Sew Party Cafe'
 
    
Always a popular locale at the expo is the Sew Party Cafe'. This year we have some new and exciting projects that include a jazzy cell phone case, complete with a zippered pocket for credit cards, cash or ID, a large interior pouch for your cell phone and a D ring and strap to make it easier to keep close at hand. This project and all Sew Party projects are only $5. While at the expo you too can join Peter Fedor, the host of the cafe and learn some slick new sewing tricks while you make a  project you will finish and take home. 
 So You Want to Design Patterns

The printing division of  McCall Pattern Company  will be on hand in the NEW Social Media Lounge to speak with anyone who is curious about creating their own pattern line. Watch for more details in an upcoming article about the Social Media Lounge.
