SewWhat SEWS

I’ve been slow to post pics/ideas/dates/times for new classes. I haven’t been feeling the best lately,(last 2 months) so I’m taking the time to try to get feeling better. The fabric store is still open and you’re welcome to come any time. For the next couple of weeks however classes are on hold. Hopefully I can get back to full time classes in August. Please bear with me as I try to figure out what’s wrong and how to fix it.

SewWhat? I just have a couple of quick and easy projects to do for July...there are 2 table runners and 2 throws...Table runner #1..I don't even have it named yet...lol..let alone finished, but it's just 3 easy easy stars...you can make it longer if you want...this will take you 2 classes to complete. Table Runner #2 is an applique pattern, which can be simpler than piecing like the stars...so 5 large flowers...again, no name...this may take 3 classes to complete...depends on how you finish the flowers....Either Table runner is $45 complete. Throw #1 is a simple black and white star throw...no name...not even sure of the size as it's not totally finished (needs borders, backing, batting, quilting and lastly binding) but hey, the top is finished!...this looks cool in 2 colours...you can change up the colours...Throw #2 is a larger version of Throw #1, but done in a multitude of colours...both are simple to do, #1 will take 3 classes, #2 will take at least 4.. #1 will be $75 complete and #2 will be $85 complete.
Class dates and times to follow...

Starting Monday June 1st, and running every Monday for the month from 1-4 or 6-9 you can come and make your own Elbows UP CANADA flag. The flag measures 54” x 45” and it can be hung up, tossed over the sofa, used outside at the campfire, taken to the beach….whatever you like to do with it.

I’m offering 3 different styles you can make it in.
Scrappy, Plain and Simple or Country with Buffalo Plaid.

Scrappy will take the longest as you have to make the scrappy fabric (sew different shades of reds together) for the outside sections and the Maple Leaf. This will take 3+ classes to make.

Plain and Simple is easy peasy, you will just be using plain red and white fabrics for everything.

Country with the Black and Red Buffalo Plaid is just as easy as the Plain and Simple, only you use Buffalo Plaid for the outer sections and the Maple Leaf. Easy Peasy.

All the flags are $150 complete. You can change the embroidery work on the bottom or eliminate it altogether. It doesn’t have to say Elbows UP! CANADA.

If you have any other questions or want to sign up for a class, message me or pop around and see what I’m talking about!

Tomorrow at 10am the new fabric store will be open! This is a very low key opening, no balloons, or signs (just the SewWhat REPAIRS sign on our front lawn)…use the laneway off of MacNab St, come to the garage door and ring the doorbell to let us know you’re here. Then step inside, hopefully hubby will be there to greet you, but if he isn’t, just continue up the steps and into the house. You need the 2nd doorway on your left to head downstairs. (Before you get to the kitchen)Then just come on down! I have coffee and water for you to enjoy while you sit and look thru the books I have to give you lots of new ideas! Hope to see you here!
