Hartford Stitch: Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall!

We have now been open 3 months and we can't thank you all enough for the warm welcome we have received! We've been tweaking our offerings based on your feedback and can't wait to roll out our fall classes.

But first, here's a little peek back at our summer parties! We had the best sewists at these parties, from the "Are you sure you can teach ANYONE to sew? Because I'm not artistic." to the "I worked as an upholsterer for years." and everyone in between. All of our participants came willing to learn, or fine tune their skills or just have a good time.

Our first party, a beach tote party in a private home...

To our first public party at Imagine Studio...

I'm a former wedding planner and can't pass up an opportunity to put together a little tablescape. Pink yard flamingos, peach iced tea and some vintage linens set the summer theme. And Eileen rocked her sewing!

Then we wrapped up the summer with a twist on the beach tote at Blaze and Bloom (part of 485 New Park)...

I was downright giddy setting up in here. When Tracey of Blaze and Bloom told me I could use the existing table and chairs I did a little happy dance!

In keeping with the Blaze and Bloom spirit we used some vintage fabrics that Sara and I rescued from an estate sale a couple of years ago. I was sad to see them go but loved how they paired up with the rope handles and our Art Gallery Fabric selections.

And the best part? We have a whole roster of fall parties and classes on the schedule and in the works!
