CAB Stands for.

CAB Goes Revvin In 2007
Elections are over and the CAB engines have been recharged, ready for another year of service. NeedleNerd (our newsletter mascot) has kept an eye on the members surveys from the last few events and helped develop a list of programs we hope members will explore on the 2007 Chapter and Neighborhood Group (NG) activity calendars. As mentioned previously, ASGs current goals are focused on increasing younger generations interest in sewing, attracting them to the guild and identifying better ways to retain all members nationally. For a take on how sewing appeals to todays younger adult, read the story on page 16 from Julie Scott. In line with ASGs goals, our chapter adopted the slogan Playing TAG (Tell Another Generation) and used this emphasis at the November Demo Day event. To support the exposure of youth to sewing and continue sharing ASG with more adult sewers, two special door prizes (Janome Sew Mini sewing machines) were awarded during the event. For the member inviting the most nonmembers under the age of 18, the winner was a mixed group of Saddlebrooke NG members and Teens Sew Cool instructors. They combined their efforts to sponsor 7 youth guests. In turn, they gave their Janome prize to one of the Teens Sew Cool youth who did not have a machine of her own (see pg 13). The second Sew Mini machine was awarded to Leone Newman (right) for inviting the most nonmembers over the age of 18. Her efforts supported spreading the word about sewing and of ASG which eventually promotes increased membership overall.

This past year was a big one for recruiting new chapter members. The Presidents mesLeone Newman sage on pg. 3 further addresses this, but we now face a bigger challenge of how to retain them all! Research is being done by ASG on this subject, but we on the CAB think the secret is getting more chapter members involved in activities. While many shy away from the word volunteer, once a person takes that step and nds out how it makes a positive difference in keeping the chapter and sewing going, members usually see the fruit of their efforts and rewards follow from there.

Chapter Advisory Board Meetings

Presidents Comments

What a great beginning to a new chapter year! Since the last newsletter, we added another 34 names to the membership roster from late Oct through the end of Dec 06. Our summer/fall Half Price Membership Campaign really boosted our enrollment which now totals 384 members. In July of 2006, we were at 264. With the addition of 120 members since then, thats a 45% growth rate over 6 months! Say hello to the newest members listed below. Now what? Well, the next logical step is to entice and retain everyone with programs that meet members needs. Thats an awesome task! Someone asked me, How active is our chapter at events and Neighborhood Groups (NG)? We currently average about 5-18 attendees at most of the monthly NG meetings and about 60 at most chapter-wide events. Demo Day is always an exception with >100 who attend. This year, we had 205! We hope to see the average attendance grow over time. With so many new people on board, well do our best to keep up with the demand for a wider variety of requested programs. Speaking of programs, I want to thank everyone who contributed toward making our November Demo Day the biggest success ever. Many ideas came from the surveys, and were in the process of implementing your suggestions. I want to stress that we may be asking many of you for help in the coming year to organize these efforts. With such a vast geographical region to support, were going to need assistance to make things happen. We hope to get a chapter web site established Keeping Sewing in the next few months so that faster communication and event notications can be accomin Motion. plished more efciently. Until then, stay tuned to your newsletter for the latest and greatest we CAB Driver Debbie have to offer. As always, Im parked at the CAB Stand, ready to serve your sewing needs.

We would like to review our requirement for reporting chapter community service hours to ASG Hdqts. These are hours members donate toward community outreach sewing or the preparation for such activity. Examples of reportable hours include actual sewing time making charity items, purchasing materials, fabric prep (laundering, cutting), or planning and delivery time of items made. An average of one small project, like a toiletry bag or stocking is 4 hrs. A small quilt may take about 10-20 hrs. depending on size. Other reportable hours involve teaching others anything about sewing; i.e. youth or other outreach programs. Any volunteered hrs. spent in this area qualies.
Please HELP Us Report All You DO!

Community Service Hours

or jodyelmer22@msn.com
Being a non prot organization, ASG community service reports are helpful in writing script for public awareness statements and magazines, member recruitment or securing additional funding from corporate stakeholders. Much of the info we gather about donated hours comes from the NG Leaders who obtain it from members at monthly meetings. Not all members attend NG meetings and wed like to hear from EVERYONE, so heres what we ask.
When you sew for charity, spend time planning, delivering, buying or preparing materials, or teach outreach sewing programs, please write down the approximate hours it took, list what you made and how many (like 5 quilts, 10 toys, 18 clothing items), and where it went (either to foster children or to a specic organization like Sheriffs dept.). Send that information to Liz Macijeski, NG Coordinator, either by phone or email. You can also give the info to any NG Leader to include on their reports. We ask that you dont report the hours twice, i.e. to more than one source. All reported hours ultimately go to Liz, although she and all NG leaders collect those facts. Their contact info is listed on pg 5.
For questions, contact Liz Macijeski: Ph: 825-2937 lounliz@wbhsi.net

Chapter Gets Bowled Over
Fabric bowls have been the craze for quite awhile. The Tucson Chapter has been busy making them in several styles, both individually and in groups. The Westside Neighborhood Group (NG) made them as a group project and in January, members in Sierra Vistas NG got in the act. Members everywhere donated materials and made bowls for the Holiday Luncheon as door prizes, one of which, is pictured above. See story, page 20-21.

