We all have people who we call our friends but not all of us have sewing friends close to home. Is there anybody in Phoenix who gives fitting lessons? I really need the help! Other than that I think this is a great forum to meet sewing friends, so how 'bout it? Anybody in Phoenix who loves to sew?

Everyone's friendly and helpful. You'll learn tons here, I know I have! I also live in the valley, but don't know anyone who sews, which is a little lonely as there is no one I can talk sewing with Anyhoo, I don't know who gives fitting classes, but maybe some of us can get together and help each other out??

I am in Gilbert and I am the only one that I know that sews. I am in desperate need of fitting classes as well but haven't been sucessful in finding any. I did pick up a copy of Nancy Zieman's book Fitting Finesse and I am working on a pattern with the pivot and slide method right now. I hope it turns out! I bought some awesome knit fabric at SAS and I hope I am not wasting it.

How very familiar, as I am lonely sewer only in that nobody seems to appreciate my fine accomplishments as much as me! I am trying to learn FBA from Fast Fit by Sandra Betzina (awesome), Fit for Real People, (which has a lot of tissue fitting that I dont feel is working for me) and The Perfect Fit by Singer. All very useful I am sure, but I am now aware that all my reading is making this FBA a bigger chore than it needs to be. I want some hands on advice, well maybe not hands-on the FBA but you know what I mean I live in Mesa and would love to meet to fit patterns and such. I think you can email me personally if you are interested.

The most amazing thing I heard is that they sell fabric "by pound". Is it true?

I haven't been in many years, but I think one of the stores had a fire in it this past year. So does anybody have a plan? ------ "framed" was taken
frame Advanced USA Member since 2/19/04 Posts: 2039	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 4/19/08 4:47 PM I'm just going to add this link in case anyone is interested. Phoenix Area ASG meetings I am not a member of ASG and I have never been to a meeting. They don't seem to concentrate on garment sewing, but I could be wrong. Just wanted to offer the information. ------ "framed" was taken
strasfamily Advanced Beginner AZ USA Member since 4/11/07 Posts: 100	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 4/19/08 5:23 PM I have only been to the Phoenix SAS once and it is definitely worth the trip. I bought about 7 yards of fabric for around $15. One of the 2 yards of fabric that I bought was only $2 because it didn't weigh alot and was only 1.99/pound. It is kind of overwhelming though - too many choices. I heard there is one in Tempe too? Will have to check that out.

Unfortunately, they meet in the mornings of weekdays when I have to work. BTW, I used to be a "cheesehead". :)
