A letter from Angela Gladwin
Dear Atlantic Sewing Guild,
Sew, I would like to talk about Sewing Retreats, or the packing up of notions & supplies for those fun times. If you are like me at my first which I attended in May 2018, you will have lots of containers and bags to hold all these notions … and I do mean lots! I eventually narrowed it down to one bag, & sewed it up at that ASG Seaside Sewing event. I am very happy with the amount it will hold.
There are many bags of similar design out in the great wide net, under many recognizable names. The bag I started with was offered free to one & all (thank you Ruby). I have been re-tweaking the design & process over the summer as I make many more, including one for my sister-in-law. (It’s always Gifting Season!)
This is a great bag to use up those scraps that multiply when we’re not looking. For these, I used four different sewing themed fabrics. You can make one to colour coordinate your personal style. Or be wild and use up to 12 different fabrics!
Atlantic Sewing Guild has asked me to present this bag class for you
September 29/18.
Join us & sew up your own Seaside Bag to corral your sewing supplies & notions; beauty items; children’s toys. (see where I am going with this?—-Tame All The Things!)
See you soon!
Supply list will be provided with registration at ASG first meeting on September 13.

We sat in awe of the beauty and talent surrounding us, listening to Christina’s stories behind the designing and creating of her quilts, clothes, accessories and home decor creations.
This tiger was the most challenging. A photo of a tiger at the Thailand Tiger Temple was her inspiration. Note the messages nestled in the blades of grass .. some one heard the cries for help because the Tiger Temple has been permanently closed.
And those lovely quilts were the backdrop for our ‘Sew and Tell’ where we were shown shopping bags made from PC coffee pod bags; a couple of early submissions for the May Apron Challenge, a Chicken Quilt, a Jalie rain jacket (just in time for spring in Nova Scotia) and a couple of very, wearable dresses.
How lovely is Lorna’s trench coat? It is the Taylor Trench pattern by Rebecca Page
Her odyssey was roundly received and lauded as virtuous & just. Tomes were inscribed and hereafter to become part of true history & lore.
