Because of difficulty with getting a meeting reservation at the Pohick Regional Library for December, we had to shift our meeting time to 8am (yes, I know this is early!). We will still hold a hybrid meeting for those unable to attend in person, and I know a lot of people will already be traveling and unable to attend in person anyway.
Our goals for this meeting are to:
- Show off our fall projects. Hopefully you were able to make coats, jackets, shackets, outerwear, OR practiced some of the elements that we have presented over the past few months (e.g., a personal primer of welt pockets or bound buttonholes, interfacing experiments, or tailoring techniques, such as pad stitching or catch-stitching).
- Develop a sewing program for 2023. Not only do we need to know what our members would like to learn in 2023, we also need to know what our members know that they are willing to share with others (because to TEACH is to LEARN TWICE). Also, everyone has a sewing skill that that can be shared or learned, no matter how novice or experienced.
This format works beautifully for both in-person and virtual attendance! Please take photos of your lovely garments and put them into some sort of presentation software such as PowerPoint so we can better appreciate the details of your projects AND so we can upload to web site and our social media channels. This can help with another technique---learning to use virtual technology better (e.g., Share Screen).
Please take some time in the next week or two to review your personal sewing resolutions for 2023 so we can have a fantastic discussion on Saturday, December 19, 2022, from 8:00am to 10:30am, whether you attend in person at Pohick or dial in via Zoom!