Westside NG Bowls for the Holidays

by Millie Bentley

TOOT the TOTE Contest!
Read the yer insert in this newsletter describing a fun, imprompteu contest. This is designed to inspire your creativity and get something in return, while at the same time support a chapter fundraiser.
Eager members lled the Westside NG meeting room in October to create fabric bowls for the holidays. Most everyone had seasonal fabrics cut out and ready to sew, but patterns and irons were available, along with extra fabric for those who managed to get everything there but the material! So enthusiastic was the group that Barbara Hovagian forgot to ask for the usual Above: Left, Miriam Sheridan show and share, and led the has one bowl half completed. group instruction as members Right is Barbara Hovagian, NG red up leader and instructor for the day. their machines and got to work. It was interesting to see how different fabrics, threads and designs could be used to create unique effects. Barbara may have created a monster, because the bowls were easy and beautiful, leaving all with the spark to make many more!

Interview by Debbie Janson

Jordan Newhouse - Age 14

As a rst time guest attendee to the Demo Day event, Jordan Newhouse got a chance to see how ASG works. She was enthralled with the many activities and excited to meet people who understood her sewing language. My mom doesnt sew and has difculty relating when I talk to her about my latest project, said Jordan. She joined ASG that day and looks forward to meeting more advanced seamstresses from whom she can learn. And I cant wait to take advantage of those ASG discounts! Jordan added. When Jordan was 2, her grandmother let Jordan sit on her lap and watch while she sewed. At age 7, her great aunt began teaching her more, at which time Jordan made her rst project; a hand sewn, nine-patch pillow. She entered it in the local county fair and won a second place ribbon. Jordan has never taken any formal sewing courses but took a class through her home school group last year. I mostly teach myself and learn from books, Jordan said. I have two sisters, ages 7 and 10, who are also great sewers!
ed with simple pillows and doll clothes and advanced to making clothes for herself and others, mostly for family. She prefers making apparel, but also likes doing a bit of fancy work. She enjoys making dolls, toys and working on period costumes and has made many items to sell at church craft fairs and other events. Many things I make are for others, and I enjoy making things for charities, too, said Jordan. I always save the tiniest of scraps, as I dont like to see them go to waste! Having developed a recent interest in quilting, Jordan started a charity group in her church called Reach Out. (story, pg 16). Pictured below is Jordan teaching others how to get started on quilt blocks. Id like to learn more about quilting, especially by hand, Jordan said. When asked what were her least favored areas of sewing, Jordan answered, Mending! I would rather make a new garment than mend the old one! I really dont like ripping out those seams!

Jordan has tried all kinds of sewing, although it is not her only creative outlet. She indulges in other artistic expressions including many needle art skills, drawing, writing, painting, ceramics, and cooking As a young sewing enthusiast, Jordans adwith natural foods. Her sewing life start- vice for a new beginner is, Practice makes perfect, and nd a good mentor who really knows what they are teaching.
Jordan wants to express her appreciation for her parents who have been the primary force behind her successful sewing endeavors. She says they have encouraged her all along, even when she thought she couldnt do it, helped her stay on top of sales to ensure she got the right stuff, and sacriced home ofce space to set up her sewing area. She also thanks Nancy Record, the chapter member who sponsored her entry into ASG at Demo Day and introduced her to some wonderful ladies in the guild!

Frances Zapotocky

Interview by Millie Bentley
Age 89 - born Aug 3, 1917
Frances Zapotocky, daughter of Russian immigrants, began her rst needlework 86 years ago. Under her mothers guidance, a talented seamstress, she learned embroidery, knitting and crochet. Her mother, a perfectionist, would not allow Frances to do less than impeccable work requiring her to take out missed stitches until her project was awless. Although her mother had a treadle machine, Frances was not allowed to use it; all her sewing was done by hand. Her rst machine was a White; only a straight stitch model. When Frances was ready to marry after the end of WW II, fabric was still scarce. Consequently, her wedding dress was made of white upholstery satin. Besides making clothes for herself and family, she also did weaving and quilting. Because of her small size, Frances was constantly altering ready-to-wear clothing which was not as fun as designing her own fashions. One disaster she remembers is attempting a tailored jacket for her husbandthe buttonholes and buttons did not match up. It was something she did not enjoy making, so her mantra of turning mistakes into new projects did not apply at that time; she never tried it again. Frances has tried sewing for others but found it exasperating as people changed their minds and she was constantly ripping out stitches. The customers also didnt expect to pay her what her time was worth. Once again, frustration outweighed the pleasure of a nely nished product. Her favorite sewing machine is now a Bernina purchased in 1990 or 92. The model is no longer made, but she loves it. While Frances admits to owning 3 different embroidery machines (that she rarely uses, since free motion embroidery is her favorite type of sewing), she couldnt come up with a total of actual machines in her home. Over the years she has purchased cheap machines needing restoration that she xed up and either sold or gave away. Some of those may still be lurking somewhere. She loves machines! Frances advice to beginning sewers is to get a basic machine that has a zigzag stitch and allows you to drop the feed dogs. Start simple, learn the fundamentals, be creative and turn your mistakes into something you planned all along. Enjoy your creativity and you, too may be sewing well into your eighties! Frances has been a member of ASG since 1997 and attends the West side Neighborhood Group meetings.

