For this meeting we are each making a FREE Pattern off the internet out of our stash. Bring it finished or unfinished To our August meeting along with company and site you got it from. This is so we can discuss the various sites of independent pattern makers, pros, cons and get all of us acquainted with what is out there.
If you are unsure about printing patterns at home, the trick is to MAKE SURE you have print out set for 100%. I personally have had good luck with both kids and my size on most of them.
Minerva.com is currently offering a McCalls t=shirt pattern for free (those seams are 5/8) most off internet seem to be 1/4 to 1/2 so check instructions for the one you decide to make.
I will attach a listing that we handed out at our July meeting.

FIELD TRIP PLANNED
Those that wish to see the Japanese Textile Exhibit at the Minneapolis Institute of Art are planning to go Aug 18th. Cost is $20.00 for the exhibit, which comes highly recommended. Let me know if you plan to attend so we can arrange to carpool. Parking is available but at a cost. We must be there at 1:45 to be included in the tour with a guide. See GroupWorks for details.
Looking forward to seeing everyone and their creations on the 16th and again on the 18th
