Amid all the bustle and distraction, a chance to pause and focus on what really matters. To give time and attention to needle and thread, family and friends, craft and conversation. The Small Craft September 8 pop-up shop and skillshare is a celebration of the hand stitch. And the hand stitch is a celebration of our true priorities.

For this month’s skillshare, we’re proud to welcome back Karen LePage of One Girl Circus. Karen is a talented seamstress, a crafty author, and a longtime supporter of Small Craft. With her help, you’ll make your own wrist cuff or headband, while learning to stitch designs and embellishments on knit fabrics. Stitch your own design, or choose one of the templates provided. Once you’ve learned the techniques in this workshop, you’ll be able to upcycle your favorite t-shirts into accessories, or mend-by-decoration the t-shirts you can’t bear to give up!
Materials Kit provided for $8. (Or bring your own jersey knit fabrics/old t-shirt, sewing needle, and button/craft or multiwork thread.)
September’s pop-up shop is by my marigold, aka Small Craft’s own Amy Cronkite! Amy is known, not only for her own craftsmanship, but also for her organizational work with Handmade Detroit and the Detroit Urban Craft Fair. She has a deep love of the Great Lakes, and it shows in every stitch of the embroideries she’s bringing to her shop. She’ll also have fabric necklaces and other handmade treasures, so be sure to give yourself plenty of time to browse.
This Saturday will also see the return of Detroit’s legendary street festival Dally in the Alley. If you’re spending the day at Dally, please feel free to stop by and visit us at the nearby Trumbullplex, where we’ll be sharing free coffee, tea, and homemade vegan baked goods.

Perhaps Yahoo is being deliberately irnioc. Until SFSE serves them with another Cease and Desist it’s Yahoo’s joke!Y’all may be interested in this:I read a historic reference to Stitch and Bitch groups in the article on the back page of Interweave Knits, Fall 2002 issue, Ravelings column, entitled A Knitting Circle , by Susan Lyndon it includes some other mentions of SNB along with this comment: > the only Stitch and Bitch club I knew was a group of women who feature prominently in Animal Dreams by Barbara Kingsolver. The LA women in my group hadn’t read the novel but the name is such a natural that they could have plucked it from the air = mentioned on the back page of Interweave Knits Spring 2003 by Gail Graemer in her Ravelings column called Following Grandma’s Way : > My Mother tells how every Tuesday my grandmother had her DSI or Damn Sit Around where she would knit with her friends .

Thank you for sharing these kind of wonderful discussions. In addition, the ideal travel along with medical insurance approach can often eradicate those concerns that come with traveling abroad. A medical emergency can before long become very expensive and that’s absolute to quickly put a financial impediment on the family finances. Having in place the suitable travel insurance deal prior to leaving is well worth the time and effort. Thank yo
