how I made my really cute PIGGY PILLOWCASES--my sewing obsession

Well, first I went to the quilting class of Kathy Green---one of my sewing heroes...

then I saw the barnyard pig fabric...one of the other students was making a pillowcase...
I felt as if I would expire if I could not have that fabric....so I immediately went to Rosie's Calico Cupboard and bought it...It was about 8 dollars a yard...100% cotton.
I used the pillowcase pattern Kathy gave us in class...it is all over you tube...it is basically the burrito technique with french seams...it is very simple.,,,(after I cut it incorrectly and had to re-cut it so the pigs would be right side up on the bed.)
I had the lace from a purchased table runner....and now I am trying to sell them....or use them for a wall hanging....anything to just keep talking about them because they are soooooo cute.

to purchase the cute pigs go to.........www.chloetoo.com......


or purchase right here with paypal....it's the same thing.


one barnyard pillowcase..........19.00





two barnyard pillowcases.........35.00



tax and shipping are included

SILK SCARF CLASS THIS SATURDAY


 SILK SCARF CLASS THIS SATURDAY...

Just wanted to let everyone know about this wonderful school and the silk scarf class Saturday.


That would be this Saturday:

October 27, 2012

9 am to 2 or 3pm



My very good sewing teacher Donna Namdar has said there wil be a wonderful class this Saturday on the creation of silk scarves.  It will be held right across the hall from our beautiful and comfortable and large and modern classroom at the Point Loma Branch of the San Diego Continuing Education School.

I love going to these classes because not only are the instructors extremely well qualified and knowledgeable but everyone in the class and the people connected with the class are very welcoming and friendly.  In fact, there is a wonderful "no hate" sign in the lobby that always gets my attention.  There are people in the classes of all ages and people from everywhere around the world.

The whole thing is just great and I would recommend these classes for anyone.

For this class, Donna, my instructor, said you just walk in and pay 10 dollars.  No pre-registration or supplies are required--everything will be in the class that you need.

This is at the West City Campus---on Fordham Street right off Midway upstairs in room 209.

It is the adult school--the continuing education portion of the community colleges in San Diego.  The building is beautiful and new and friendly and I love all of the sewing classes.

On the third link there is a map to the class--You may want to call for more information or particulars--I heard about this class in my class and perhaps there are more details of interest to the people who are planning on attending.

Have fun at the class---cl
