I just returned from an exciting conference for ASG members held in Atlanta, GA! It was so much fun, and I got to meet so many ASG sewing friends. I took a wonderful jeans making class from Jennifer Stern. The class was from 8 - 5 pm. We actually made a muslin and tweaked it to get a perfect fit! I'll be posing pics of my progress with that later. Here I am with my favorite Loralie character! I also took a class with Patti Palmer Pletsch on fitting tips. It, too, was an excellent class. I learned how to tissue fit patterns and how to use the pre-printed alteration lines on her line of McCalls patterns to fit/alter patterns.
I finished Simplicity 2703 http://www.simplicity.com/p-1653-misses-sportswear.aspx.
It was a very simple pattern that came together very easily. I did FBA using the Patti Palmer Pletsch method . It's so easy and works superbly. I made this dress for the ASG Challenge and wore it at the Annual Conference held in Atlanta, Ga. Here's a pic of me and my new friend, Susie, from LA. She made the same dress and also the jacket.

This is my version of a Vera Bradley bag. I'm not a paisley flowery type LOL, this fabric reminded me of African mud cloth, but very bright and pretty. We made these at an ASG Neighborhood Group meeting, it was a lot of fun! I wasn't into making purses until I joined ASG, now I can't get enough of it!
I also found this cute fabric at conference. It's was perfect for a little boy. I have to make my grandson, Kadin, some shirts!
And lastly, these lovely things are refridgerator magnets! Gotta go Project Runway just came on!!!!!!!
