stitch n bitch

[aequorea]

here's the plan:

anyone who's interested and available would gather one sunday a month to learn/teach/work on crafty sorts of things. the first session would probably be a sewing machine how-to session. i would be willing to host, and i could probably fit 8-10 people in the basement crafty space.

no experience needed, it would be good to have a wide range of abilities! i am proficient in hand-sewing, operating a sewing machine, and knitting, but i am by no means an expert! i would be able to get newbies started and hopefully learn from others as we go along.

i would suggest sunday february 1 for the first one.

i live in downtown royal oak (main and 13)

who's interested?

[Eevee]

I'm interested.

But I have no skills whatsoever, rofl

[TheOsakaKoneko]

I can try to make it! I think it'd be a lot of fun. I need external motivation keeping me at the machine...

seriously, if you want to join in, PLEASE DO! i am a teacher. i am patient. i'm sure there are others who will have lots to share too!

[coed_doll]

I am crafty....and...I can teach knitting. I would like to plan on making it an outing. I am in Farmington Hills and I can host as well.

[Msterbeau]

I would just like to bitch. And throw donuts holes at Eevee.

HOORAY!

that will be helpful because i KNOW you have skills!

also...

as for sewing machines, i imagine some people might want to bring their own, but it is by no means necessary.

*quickly shoves msterbeau, slams door shut behind him*

*opens door a crack for eevee to throw donuts back*

This would be awesome! I'm also willing to help people out. I am an advanced seamstress, and also do embroidery, beading, basic knitting (would like to learn more)...

i'm so glad to be hearing from people with experience! hopefully i will be able to learn lots of new tricks. i have made plenty of costumes, but it would be nice to be able to make a finished piece that i would be happy to wear!

[eleven]

i am interested :D i have very little experience but i can knit, crochet, lach hook, embroider, cross stitch...and some other crafty things...:D

[TitsMcGee]

THis sounds like a blast, and I'd love to be involved, but with being so far away that would be difficult. Drats

[taysteewonderbunny]

Add me! I have no skill and little talent, but much willingness.

[thewhiterecluse]

I am so there, machine and all. I need to learn how to use this crazy contraption.

[Nienna]

I have 2 straight stitch machines and a serger BTW.

[TheOsakaKoneko]

I just have 1 machine, a very basic embroidery one (but I've neverused the embroidery, just the normal sewing machine part), but i can bring it.

I want a serger so very badly....... WANT!

OOHhhhh an embroidery machine! Awesome! I wouldn't mind tinkering wit that! LOL

[Eevee]

My mom has a sewing machine.

[thewhiterecluse]

My mom has a sewing machine.

Ask her if you can borrow it! Mine was passed down because my mom felt the need to get a new one when her old one was only 2 years old lol. She was going to show me how to use it but she didn't have time when her and the family came up from TN to visit. I had to work like everyday, llllaaammmeee.

The one I have is made by Roebuck and Co. I don't know if thats good or bad?
