American Sewing Guild Los Angeles Chapter Meeting at Urban Craft Center Done Sweater Surgery Style

I had the pleasure of being asked to speak at the Los Angeles Chapter of the American Sewing Guild's last meeting held at the Urban Craft Center in Santa Monica. I thouroughly enjoyed meeting everyone, chatting about the peculiarities of sewing with sweaters and sharing a fun project of making Sizzix die cut recycle wool felted flowers with them. They all were so creative!

Here is a fun shot "bouquet" shot of their bloomin' creativity! Thank you so much for having me!
