MARIPOSA PIECE MAKERS NEWSLETTER AUGUST, 2010
Hello everyone!
My apologies for being a little late with the newsletter this month. This is a big job and I'm not used to having to think so much! Marianne is such a creative writer, and I for one will be glad to welcome her back next month.
I hope you all met the Fair entry deadline and are anxious to put the finishing touches on your projects.
That is what we have planned for the next meeting. Bring anything you need to in order to finish up your entries.
For those of you who are finished, or just want a break from sewing, we have a project that really needs to be done, sorting out our fabric stash in the storeroom. We have a lot of fabric that really isn't suitable for quilting, and we want to get rid of it by giving it away or just throwing it out. This is so we can make room for some good fabric that Colette has been storing for us until we had some room in the storage room. We would like to work on this project for as long as it takes to get done, so we suggest you bring a lunch, we will provide coffee and iced tea.
At our last meeting Mary Lou brought samples of sweatshirts that she and her friend Gerry Cross are going to teach us in October. Mary Lou wants us to go to 
www.jiffyshirt.com to pick out the color and size that we will want, but don't order it. Bring this information to this meeting to give to her. She will then place one order and be able to get us a discount. Her recommendations are to choose a heavy weight, 11 or 12 ounce, shirt that has set in sleeves and no yoke. This makes it easier for us first timers.
Other items we will need include:
Steam-a-Seam 2, a double stick fusible web
A roll of Stitch Witchery, medium to heavy weight
Interfacing or batting for collar and pocket
Zipper or buttons
Medium weight yarn if you are adding pin tucks
Applique foot for your machine
Chalk pencil, #2 pencil, scissors, ruler, tape measure and pins.
You will need a sweatshirt pattern, thread that matches the color of your sweatshirt, and various matching or contrasting fabrics for applique. If you have any questions call or email Mary Lou or email Gerry at cross.gerry@gmail.com.