Florence Madas

Interview by Sue Moyer
Florence has been an ASG member only 2 years, but her sewing experience began over 80 years ago. As soon as she was old enough to hold a needle, Florences mother showed her how to embroider pillowcases and towels. Learning to sew was expected in her day and later, Florence advanced to using a Singer Treadle machine. When her daughter was a baby, Florence would put her in a play pen and sit alongside mending large bundles of clothing for a dry cleaners who needed repair work. With the money she earned through alterations, she bought her rst sewing machine from Sears. To date, Florence has tried every type of sewing and enjoys it all. She considers herself a perfectionist and never wants the nal project to look homemade! I dont like sloppy work, she said. If it isnt right, Ill rip it out and do it again until it IS. Thats important. Its those nishing touches that make a garment look special. Florence believes the biggest force that has changed the sewing industry in the last 10 years is the Embroidery machine. She hasnt yet tried to use one and says with a giggle, Perhaps if I were just a bit younger.As it is, my family will have enough to get rid of after Im gone, so why buy anything else? To those new to sewing, Florences advice is, Buy a simple pattern, study it and try to understand it before you cut anything out. The newer patterns with all those lines can be very time consuming and hard to follow. She further stated that understanding a pattern allows for more control on the outcome of a garment. Florence is open to new ideas and loves to sew anything. She is willing to help whomever asks for her assistance and will work with any sewer to help make his or her project look the best it can be. As a result of her exposure to ASG, she has recently tried quilting and has subscribed to 3 new quilting magazines. Her next goal is to do that motion stuff! (free motion quilting). Florence enjoys her time with ASG and likes the workshops, sharing of ideas and gathering of friends. She joined ASG in 2004 and is a member of the Saddlebrooke Satellite Neighborhood Group.

Julie Scott - Age 30

pictured center left with her 2 children
Childcare is a denite player in all this. I have been to many play groups where Moms get together for adult conversation and let the kids play. I think having a sewing class where childcare is offered would be a denite plus! I am just getting back into sewing since my daughter started preschool. While shes at school, I get some sewing done. Finding time to sew is a priority for me. It is part of taking care of myself which is easy to forget with young kids and lifes demands. Many young women dont think about this and put themselves at the bottom of the list. The rst part of sewing is getting excited about a project. That makes all the learning and work part of the fun and seeing it all come together. Even if someone could provide childcare and a machine for me, I would still have to have a project in mind to keep my interest engaged. I am really enjoying meeting others in ASG who love to sew. My projects look more professional inside and out, and it feels good. That would be my advice to inspire others my age to get into sewing.the satisfaction you get once youve nished a project that looks good and becomes part of your life.

About the Annual Sewing Retreat June 8-10, 2007
For those who have never attended a sewing retreat, its an opportunity for members to get away from it all and sew with friends for 3 days, uninterrupted. Members may also swim, read or lounge about with no demands on their time but their own. Many may be wondering why two messages were emailed earlier about this years retreat. Tentative arrangements were made with the Hilton/El Conquistador, but changes in price structures and other factors caused substantial cost increases. We were unable to negotiate reasonable nancial terms for a retreat. Luckily, we were able to reserve the Windmill Inn in St Phillips Plaza (corner of River and Campbell) and at a considerable cost savings. The Windmill Inn has great sleeping rooms, all suites, complete with living room, bedroom with 2 double beds, bath, small kitchen with microwave, fridge (no stove), and 2 TVs. The room rate is $75.00 per night, single or double occupancy. Included, each occupant receives a complimentary serve-yourself breakfast of pastries, dairy products, fruits, cereal, hard boiled eggs, coffee, etc, catered in the lobby. The sewing room costs extra but will only amount to one charge of about $25.00 per attendee for the entire 3 days. There are no formal dining facilities on site, so members can bring their own food, eat anywhere they want, or dine in area restaurants. We had to make one compromise. The sewing space available is only 1000 sq ft (same as Rex Ranch last year). That will seat 22-25 comfortably with the 8x18 tables they offer. Outlets are embedded in the oor every 6 ft, so minimal extension cords are needed. With a little give and take and containment of clutter, we could accommodate more sewers if people are willing to squeeze. If not, the retreat will have to be limited to 25 attendees. Retreat application forms will be available in the May issue of the chapter newsletter. For a peek at the amenities, visit www.windmillinns.com and navigate to the Tucson location.
