THIS IS A SPECIAL NEWS BULLETIN..!!

HERE'S WHAT'S HAPPENING IN BEAVER DAM, WISCONSIN. At the Nancy's Notions Retail store -- MARY MULARI is doing a completely free-form class, hands-on, two-day workshop. Which (in my own mind, anyway) -- is ALL ABOUT THE FRANKENSEWING...!!

You can bring something along that you want to work on -- although, there will be a field trip to the local Goodwill Store. AND YOU NEVER KNOW what treasure you might find!!

Do you remember the last time we made a trip to the Beaver Dam Goodwill store?

We found LOTS OF TREASURE...

And -- boy0boy0 -- DID WE HAVE FUN!!

Mary can turn curtains into elegant wraps...or old cashmere sweaters into mittens...and my specialty is taking a jazzy Size S...and turning it into a jazzy size 2X...

Description:

Join Mary at Nancy’s Notions Retail Store for two days of makeovers, thrift shop visits, and trunk shows filled with ideas to restyle textiles from tablecloths and shower curtains to too-tight shirts. You’ve seen Mary creating magical makeovers on Sewing With Nancy and this is your chance to spend hands-on, brainstorming time with her. Maybe you’d like to start a T-shirt quilt (Mary’s got a great technique that saves time and money), renovate a sweatshirt, or create some classy fabric wraps…It’s up to you!

Sign up now before the class is filled. We’re sure to have a great time being creative together!

News Flash:

A very special addition to Mary’s event:  She will be joined by her friend and Midwest YaYa Sister Rita Farro for still more fun and inspiration with thrift shop finds. Rita’s had lots of experience resizing clothing for adults and kids—she calls it Frankensewing! Wait till you see how she’s adapted athletic wear and bathing suits  for herself and converted outfits for her grandkids. This is your chance to spend creative time with the queens of Repurposing. Come prepared for a collection of new ways to sew and serge. Nancy’s Notions will provide the sewing machines for us to use.

Projects to consider and bring along:

T-shirt Memory Quilt - you’ll need 35 pre-washed T-shirts (or 18 if you want to use designed fronts and plain backs) and 4-1/2 yards of pre-washed flannel 

Sweatshirt and T-shirt makeovers - prewash and bring along with possible coordinating fabrics to use or choose something from Nancy’s Notions Retail Store

Reversible Aprons - use a vintage tablecloth or feed sack fabric for one side of the apron (Mary’s patterns will be available)

Doily or Hanky table runners - bring your stash along and let’s see how we can put them together for a contemporary way to use these vintage items

A favorite top you’d like to wear, but it’s a bit too small…

A special piece of fabric you’ve been saving but haven’t found a good use for it yet…something that could become a fabric wrap? 

If you have a question about a project or something you’d like to bring, contact Mary at marym@marymulari.com

THE BIG THING HERE IS THAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY HAVE TWO WHOLE DAYS to work on projects...to make things....to shop, and plan...and  SEW WITH MARY..!!
