November Meeting - Sewing Class

[Rob McKevitt]

A stich in time saves nine ... or something like that my Grandma used to say .... and she was right! It's time to learn to sew. Having enough beans, bullets and bandaids is all well and good but you're going to look darn silly wearing a trash bag and one holey sock because you can't fix your clothes and make new ones. Being a stylish, self-relient Prepper is what it's all about now.

We'll be meeting at Prep and Save on Linda Way at 10:00 AM on Saturday, November 14th. This will be a hands on training event to learn how to work with material, work with a pattern and sew your own project. We'll be both hand sewing and working with sewing machines. Please bring your sewing machine if you have one. We will REALLY need extras. So, learn with Lisa as she takes us through the steps necessary to teach you how to make basic patterns and work with sewing machines. Learn how to sew on your morale patches so they're straight. Learn how to sew the sleeves back onto your muscle shirts. Learn how to sew the tear in your sleeping bag. Learn how to sew your kids Halloween costumes. Bring the kids. Bring grandma. Bring a sewing machine if you have one.


This will be our last meeting of the year. Please come out to join us for the fun!

You are welcome to bring them but I'll have everything we should need there.

Those of you that missed this class really missed an opportunity. I want to thank Lisa for all her hard work putting this together. Though there were only a handful of us it was fun and informative with hands on training.

Thank you for this.

[Jerry D Young]

I agree wholeheartedly. Glenda, as Vanna White, did an excellent job too. Lisa did not even get angry when I jammed up her machine like you would not believe. But she got it clear and even let me use it again. She is a saint.

Just my opinion.

[David-Audrey]

OK...... so I have to admit it also, I jammed Glenda's sewing machine. I got really upset that I might have broke her machine. What did she do....she calming said this is something new that happened to her machine and calmly worked to fix it. She treated it as a learning experience for her and told me not to worry and of cause she was able to figure out what I did and fixed the machine. Thanks again Glenda.
