After going to Paris with Marcy Tilton I decided to work my way through her patterns. So far I’ve made the vest, tee shirt and skirt. I’ve been very happy with the results. Today I got a good start on the jacket pattern. The fabric is a beautiful purple and blue on a gray/black background. It’s available on Marcy’s website (click to link). It has a large repeat which I thought would work very well with the pattern. Most of the jacket pieces are straight so I could use different elements of the fabric (top section is purple hearts, lower section is more of a fleur de lis). I’ll be using other elements of the pattern for the collar and cuffs.
The pattern directions are very clear and take small steps so it’s easy to read the pictures and figure out what to do. Marcy also takes advantage of the serger-something many patterns don’t do.

Despite the bad weather we had a fair turnout and lots of great show and tell. One of the Treadle attendees got motivated to add four pieces to her wardrobe giving Marcy Tilton’s new tee pattern a try. A few of the Bloomington attendees were busy with children’s and American Girl doll garments.

If you subscribe to that belief then I am an artist-just kidding! Procrastination is one of my strong suits and this being very close to the end of the year, I have a few ends I really must tie up.
First off, Material Girls is on Marcy Tilton’s list of websites to check out (click here to see her December newsletter). Thank you, Marcy! Her newsletter is great and includes more Paris info and some great things that I missed.
Second, the new Threads magazine features our favorite ponytail holder technique and alot of other very cool ideas.
And third is the first installment of the December Club garments. Debbie’s pictures have been in my possession for longer than I care to admit so here they are. If weather or Christmas chaos kept you from getting to Club, you can get the sheets by email for free if were are a subscriber–$3 if you not. Click here to email.

November has been a busy month but very productive. Expo was great. We hope to see some new faces.
Here are garment photos to help you remember what the Club sheets are talking about. As always, we can send you the electronic copies free if you are a subscriber or $3 if not.
Remember that Silhouette patterns tend to run small in the arms and Decades of Design measurements may be the finished garments.
Photos in order of appearance should be:
Debbie’s ruffle lined jacket
Debbie’s sweater with ribbed bands
Laurel’s boiled wool jacket
Laurel’s Decades of Desgn jacket
Kristin’s swing dress
Kristin’s silk blouse
Kristin’s boiled wool jacket
Kristin’s wrap skirt

We had a request for pictures from a snowbird that has already escaped the snow so we’ll give it a whirl. Let us know if you want us to continue. Of course, all the garments look better on our bodies… but the pictures may help if you are trying to duplicate what we’ve done. And if you didn’t make it to Club and would like to get more information on the garments, we can send the Club sheets to you. The cost for nonsubscribers is $3-subscribers will be sent Club sheets free for the asking. Unfortunately, I cannot send you all the laughs, show and tell and good stories that you missed by not being there personally. We missed that from you, too.

Hope to see you in November.
Pictures are continued in next post.
