It almost feels like October instead of September. We have just received another assortment of Jersey, Ribbed and Slinky Knits in prints and solids. I have been starting to think about new fall/winter garments. I hope to have some new garments to show you by the end of this week.<br /><br /><div>Kwik Sew has some wonderful new patterns available. Several remind of patterns from the mid 80's but updated and ever so stylish. There is a great new jacket pattern that is made from a square of fabric with sleeves and pockets added. Take a look <a href="http://www.kwiksew.com/Catalog/cat_detail.cfm?pid=3624&QL=MissJacketsVestSkirt">here</a> . I am really excited about this garment. I want to make a few changes and have it ready for the cooler days of </div><div>Cross Country (Bryce is running again for the 6th year). </div><br /><div>Here is a garment that one of our customers designed for a </div><div>friend that is getting married soon. I just had to share. I think</div><div>she did a fabulous job !!!! She is also making a pair a boy-cut </div><div>panties out of the same stretch lace that was used for the midriff </div><div>on the gown.</div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Pzph8Q6hl34/SL71PL1aqdI/AAAAAAAAAMc/591XYzn_hns/s1600-h/esta%27s+bridal+gift+002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241896657529514450" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Pzph8Q6hl34/SL71PL1aqdI/AAAAAAAAAMc/591XYzn_hns/s200/esta%27s+bridal+gift+002.jpg" border="0" /></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241896336492948434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="201" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Pzph8Q6hl34/SL708f4Va9I/AAAAAAAAAMU/7Qznemv4Dsg/s200/esta%27s+bridal+gift+001.jpg" width="112" border="0" /></div><br /><p></p><p>REMEMBER THAT SEW-IN SEPTEMBER 13 4pm - 10pm. </p>Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13351352472010622305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9194710655127362149.post-49898660423185918892008-08-19T22:50:00.010-05:002008-08-21T01:01:18.036-05:00UPDATES FOR INTIMATELY YOURS 1ST EDITIONThank you to everyone for being so patient.

It has been a great week at Needle Nook Fabrics. Lots of classes and some wonderful garments completed. M, D, T, B & T made great Basic T-Shirts, I have a new T-Shirt also. It is a great Sweater Knit of Cotton/Polyester. Although I love all types of white knit<br />fabrics, I was dyeing some fabrics and decided that a lavendar might be just what I needed in my wardrobe. This has a heathered look due to the polyester fiber not taking as much of the dye as the cotton fibers.<br />I am really happy with the color. The sleeves seem to be a bit big with this fabric, so I will be narrowing the width.<br />I have narrowed the width on this shirt and it fit much better.<br />Had it hanging on display at the store and sold it to a customer<br />that just had to have it to go with the pair of pants she had<br />brought in to match fabric.<br /><br /><ul><li> Nine ladies are now perky and comfortable in their new bras. Sorry no pictures.....<br /></li><li>I'm sure many of you are busy getting the children ready to start school next week. I am so greatful that the weatherman is predicting cooler than normal temps. Bryce, my son, is looking forward to his Senior year. He is very excited about his Auto Mechanics and Broadcast Production classes. Monica, my daughter, is getting her classroom ready in California for another year teaching 7th & 8th grade Math. </li></ul><p></p><ul><li>It would be great to hear from everyone.

Last Friday evening Grace, my friend Denise and I stayed at the store and sewed. I cut out and made 2 new tops.<br /><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Pzph8Q6hl34/SGpA_Qtk0OI/AAAAAAAAAKc/Q7OJUZjJWYU/s1600-h/Anne%27s+tops+6+2008+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218054573824200930" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Pzph8Q6hl34/SGpA_Qtk0OI/AAAAAAAAAKc/Q7OJUZjJWYU/s200/Anne%27s+tops+6+2008+001.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>The fabric for this top is a Polyester/Lycra Jersey knit from Hi-Fashion Fabrics. Very soft and drapey. I used a contrast for the Reversed V-Neck and the front drape in a black with white pin dots. I plan on wearing this with slinky pants that are black with very small turquoise rectangles.<br /><br /><br /></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><br />Below is probably my favorite style of knit tops. I saw this in a magazine several years ago and figured out how to copy the style. I call it my Slashed and Gathered. I have made this in solids, stripes and prints of all the same fabric. This time I decided to mix it up a bit with the opposite polka dot prints. The black with white is 100% cotton jersey and the white with black is 100% cotton ribbed knit. This top will be go with many other colors including my red slinky pants or skirt. Add a bit of red jewelry to top off the outfit. I also have turquoise trousers and jewelry that will be just a bit less bold. </div><div><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Pzph8Q6hl34/SGpEcFVp5QI/AAAAAAAAAK0/siPJcAxaXB4/s1600-h/Anne%27s+tops+6+2008+003.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218058367522170114" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Pzph8Q6hl34/SGpEcFVp5QI/AAAAAAAAAK0/siPJcAxaXB4/s200/Anne%27s+tops+6+2008+003.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218055469414005522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Pzph8Q6hl34/SGpBzZC0uxI/AAAAAAAAAKk/4LOICX6RDrQ/s200/Anne%27s+tops+6+2008+002.jpg" border="0" /> REMEMBER THAT WE WILL BE <strong>CLOSED JULY 4 THRU 12, 2008</strong>. <br />Shari will reopen the store JULY 14th.

