July/August

Calendars

10 - 11

Summer has arrived along with in-

creases in temperatures and the arri-

val of sticky humidity. This combina-

tion makes it difficult to stay indoors

and sew. While taking a break from

sewing you may want to take ad-

vantage of some of the local attrac-

tions; museums, theater or botanical

gardens. As you enjoy the sights, pay

special attention to new color combi-

nations, shapes or design. Now think

of this in terms of what you could

translate into a new sewing project.

Take a leap and use a new color com-

bination, texture or technique, some-

thing outside your comfort zone. It is

good for all of us to stretch our crea-

tivity in a new direction.

We finally have a name on the ballot

for president, Jan Steffen. The balance

of the CAB has agreed to run for re-

election. Mark your calendar for our

Annual Meeting in the Rancho Bernar-

do area. Susan Lazear, will present our

program, “Where do fabrics gets their

name”. I am thrilled to tell you that

Sandra and her fabrics will also join us.

Congratulations to all of you that en-

tered items at the San Diego County

Fair. This is an excellent way to show

off to the attendees of the fair what

we do as an organization!!!!! For

those of you that won an award, my

hat is off to you. We all owe a special

thanks to Pam Burleton for her time

organizing and setting up the booth,

not to mention scheduling all the vol-

unteers.

As I write this I am in the final stages

of getting ready for the ASG Confer-

ence in Indianapolis; bitter sweet as it

will be my last conference as your

president….

Now back to my sewing machine.

Looking forward to seeing all of you at

the annual meeting.

Happy Sewing

Jackie

COMING SOON!

Watch for a survey, coming soon, on your preference for our next

bus trip.

Editor’s Comment:

This may seem funny at the time, but we all know of instances where fabric and related items did

not go where they would do the most good. Think about where you would want your sewing

possessions to go to a good home, and then print this page and put it with your important pa-

pers.

Fabricholic’s Will:

Being of sound mind and body, I __________________ record my last will

and testament, knowing that hereby (insert name) _________________my

___________________ (husband, sister, daughter, etc.) has no appreciation of, or

in some instances knowledge of, my extensive fabric collection deposited

throughout the house.

Knowing also that ________________ has notified the local thrift store

should I precede him or her to the great fabric shop in the sky, to pick up

and dispose of the aforementioned collection.

Therefore, I do will this collection, and all collections related to it, to my

dear fabric preservationist.

It is my wish that she, upon hearing of my death and the inability to take

it with me, come to my home and stack my entire collection in my studio.

She should then purchase refreshments for all my friends, and they shall

gather in that room and remember me, then peacefully divide the collec-

tion amongst themselves.

Be forewarned, 1 will be hovering over this process! The rest of my worldly

possessions (car, stocks, house, etc.) can go to those who do not understand

this event.

MURPHY SEWING LAWS!

Fusible interfacings always fuse to the iron

The serge only eats the customer's garment

If you need 6 buttons, you will find 5 in your button box

The seam you meant to rip out is invariably the other one

When you are in a hurry, the needle eye is always too small

The fabric you forgot to pre-shrink will always shrink the most

The pattern you wanted to make again will have one key piece missing

If you drop something out of your sewing basket, it will be your box of pins,

with the cover off

Whenever the construction process is going well, the bobbin thread runs out

The magnitude of the goof is in direct proportion to the cost of the fabric

Your lost needle will be found by your son, husband or brother-in-law,

while walking around barefoot

Facings tend to be sewn to the wrong side (Opposite sides attract)

Collar points don't match, and you've trimmed all the seams

The iron never scorches the garment until its final pressing

The steam iron only burps rusty water on light silk fabric

The sewing machine light usually burns out on Sunday

Pinking shears get dull just by looking at them

Gathering threads always break in the middle

The scissors cut easiest past the buttonhole

Matching edges don’t

You will spill your pin box once per garment

As yee sew, so shall yee rip
