There is never just one time of the year to sew. Many sew more in the cold wet months, but it is something that
can be done all year. Many sewers start their Christmas projects in July hence why we often do a Christmas in
July event. If you have a big project or several to do for Christmas you need to start them early in order to get
them done in time. We have our Christmas fabric scheduled already to arrive in July so you can get started.
Have a trip planned? Need a swimsuit cover up or a comfortable maxi dress for your trip? Come and see what we
have to offer you with fashionable printed knits that would be perfect for a cover-up, maxi dress, t-shirt and sew
much more. Need some help sewing one of these items? Sign up for one of the Sundrop Sewing Workshops. We
offer workshops on Tuesdays both in the morning and evening. You can work at your own pace and the instructor is
there to help you if needed. This is a very social sewing class so come and join the fun!!
We have some great new printed polyester fabrics that would make perfect cushion covers, bags, placemats etc. We
are always bringing in new fabrics so be sure to drop in and see what we have in store.
Thinking about a new machine? It is a perfect time to purchase your next machine, both Husqvarna Viking and
Pfaff have a flyer out in May and that means great savings for you!! We will email the flyer in May and you
will find it posted on our website at www.sundroptextiles.com
We love to hear from you, if you have ideas and/or requests just drop us an email or post it on our Facebook page
and we will take a look at it.
April is in the process of developing a series of quilt classes that will teach you some of the basics and beyond. It
will be something you can follow from the first block or jump in when the technique appeals to you. This series will
start in our fall newsletter, we are very excited about it. It will be a fun journey, watch for more details coming
soon!!
Sew let your creativity grow at Sundrop.
Happy Sewing, look forward to seeing you in the store - Della.
DAYTIME SEWING WORKSHOP- All Skill Levels Welcome
We have had a request for a daytime sewing workshop for those
that can’t make the regular evening sewing workshop. This class
will be the same format and will be perfect for all levels of sewers.
You choose your project and we provide the instructor to help you
along the way. Great for beginners that want to learn to sew and
also for intermediate to advanced sewers that want to try something
new and would like someone to help them over the bumps. Maybe
you would just like to spend a few hours with other sewers enjoying
this great hobby.

Serger Sanity
Sewing Machine Cover
Is your Serger making you insane trying to figure out the
loopers, tensions and differential? Then let us help you with
serger Sanity. We will walk you through all the basics of your
serger so you can learn to enjoy this great machine. Please be
sure your serger is in good working order before class.
This class is open to all makes and models. Please bring your
manual and all accessories that came with your machine.
This fully lined custom made cover will fit your machine perfectly.
Jennifer has developed the cover based on the photo on the new
Sew Bertha embroidery design card. But you do not need to have
an embroidery machine to take the class. You will custom fit this
cover to your particular machine. This project will have great
techniques like a zippered top that allows room for your handle or
can be completely zipped closed to keep the dust out. You will
also insert some piping, apply binding and pockets. The pockets
are a perfect place to stitch out the Sew Bertha designs. Drop in
and see our sample in store now.

techniques that will make a huge difference in the final outcome.
You will make pages of samples that you stitch out on your own
serger. You can then place them in a binder for your future
reference. In order to get the most out of this class you should be
comfortable with threading and rethreading your serger. This

Sew Along With Me Series
We are starting a new style of class where you sew
along with the instructor. We will choose a project
like a Jalie pattern and the instructor will sew along
with you so we are all doing the same thing together
and that way no one gets lost or feels left behind. It
will be a fun way to sew and then when the instructor
has a great tip to make a step easier then everyone
will be in the same place to see it first hand. We will
change the set up of the classroom for this class so
it will be more intimate.
We will be sending out project dates and information
in emails and on Facebook.

We have more classes coming. Keep a look out for
emails and Facebook updates to find out more

Embroidery Basics - The Next Step
Design Positioning / Precise Positioning
Now that you have worked with the basics here is the next level
for you. Now that you know how to set up for embroidery and find
your designs we will work on some other types of stitch outs. We
will do an appliqué in the hoop, endless design and a cutwork
design. These all require you to do a little more than just watch
the machine stitch out the design and will allow you another level
of embellishment with your machine.
