Cardigan in Calimesa

Today we made T-Shirt Cardigan from a pattern off of Nancy's Notions website.  The Cardigan is very very basic, but once done you can do a lot in regards to emblishments. 

Everyone is busy working on the project.

This is the 6 fat quarter bags we did last month.  Not everyone got thiers completed several had

questions about the eleastic and how it's placed.

Next month we are going to be doing bound pockets...now wouldn't that look great on our new cardigan?

Judy Kessinger T-Shirt Class

On March 30th Judy Kessinger of fitnicesystem.com taugh us her magic of fitting, sewing and designing t-shirts, plus how to convert them into a woven shirt, jacket etc.  We were all amazed at her tricks and technics.  One thing she tolds us was to PLAY with your fabric and you'd be surprised at the outcome.

Here she is measuring one of the ladies.  She sat down with each of us, one on one to discuss our exact needs for cutting the fabric out.

This is the display table of her pattern and the different cd for variations and her display of the outfits she has made with her t-shirt pattern.  Quite a collections of crazy ideas but to see how they work is stunning.

Here is Judy instrucing us on how to draw the pattern out on pattern paper.  Make the basic pattern add length to sleeves and hem line but be SURE to follow the correct measurement for around the body.  You can always make it smaller but can't add on.

You can see a picture of all the GREAT and different t-shirts made by the ladies of ASG Inland Empire at the ASGIE.org website under events.
