Oops, I'm smiling too hard again! Trying one on over my dress. |
I planned to blog that I was the presenter for the Haute Couture Club of Chicago September 2017 meeting the day after; instead, I waiting nearly two weeks before attempting to say anything. My initial thought was to moved forward with finishing or starting other projects. For most of the summer, I sewed mostly shirts in an effort to show different styles for the presentation and am ready to work on some different garments. But today I decided to do one last summer post on shirts.
I am truly thankful to the HCC Board of Directors and the members for allowing me to present, sharing my shirt making adventure. Indeed, it was an honor and privilege. Close to the end of my journey, I questioned whether or not I had enough to talk about and if I was worthy to present to this very talented group of sewists. So, of course, I was a little nervous. But as it turned out, my presentation was well received; and the members will make shirts to wear to the Holiday luncheon in December.
So here are a few more pictures from the presentation, courtesy of Susan Gerbosi.

Near the beginning of my talk, I showed this Cennetta creation from my very early sewing days (1974) when I first started sewing on a machine.
My shirts pile at the end of my presentation. |
Thank you to everyone who continues to stop by my little corner of the cyberspace. I hope I didn't put you on shirt overload. And a very special thanks to the HCC Board of Directors and members.
Happy Sewing!

DeleteI've been admiring all the shirts you've shown here. So many wonderful ideas. It must be a relief, though, to move on to other things to sew.
