Sewing Group Day

 

Yesterday I attended the Australian Sewing Guild (ASG) Industry Day at the Simplicity Company Headquarters in Sydney.  It was a great day and, of course, fabric and patterns were purchased.  Around 150 people attended and just looking at the participants' clothes was a highlight!   Here is one of the ASG members Suzanne Gray and a couple of her "fractured knits" garments.  I was lucky enough to attend one of Suzanne's crazy patchwork shirt classes some years ago.  She is an outstanding teacher and has great ideas.