I think the best thing is that all of the patterns come sized for children as well as adults (translation one purchased pattern will do the whole family)! As an added bonus this also means plus sizing. Jalie has printed the patterns on heavy weight paper ready for tracing, and all have at least 22 - 24 different sizes.</div>Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13351352472010622305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9194710655127362149.post-40049880045237542572008-04-08T09:48:00.005-05:002008-04-08T12:31:50.913-05:00Store ExcitementThis morning has started off with a bang or a Bing. Anne will be featured in The Wichita Eagle's Ten Questions With... of the <a href="http://www.kansas.com/wichitalk/">WichiTalk</a> section. Bonnie Bing and her photographer Jamie were here to do a photo shoot and an interview. However, we do not know when the article will appear. That means you dedicated Needle Nookers out there must check the blog for the link to the article and to see the ongoings at the store.<br /><br />We would like to say a big THANK YOU to all of our customers and followers. Once again our Bra Workshop classes at the <a href="http://www.asg.org/">American Sewing Guild</a> National Convention in Chicago have filled (in less than 1 week). Our lecture classes are still open, we do not have a limit for participants. We will once again have a booth at convention and are looking forward to seeing all of you again and meeting new friends.<br /><br />Thanks to all of you for your support, encouragement and continued interest in bra making and garment construction. There are more things to do with your sewing machine than home dec and quilting. We appreciate all of you who continue to make garments for yourselves and for your families.<br /><br />Teaser - Anne will be heading south to Dallas to pick up some fabric we have ordered and visit a couple of warehouses.

Be sure to overlap the ends approximately 1/2". If desired, you can then turn the elastic to the wrong side of the sheet and zig-zag at the inside edge to give a more finished appearance.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Note:</strong> If your mattress is a different size you can do the following to figure the amount of fabric needed<br /><br /><br />The width of the mattress + two times the depth + 2" for the width of the fabric. The length of the mattress two times the depth = 2" for the length of of fabric.<br /><br /><br />Example: Mattress is 28"w x 54"l x 7"d. You will need a piece of fabric 44"x70"<br /><br /><br />To figure the amount of elastic needed, add the width + length then multiply by 2 the multiply that by 60%. The resulting number will be the amount of elastic needed.<br /><br /><br />Example: for the above mattress you will need 98" of elastic<br /><br /><br /><strong>Special Note:</strong> Please see <a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_2165529_baby-crib-sheet.html?ref=fuel">How to make a baby crib</a> sheet if you want to use a woven fabricAnnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13351352472010622305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9194710655127362149.post-60590676906510279502008-04-03T12:47:00.006-05:002008-05-08T12:16:27.143-05:00What others are saying"Thank you again for the great class and for the comfort of my 2 girls!!! who now stand straight and forward again". <em>C from ASG Ft.

