NOTE: Thanks to all who spoke in favor of an overview\/report on the last day of Martha’s Market.\u00c2\u00a0 No one chimed in that the topic was overworked, so here is the final installment of my report from the front line of sewing fun.~~~~~~~<\/em><\/p>\n

This was another great day, though relatively short.\u00c2\u00a0 I was so tired that I chose to sleep in, even though it mean missing Louise Cuttings 8:00 class. Her One Seam Pants <\/a>pattern has always intrigued me and I thought I’d check it out.\u00c2\u00a0 But it will have to be another time.<\/p>\n

So I slipped in to Connie Palmer’s<\/a> class\u00c2\u00a0 Connie\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Techniques & Notions Know-How<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Take your sewing up a few notches by learning the favorite techniques and notions that are Connie\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s favorites when she creates her sewing masterpieces. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll see how she uses notions; whether \u00e2\u20ac\u0153tried and true\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153new kid on the block,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll learn how to make each and every technique easier and with perfect results every time. ..<\/em><\/p>\n

WOW!\u00c2\u00a0 Connie scopes out all the latest notions and then applies them to her dynamite techniques.\u00c2\u00a0 She creates more beautiful things in less time than anyone I know.\u00c2\u00a0 As this blond whirlwind said, when she sews, she likes to GO!\u00c2\u00a0 And not stop to wait for something to dry or to spend time calculating the distance between buttonholes.<\/p>\n

Spaghetti bias is so big right now and Connie is all about it.\u00c2\u00a0 Fasturn Tubes have been around for a long time, but it took Connie’s samples and tips for me to board that bandwagon.\u00c2\u00a0 Of course, in her insistence on perfect everything, she has embraced the Fasturn Tiger Eye.\u00c2\u00a0 It sounded good when she described it, though I wasn’t at all sure how it would work.\u00c2\u00a0 But I bought it.<\/p>\n
