The November meeting will be at 7:00 on November 16 at JoAnn's Fabrics in Fayetteville. There is a small classroom at the back of the store. Come early to do your shopping with your SAGA membership discount since we will probably not have time to shop after the meeting.
Susan will be teaching us how to make beautiful smocked gift bags. Below is the supply list for the November project:
18 by 22 in. piece of fabric pleated with 6-8 rows of pleats 1 in below the top of the fabric.
Finish the long top edge of the fabric with a serger rolled edge, or edge joining a piece of ½ lace edging.
18 by 22 in cotton or cotton/polyester blend).This will be for the lining if you wish to line the bag. They can be identical or fabrics that are contrasting.
½ yard of lace edging if desired
Embroidery floss for smocking design to match fabric or contrast.
Needle for smocking (#7 darner recommended)
1 yd. ribbon (no wider than 1/4") per bag (for drawstring ties)