Interesting things we learned on the way here: Buy gas in Missouri, the Missouri is a really <strong>big</strong> river, and semi's like to travel I-70.<br /><br />Anne's lecture was attend by 35 ASG members and the second showing of Monica's Powerpoint presentation was a resounding success! There were many interesting questions but one that we just knew had to be answered her on the blog.<br /><br />What undie pattern you like to use for women & men?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.kwiksew.com/Catalog/PDF/2100.pdf">Women's Kwik Sew #2100 Bikini, Hipster & Brief</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.kwiksew.com/Catalog/PDF/3298.pdf">Men's Kwik Sew #3298 Boxer Brief</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.kwiksew.com/Catalog/PDF/2334.pdf">Men's Kwik Sew #2334 Jockey</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.kwiksew.com/Catalog/PDF/1672.pdf">Men's Kwik Sew #1672 Boxer's</a><br /><br />Saturday's workshop was grand fun. The weather did try to dampen our spirits (no sunshine) but we created our own "sunny" day. Everyone arrived bright-eyed and ready to sew. All were fit into their OWN bra by 6:00pm. The ladies discovered that a well fitting undergarment can be an uplifting and supportive experience.<br /><br />Sunday's workshop was very successful and very productive. We were able to have everyone fitted and packed up by 6:30pm. Anne and I we very chatty and made it to St. Louis before we stopped for the evening.<br /><br />Thank you Indianapolis we had a great time we look forward to hearing how your next bra making experience goes.<br /><br /><p></p><p></p><p><br /></p><div style="WIDTH: 480px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><embed src="http://w252.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w252.photobucket.com/albums/hh31/ndlnookfab/Indianapolis 3-08/824b345a.pbw" width="480" height="360" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"></embed><a href="http://i252.photobucket.com/redirect/album?action=slideshow&landing=/slideshows&type=8" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; FLOAT: left; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif" /></a><a href="http://s252.photobucket.com/albums/hh31/ndlnookfab/Indianapolis%203-08/?action=view&current=824b345a.pbw" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; FLOAT: left; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn_viewallimages.gif" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><p></p>Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13351352472010622305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9194710655127362149.post-28480893047146675982008-03-07T11:10:00.004-06:002008-03-07T11:28:51.314-06:00Gentlmen do existLadies, we have a Gentleman among us. One of our customers, a handsome septuagenarian, likes to wear vests, and he has worked very hard to make a beautiful vest using <a href="http://www.burdafashion.com/en/Patterns/Main_Collection/8186_Suit__Waistcoat_vest/1270778-1128998-1003846-1156956.html">Burda 8186</a>. It was made out of moleskin, lined with PolySupreme. He did not stitch the lining and vest together at the hems, but left them loose adding ribbon tabs to the lining to keep it from riding up. What an amazing couture detail.<br /><br /><p><a href="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh31/ndlnookfab/P3060098.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh31/ndlnookfab/P3060098.jpg" border="0" /></a> He has also put in working welt pocket.

The Blog Goddesses have been sick and then there was the prep for the San Diego Workshop.<br /><br /><br />Friday night was a great lecture! Can you believe we had 62 women there? Lots of wonderful questions were asked and lots of flashing was done.<br /><br />Monica debuted her PowerPoint presentation and it was GREAT. We are hoping that this makes our lecture more informative and easier to understand. Monica used the same pictures as in the book so that there would be continuity between the lecture, pattern instructions and the book.<br /><br />The 3 workshops went Great! Everyone's bras fit beautifully and all brains were completley exhausted but full of new knowledge. The San Diego ASG Chapter are grand hostesses and are great ladies to sew with.<br /><br /><br />Anne flew back home without incident after a drive up the coast to LAX. Deb drove home after a too short visit to the Los Angeles area to visit old friends and do some family business. Not to mention a stop at Trader Joe's for some all important stocking up.<br /><br /><br />Please enjoy some photos from our trip.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="WIDTH: 480px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><embed src="http://w252.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w252.photobucket.com/albums/hh31/ndlnookfab/San Diego/fce8d6d8.pbw" width="480" height="360" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"></embed><a href="http://i252.photobucket.com/redirect/album?action=slideshow&landing=/slideshows&type=8" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; FLOAT: left; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif" /></a><a href="http://s252.photobucket.com/albums/hh31/ndlnookfab/San%20Diego/?action=view&current=fce8d6d8.pbw" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; FLOAT: left; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn_viewallimages.gif" /></a></div>Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13351352472010622305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9194710655127362149.post-11084900512374490692008-02-12T11:44:00.000-06:002008-02-12T12:45:33.982-06:00Anne's Buying TripAnne just returned from Dallas, and came home with lots of new fabrics.

It appears that 41% of us sew beacuse it is cheaper than therapy. Some 27% of us have more square feet of fabric than house (isn't this a scary thought -- but it makes for lower heating & electric bills due to the insulating properties).<br /><div></div><br /><div>Personally I think (this is Deb) that nothing says "I love you" like handmade undies! Just think about it for a minute . . . Only someone who really loves you would make you undies. And I only make undies for those I really love. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Lets carry this just a bit farther since this is Valentine's week how about making a pair of undies for your loved ones. If you are short of time just get the fabric, cut them out and make them up before Easter.</div><div> </div><div>Look at the fun we had at Sew In.</div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165785196227957122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Pzph8Q6hl34/R7CORDcjkYI/AAAAAAAAAIc/eXZLJkuFboE/s200/P2090088.JPG" border="0" /></div><div></div><div>We had grand fun with lots of yummy goodies, cinnamon rolls, egg rolls, cookies, BLT spread with crackers!
