November Meeting: Sewing With Boning

 



We are excited to welcome local sewing star Linda Sparks of Farthingales Corset Making Supplies to our November meeting! Linda is an expert in the area of historical and corset sewing, with a business that has been supplying sewists since 1998.

What Linda doesn't know about boning isn't worth knowing! She'll be sharing lots of information with us on all aspects of boning - from which type is the best for your project, how to use various types, tools and techniques you might need and more - and this is not just about corsets. Boning can be helpful in many sewing situations, and Linda will share how boning can be incorporated in your contemporary sewing projects to make them the best they can be. 

Join us on Tuesday Nov. 12, 2024 at 7 pm for her presentation and our regular Sew & Tell time. We meet at the River Gardens Retirement Residence, Celebration Room at 10 Romeo St. N. (please remember to sign in and out at the entrance). 

Everyone is welcome - if you aren't yet a member, drop-ins are $5 at the door.
