Sewing "The Anything Organizer"

Our evening sewing sessions with Chrissy Weeks have been very successful so far. We're so glad you like them! We have another fun one planned for you this month.

On Tuesday*, January 28, 6:00-9:00pm, Chrissy will be teaching a class on sewing a handy organizer. Of course, we think this project is an ideal place to keep your knitting needles and crochet hooks, but it's very customizable, so you can store all kinds of different things in there.

Here's the list of supplies you'll need to bring:

• Your Sewing Machine, all parts and manual if possible
  
• Scissors – 6 or 8 inch dress shears are best
  
• Measuring tape and/or ruler
• Thread to match your project (but please have white, gray and black with you as a back up)
  
• Pins and pin cushion or magnet
  
• Tailor's chalk or other washable marking tool (regular pencil will work in a pinch)
  
• Extra sewing machine needles
  
• Hand sewing needles (small for finishing and sewing buttons)
  
• Seam ripper
• Whatever you plan to put in your organizer: knitting needles, crochet hooks, pencils, crayons, make-up brushes, paint brushes, etc...

Cost for the class is $20 (CASH or CHECK only, please). That includes the fabric and the pattern.

To register, email Chrissy at c@chrissyweeks.com or give us a call at 404-377-6875.

*We will still have Knit Night and be open for business like any other Tuesday, so even if you're not sewing with us, bring a project and hang out!

Come sew with us

If you're like us, your interest in crafts isn't limited to just knitting or crocheting. With that in mind, we're excited to be teaming up with Decatur sewing instructor Chrissy Weeks to add a fun little twist to an upcoming Tuesday night.

On November 19, 6 - 9 pm, please join us for our first Evening Sew! The project will be a shopping tote. Cost for the workshop is $18.00, which includes materials.

There will be various options for fabrics, strap lengths, and pockets.

• Chrissy will provide the pattern, fabric and as much help as you need.
• Sheepish will provide the space.
• You bring your sewing machine, scissors & thread.
• You help us decide which project to do next.
• Please feel free to bring snacks and drinks.

Maybe you've bought or inherited a sewing machine but haven't had the confidence to try your first project yet. Maybe you've sewn in the past but would like a refresher so you can get back into it. Maybe you're already fairly competent at sewing but would like to do it in a social setting instead of at home by yourself. If any of that sounds familiar, this workshop is for you!

To register for this workshop, give us a call at 404-377-6875. Class size is limited to eight students, so be sure to reserve your spot soon.

Please note that this Evening Sew takes place on a Tuesday night during our usual Knit Night festivities. If you're not participating in the sewing workshop, of course you can still bring your knitting/crocheting and hang out!
