Jacket Complete

Posted in daily painter, Sewing, tagged , on August 3, 2019| Leave a Comment »

20190803_130030.jpg The Sandys have completed the jacket.  Sandra Charles, on the left,  is a fabulous seamstress and she spent a few Fridays at Open Studio teaching Sandy Schwalb to sew.  The jacket was made with antique fabric given to Sandy by her aunt in New York City.  It’s beautiful but a little fragile with which to work so it was a challenge.  It  turned our terrific.  Nice work girls!

20190713_163909.jpg Did you know that every Friday at The Studio from 10-1 you can come and work on those projects that you just can’t seem to get done at home….or need someone to give you a little help?  Sometimes people paint, sometimes we crochet, sometimes we sew….you just never know what might be going on!  But the one thing that always happens is FUN!  We have fun at The Studio.  This past Friday Sandra continue the sewing lesson she has been doing with Sandy.  The jacket is almost there!  Can’t wait to see their finished project.

Learning to Sew with Rag Quilts

Posted in Sewing, The Studio/Classes, tagged , on January 15, 2018| Leave a Comment »

One of the most FUN ways to learn to sew is to make a Rag Quilt….which is just what we did at The Studio yesterday afternoon.  Just sewing straight lines has never been so cool!!!  Look at what you can make even if you have NEVER used a machine before.  We can help you be so creative.  Why not give it a try?  We have another class coming up on Sunday, February 25th.  And the best part is you don’t have to bring anything…just show up and we’ll have it all ready to go for you.  Click here to register.

Sunflower Quilts

Posted in Sewing, tagged , , , , on September 18, 2017| 1 Comment »

Yesterday we made Sunflower Rag Quilts at The Studio.  What a beautiful project.  Everyone’s looks different as they all selected their fabrics.  This is a little more advanced than our beginner Rag Quilt (you can register for the next beginning rag quilt here) so you need a little experience to sew the flower.  We’ll be doing it again at the first of the year.  We are thinking of a daisy…either white or a pink gerber!

The Singer Spartan

Posted in Little Known Facts, Serendipity, Sewing, The Studio/Classes, tagged , , on October 15, 2016| 2 Comments »

Look at my new toy!  Thanks Sandra for telling me about this little jewel and for riding out with me to pick it up  yesterday.  Did  I need another sewing machine….well, probably not as I have four plus two embroidery machines…but really, can you ever have enough of these old Singers if they are operational?  And this one is but she’s going over to an expert machine maintainer to get a little cleaning and tune up.

I did some research on her last night and think I’ve learned that it’s a 1950’s model that is about 3/4 of the size of the average machine at that time.  My only confusion on this one is that it says “Made in Great Britain” on the top of the machine but the serial plate says “Made in Canada”.  What???  Got to learn more about that.  I wonder if the plate has been replace??  We’ll see what the expert says.  Anyway, it will come in real handy for the upcoming sewing classes that we have scheduled at The Studio.  Check out the quilt class here and the Simple Poncho class here.
