sewing gurus coming to town (or close to town)

Tired of the traditional pant and jacket? Want to walk a little on the wild side? Spend a day (May 15, 2011) with Linda Lee, owner/designer of pattern company. Linda Lee is talented in the art of combining beautiful fabrics and distinctive design in garment creation. Her designs are flattering to every figure and lend themselves to creative interpretation and embellishment. Stopping in Vancouver at the Metropolitan Hotel, Linda Lee will showcase an all new trunk show followed by creative garment construction techniques as well as sewing on silk and specialty fabric pointers. For registration information, click on http://www.swpatterns.ca/SWPatterns/Events.html You have that special piece of fabric that you picked up on your travels and are uncertain on what/how to make. Sign up for the ultimate 3-day sewing retreat with Ron Collins in Victoria, June 2011. With Ron by your side, he will provide feedback on design choices and teach you some time saving techniques and fitting tips for professional looking results. Limited number of spaces available so sign up via the link below. http://sawyersewing.com/News2.htm An iconic fashion piece, the Chanel jacket has survived throughout all these years, appealing to all ages and tastes of the modern woman. From the late 30's to present day, it has been a classic fashion item that can be worn with a tweed skirt of ripped jeans with equal aplomb. In a 5-day workshop, hosted by Cecelia Podolak and Kathryn Brenne, learn the inside construction techniques and make your own Chanel style jacket. A Chanel RTW and an original Chanel couture jacket will be available for examination and study. The workshop will be held in Mission, BC August 21 - 26, 2011. For registration or more information, contact Cecelia directly at ce_podolak@telus.net
