Birdie Sling

Here is Lisa in for a sewing lesson making the Birdie Sling from an Amy Butler Pattern. This was her first sewing project on her new machine she received for Christmas from her husband. I think she may be hooked on sewing.

After an evening of great conversation, a lot of cutting, and some sewing, Lisa finished her Birdie Sling. I love the fabrics she choose. The main fabric is Anna Maria Horner Sketch Book in Rose and the handle is Joel Dewberry Wood Grain in dark green.
This is the bag I finished. I used Anna Maria Horner Sketch Book in Blue and Amy Butler Full Moon Polka Dot in Slate. This is a great bag to sew. You learn quite a lot of techniques in one project. And the finished product is huge, you could carry a small child in it.

I love this yarn by Louet. The variegation reminds me of retro prints. It has the perfect yardage for making a hat with one skein. This yarn has just the right amount of silk blended in it to make it oh so soft to knit and great to wear.

We Moved!

Stash has moved to a bigger space in The Barn. We are still upstairs, but now you can find us on the West side. The space is bigger, which makes for better browsing and more space for classes and clubs. Carol and I are excited about more room. We cannot wait to fill it up with wonderful fibers for knitting and sewing!

They're Stuffed!

Our class has come to an end. Every one of us had so much fun. The end results turned out fantastic. We can't wait to make more and more gum drops.
