- Sew and Tell! and Pattern of the Month (#oggpom):
- Thank you all for sharing your #FUNWITHFLEECE
You can find December's slides (and all of our past meetings) here!
Pattern of the Month for December: #structure
- Let’s apply what we learned from Stéphanie!
- In fashion, structure typically means a garment in a heavier weight or stiffer material that doesn't take the shape of what it touches. It smooths your body, not accentuating the nuances of your shape, something carefully tailored and deliberately shaped.
Remember when it comes to show and tell it doesn't have to be something you sewed this month, you are welcome to share any past makes!
You are welcome to sew for yourself, a family member, a friend, or whoever you would like! Remember the next two months we will be virtual so please post your makes on Instagram using #virtualOGGPOM if you want them including in the meeting slides
