There has been quite a response regarding the Seattle BurdaStyle meetup so this should be fun! Stitches, and a weekend day, were the preferred location and day for most people that emailed me. They have classes on Sundays but Saturdays are wide open for us. I scheduled this first meeting at 2pm, but we can change the time of future meetings, the earliest option would be 11:30 am and the latest probably 4pm so we can be out of there in time for dinners plans, etc.
Here's what I suggest we cover during our first get-together:
- Introductions
- Something to share/ask
- Show us a recent finished project
- Bring those pattern directions that have you stumped - together we can figure it out
- Show us a picture/swatch of your upcoming/current project, solicit opinions if needed
- Tell us about your favorite website for fabric, patterns, videos with sewing techniques
- Show off those great vintage patterns you scored at the thrift store
- Plan future meeting topics
- Identify a few things we'd like to learn about - how to install zippers, make welt pockets, etc
- Identify people who would be willing to demonstrate these at upcoming meetings
- Scheduling
- Preferred dates/times for future meetings
- Upcoming topics/themes
- Schedule next meeting
- Photo session
- For anyone who needs this
I hope most of you can make it! See you then!

Woo hoo! I hope to make it for June. =)
Bummer I live so far away, sounds like it will be so fun.
Boy, am I jealous! This sounds so good.
ahhh, if I only lived in Seattle!
I'm over on Lopez Island, but I think I'm going to join you! How often are you thinking the group will meet? Paula
Hi Paula, I'm thinking we'll start out with monthly meetings...
Totally, utterly, completely upset that teleporting has not been invented yet! Wish I could be there - but I will be tuning in to see your updates.
I'd like to come! I'm nowhere near the seamstress you seem to be, but I'm dying to know more sewers in the area!
