Next meeting:

Paper patterns have been around for decades—and some of us have the bins of patterns to show for it. As technology has advanced everything forward, so has our options on how to obtain and use a garment pattern. Patterns can now be projected directly onto fabric so there’s no need to store all that paper with tissue patterns than can barely be put back in the envelope the same way it came out. 

Danielle Vega’s presentation will cover how to use PDF sewing patterns. She will also demonstrate how to calibrate and use a projector for sewing, how to pick the best projector for your needs, and discuss some tips and tricks for success. The use of projectors eliminates the need to print, cut, and assemble paper patterns. It also reduces the amount of space we need to store patterns and the amount of time it takes to cut the fabric for a project.
