Dust off that sewing machine!

If you live in the Northern NJ/New York area, and are free Tuesday afternoons, starting October 19th, I’ll be teaching an eight week class called Jumpstart Your Sewing Skills at the Newark Museum Arts Workshop. Here are the particulars:

Jumpstart Your Sewing Skills

with Daryl Lancaster
Is the sewing machine in your closet covered with dust bunnies? Have you spent a fortune on alterations lately? Is your closet packed with clothing that is slightly outdated, that maybe needs altering, but is too good to give away? Then now is the time to dust off that machine and get re-acquainted. This course is structured to meet individual needs and help with everything from simple alterations to full garment make-overs. Learn to sew clothes from scratch or tailor for that special elegant touch. Machines provided (if you don’t have one); course limited to eight. All levelsEight Tuesdays, October 19–December 14, 1–4 pm Member: $207, Non-member: $230, Materials: $10

In other news…  I’m stressed.  Are we surprised?  This has been a fire extinguisher week, you know, where you run around trying to put out fires which spring up when your back is turned?  I’m almost packed, heading to Boulder Colorado tomorrow.  Finished up the run of scarves I had on the loom, printed packed and shipped 60 pounds of handouts and monographs to Colorado.  Dealt with the stupidest stuff, like a missing insurance card, so my son can’t get the truck inspected, car repairs, bicycle repairs, like the rod that holds the pedal falls off and rolls down the storm drain.  This was an eye rolling kind of week, the kind you just get through one hour at a time.  You feel like you are swimming in Jello…

Still, no one died, and everyone is doing what they should be doing, my husband is stuck in Riyadh Saudi Arabia, on a job that won’t end, (which is the source of some of my stress, I need him home and I really miss him…) but he is fine and will eventually be home to close up the pool (note to son, while I’m away please keep cleaning the leaves out of the pool), and in fact something really really wonderful happened this week, I had a meeting with the department heads at County College of Morris about teaching a class there next spring based on my Fiber Boot Camp, which I’m so excited about I can’t focus on what I’m suppose to be doing.  There is no guarantee they will accept the proposal, but I’m gonna try…
