I'd like to say "THANK YOU" to the Albuquerque chapter of the American
Sewing Guild for having me at their last meeting.  This is the nicest,
most interesting and inspiring group of people I've had the pleasure of
meeting in quite some time.  

Halloween is coming up fast and we want to make your costume ideas a
reality.  Contact Michele Buchanan, tmbuchs@gmail.com, to sign up for
her series of classes starting October 1st.

The bra class is scheduled for October 15th and 16th.  We are collecting
deposits ($50) at the shop.  We have had a *huge* response to this class
so get yours in soon.  Only the first eight people get in.

Another fine couture class is in the making -- we want to do a lined
jacket, beginning to end.  Over the course of 8 to 10 weeks you will 
construct a stylish, comfortable and perfectly fitted garment.  Plese 
contact me (liz@nobhillfabrics.com) if you're interested.


NEW ARRIVALS!!!!
================

*  Boucle!!!  Great for those styling jackets or couch throws and pillows.

*  Suede cloth, corduroy and twills, nice for fall.

*  Trims and some polyester blouse weight prints, very vintage-like.

*  More linens are on the way -- some prepared for dying as well as more
   of the gauze prints.

=======================================================================

OCTOBER
=========

Do you have an idea for a special costume or fabulous garb, but do not
know how to make that vision a reality?  Come to our brainstorming
session.  Michele Buchanan, costumer to the Albuquerque stars, will
be on hand to help actualize your dreams.  You will come away with a
plan and/or pattern suited to your specific needs.

After we have gone through the hard work of preparing your pattern
and itemizing supplies, come to four follow-up sessions where the
magic happens.  During each of these, we will help you build your
personal fantasy.  Whether you will wow them at MidWinter or watch
your child scare the neighbors on Halloween, this fun and productive
stitch-n-bitch is for you.

Dates: October 1st, 8th, 22nd and 29th. (No meeting on the 15th)
Time:  2:00pm-4:00pm
