What’s in this Issue

Dear Sew from the Heart friends,

This newsletter schedule brings us into the new year.

It seems like yesterday, we all waited with great

anticipation for the new millennium and now, we

are past that and into a new decade! Sew from the

Heart is now into our 9th

year of business and thanks

to the support of all of you, we are still here, going

and growing! The Spring Training ball field opens

this spring, road repairs are hopefully behind us very

soon and we look with optimism to great times

ahead.

Here is my take on the highlights of this new

schedule:

Workshops 2

Using pre-

digitized Rose of

Sharon designs, create the em-

broidery machine applique de-

sign for the outside blocks for

the Go! Cutter Rose of Sharon

Table Runner.

This class is for V6 Editor Plus & Design Plus

Barbara Grace

Go Cutter - Rose of Sharon Table Runner

Judy Danz

Fashion mavens tell us that we all need a good

button front blouse. So, let‘s get busy and cre-

ate it ourselves. This 3-part workshop is focused

on creating a button front blouse from pattern

fitting to completion. Over the three classes we

will measure the pattern, trace the pattern onto

Swedish tracing paper, sew the Swedish tracing paper to check

initial fit, make pattern adjustments, then cut and sew a muslin

and for one more fit check. And…. finally, construct the blouse.

Button Front Blouse
