping if you are uncertain how to make it. A variety of pipings are available at Lace Cottage as well as mini-cording to make it. Please bring your dresses with you as well. Next month Rose from Lace Cottage will be showing us how to make a perfect collar!

If you have not already paid your dues, both local and National, please note they are now due. Remember that National dues must be paid online at the SAGA website.

Please continue working on your Wee-Care gowns and remember to return them at the meeting.
