So, it is a rainy day today but that's okay. We needed some rain and it's an excuse to stay inside and do some sewing, right?
We have lots of awesome classes, clubs and events to fill you in about. So get a cup of coffee (or whatever) and take time to read the whole newsletter!

Sew, are you wondering what Sew Days is all about? This is a nationwide event that members of the Fab Shop Network (like us) are participating. We want to spread the word about the joys of sewing!
This is happening the weeks of June 11- July 23, 2018 (skipping July 2nd week). Each shop participating will offer classes on the same project each week.
Cost is $5 per class + supplies (we will have inexpensive kits ready).
The projects are fun for both beginners and for experienced sewists.
Our Sew Days classes are as follows:
Tuesdays at 6:00pm
June 12: Last Minute Table Runner
June 19: Stow & Go Tote
June 26: Tea Towel Apron
July 10: Quick Zip Bag
July 17: Card Case
July 24: Tool Caddy
You DO NOT have to sign up for all classes. You can choose to attend the ones you'd like.
We want you to share classes and your completed projects on social media with #SewDays
If we have enough interest we may offer more dates each week.
Kids may come but if under 12 or no swing experience they must come with an adult.
PLEASE, call or stop in to register as space is limited!
OPEN SEW DAY
We still offer FREE open sew day at the shop. It's the 3rd Thursday each month from 10:00am-5:00pm. Bring your own machine! Bring a project to work on or find something new here to do!
LANGDON BLOCKHEADS (2)
(MODA BLOCKHEADS)
Yes, they are starting another FREE Block of the Week!
Several Moda designers are again collaborating to provide a FREE block pattern each week for 48 weeks. It's many of the same designers that did this last year (plus some "new" friends). Some things have changed a little:
1. There is a "layout" that will be revealed completely at the end of the 48 weeks. I believe it will be partially revealed earlier.
2. Size will be about 72" x 78"
3. You can do your own layout and size too.
4. Blocks will be in 3 different sizes with 6" finished block being the smallest.
5. Check out the Langdon Blockheads facebook group for the link to the full release details along with fabric amount suggestions.
6. Blocks will start releasing on June 6, 2018 and there will be a NEW block each Wednesday. I will post the link in our facebook group (under files) & you can print it for yourself.
7. At the end we will have another "wrap-up" party with prizes for completing the challenge.
Upcoming Sales and Events:
Saturday, June 23 is June Jamboree and we will have some awesome & crazy deals to offer you then! Watch facebook for more on this! I am planning a June sale before that and I'll post that very soon.
Christmas in July will be happening too the week of July 16-21, 2018. Stay tuned for those specials!
One thing to remember is that we always do 20% OFF for taking the end of a bolt (no matter the size).
