Greetings all!

My husband Jeff and I will be hosting a workshop this Sunday afternoon, starting
around 2 and going until late afternoon/early evening. All of the details are
the same as before, though Jeff will be opening up the workshop for woodworking
projects. Benches for everybody! As this is the first open shop day, bring your
ideas or plans to start looking at. If you don't have ideas, Jeff has some
books that you can look at. When people do start using equipment, Jeff will put
out a donation jar (or something) to help defray the cost of blades, equipment
upkeep, etc.

On the sewing front, I'd especially like to invite those who attended the
fitting workshop, and would like help with the next steps of their dress, or
are stuck at a certain point. I won't be doing a LOT of jumping about, as my
back has been under distress this week, but I can still do a fair bit of
helping. As a sidenote, I've finally gotten around to webbing my dress fitting
demo. It can be found at
http://www.mathildegirlgenius.com/DressFitting/DressDemo.htm, or just at the
root http://www.mathildegirlgenius.com. I can help people with this, though we
can only get through one fitting at a time. Let me know if you're interested in
trying.

All are invited to work on a project, it doesn't have to be sewing or
woodworking. It just has to not let poison gasses into my home, etc. etc. I do
ask people to police their pins and other equipment, as Henry has started to
crawl.

Please email me off-list for address and directions.

See you then!
Mathilde
