[SCA-BMDL] Sewing Circle on July 3

[Gail Lefkowitz]

PRE-PENNSIC SEWING CIRCLE

On Friday, July 3, from 10am until 4:30pm, there will be a sewing circle.  The site is the community building in the Summerset at Frick Park area of Squirrel Hill.  The community building has lots of space, tables and chairs, and a full kitchen. A $5 contribution towards drinks and the site rental is requested.  If people are so inclined, we can order in pizza or chinese at lunchtime.

Please bring your own sewing machine and gear (pins, scissors, etc).  A cutting surface and iron/ironing board will be available, but feel free to bring another.

The purpose of this sewing circle is to get ready for Pennsic War.  With only 3 weeks from the sewing circle to Pennsic, it is a good time to get those new tunics made, fix up the old ones, and work on camp projects.  Since the goal of the sewing circle is to let everyone work on their projects, no pattern-making or teaching will happen at this sewing circle.

Gentles who need a pattern or help in determining how to make an outfit are encouraged to contact Mistress Ts'vee'a at 412-361-0718 before 9pm or at lefkowitzga at earthlink.net.  I would be happy to schedule to meet with you at my house in Stanton Heights one evening to help with patterns and instruction.

With space and costumers comes fabric.  Feel free to bring fabric that would make someonen else wonderful clothes and we'll have a fabric swap.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Ts'vee'a at the contact info above, or Mistress Amaryllis (schwoegl at verizon.net) or Mistress Aleea (aleeabagah at comcast.net).
