sewing shows 2011

So you have a couple days off to plan your new year. What sewing projects are you wanting to tackle? How much of the stash are you wanting to work through? Needing some classes to update your sewing skills?
Well, sharpen your pencil and put on some water for tea/coffee. Make yourself comfortable because the 2011 Victoria and Abbotsford sewing show brochures have just been released.

The ever popular Ron Collins has a new class on how to copy your favorite RTW pant/jean. If you have difficulty fitting yourself because you are not the perfect size 10 (who is?) Kathy Brown has a fit-yourself class. Kathryn Brenne, whose articles you may have read in Threads magazines, offers a bust cup fitting class as well as some sewing techniques information. Ce Podoluk will fill you in on some sewing and pressing techniques for fashion sewing. Know someone who will be requesting a strapless grad/wedding/evening gown? The very entertaining Patrice Godin returns with a class on corset fitting and making.

So much to learn and so little time! What will you sign up for?

  2. It is a dress called Ceylon from a new pattern line we carry, Colette patterns. One of the sales members in Vancouver made it for a friend. Thanks for the feedback!
