Join us at our studio on Friday July 10th from 6pm-9pm as we welcome Christine Haynes, author of Chic & Simple Sewing. She will be discussing and signing copies of her latest book with a fashion show to follow. Come early for homemade Sangria and cupcakes while we enjoy music from DJ Lady C. Bring in an item to print on and we’ll show you how to screen print with the Yudu and how to create needle felted accessories – all free!

We will be raffling off two signed copies of Christine’s book, fat quarters of our fabrics and other U.C.C goodies throughout the night. In addition, Christine will have a trunk show of finished garments for sale. It’s a great chance to meet other crafters, get inspired and celebrate the handmade revolution!

About the book: Chic & Simple Sewing is a collection of 24 contemporary projects for the woman who wants handmade clothing without going to fashion school to do it! The book includes patterns for each design, from an Indian Summer Dress to a classic Trench, categorized by season – perfect for a modern seamstress.
