<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My goodness, so much has happened since the Show</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">at the beginning of September.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There's been sickness, and holidays, and lots of work, and one daughter in Year 12 (meaning formal dress and Uni Open Days) and one son training for State Athletic Championships = lots of driving around.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So a little on the late side, here are some pics from the Beaudesert Show.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Mark found this Vogue Sewing book for me at the second</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">hand book shop at Jimboomba.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I love reading through it.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Some of the photos are a bit dated, but the techniques are always useful.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Have you noticed that often patterns tell you to do something,</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">but don't actually tell you HOW to do it?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">That's why you need a fantastic reference book like this.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">( Or you come to class and I'll show you how of course)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The latest version is quite expensive, so keep your eyes out for old versions at second hand shops. I also have a McCalls and Simplicity version too.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The picture of the sewing machine features is quite basic, but those important features haven't really changed.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I came up with this bag design while sitting at soccer one night</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">waiting for a message on my phone.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I didn't want to be holding my phone waiting for the message,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">but couldn't see it when it was in my handbag. So I made external</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">zippered pockets from mesh. Problem solved.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It also has an internal mesh pocket and is big enough to hold all the sporting essentials - diary, phone, wallet, notebook, novel, pens, lip balm, sunglasses, reading glasses, scarf, light jumper, car keys, camera ...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As a Group, the Scenic Sewers Beaudesert do some projects for charity.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Recently we made placemats for Meals on Wheels.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Meals sell them for $10 each which pays for 1 meal for someone in need during times of disaster such as the Bundaberg floods.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Margi & Pauline made 17 placemats between them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">They are pictured here with the post-op mastectomy bags made earlier in the year. These are donated to the Gold Coast Hospital as on ongoing project. The Hospital needs 100 of these bags each year. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I LOVE the fabrics from <a href="http://www.makeithobbyncraft.com.au/">http://www.makeithobbyncraft.com.au</a>/</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is one of a few fabrics I bought at Supanova and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">the Stitches and Craft show recently. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The shirt (for my son) was inspired by one on display at Supanova.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The pattern is Burda 9524.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I widened the shoulders, and added about 10cm to the length.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I also reduced the seam allowances to 6mm as I had just made</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">a Kwik Sew shirt and found them much easier to work with</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">especially around the collar and stand. Try it sometime.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I used 1m of each fabric. The collar and pocket are</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">fussy cut to show off the print.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I love using Steam a Seam - to position the pocket</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">so it won't move while sewing around it, and also</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">on the front hems (because they are narrow and edge to edge)</span>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If the collar gave me any grief, I was planning </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">on using it there too, but didn't need to. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Very pleased with the results. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">At the Boonah Guides Quilt & Craft Show recently,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I bought 3 fat quarters from <a href="http://www.apatchyquilting.com.au/">http://www.apatchyquilting.com.au/</a> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">and set myself the challenge of making a skirt from them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I kept it simple - a 6 gore straight self drafted skirt.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The right front and back panels are contrast to the other 4 panels.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I made sure I planned the pattern layout carefully before cutting out, because I wanted the right front & right back panels to be yellow.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Remember to measure twice and cut once.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Sigh, vanity makes you unpick.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The master pattern was drafted a couple of years ago, and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">it seems a centimetre or two as well. The skirt was a bit snug with</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">15mm seams so I restitched them using a 4-thread overlock</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">and unpicked the machine stitching. Much better.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Of course then the facings didn't fit, so I lined the skirt</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">without a facing and under stitched it at the waistline.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I love under stitching - it's the perfect finish for linings and facings. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I pressed the seams away from the centre panels and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">topstitched using a yellow/gold rayon embroidery thread</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">and my ditch stitch foot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hems are so easy on straight skirts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I overlocked the raw edges and turned up a 1" hem, and also tucked</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">under the overlocking (just because I felt like it) making it a 3/4" finished hem.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you are going to finish the hem this way (no visible raw edges) it is not necessary to overlock first. It was a last minute decision.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The easiest way to measure a straight hem is to place the</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">skirt wrong sides up over the end of the ironing board.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Then measure 2" (twice the finished hem width) from the</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">overlocked/raw edge and poke a pin into the ironing board.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Fold the raw edge up to the pin, move the pin to secure hem,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">and press before sewing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I used an invisible zipper in the side seam.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The sewing up was relatively quick and easy. It just takes a little</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">time to plan something not straight out of the box.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.</span></div>
