Chicagoland Make and Take: Cape, Tunic and Cloak Clinic

[Ms. Wicked]

Feeling like you need a new cape?

Are your monsters and props not dressed as well as they could be?

If you want to learn how to sew up a basic Cape, Tunic or Cloak, the Chicagoland Make and Take is holding a sewing clinic.

Join us on Saturday, September 15 at 10:30 a.m. It will be at my house again. I'll provide food and drink for everybody.

Let me know if you want to attend. Everybody will need to bring your own fabric. PM me if you have any questions or if you need suggestions for a basic pattern and necessary fabric yardage.

Death Touch has an idea for a costume already!! We hope to see some of you here!

[trishaanne]

Wish I could make it. I'd love to learn to read a pattern. Maybe next summer!

[Vlad]

By all means Trish, learn to read, lol.

[trishaanne]

Boy.....I can really feel the love here! Sheesh!

[DeathTouch]

I will be there. Of course the custume is for my props. Here is the 2nd one that I am working on.

I tried to get my wife to come, but no go. :(

What's the name of this one, DT?

[DeathTouch]

Tommy...

[DeathTouch]

Oh, I also wanted to tell people that I am starting to put on my site Hauntseeker.com about Haunt groups as well. Maybe that might help spread the word.

[Ms. Wicked]

So Ken, has Karen tried out the new sewing machine yet?

You guys need to get cranking on your capes and cloaks!

[Vlad]

No Ms W, she's using it as a work table instead, but she's always cranky, ummmm, err, I mean cranking out props, yeah, that's what I meant, hehehe...

[DeathTouch]

Hey, Ms. W. Are we so a go for Sat. I have been trying to scramble and get Tommy half way finished so you can help me with him too. This is Tommy today.

[DeathTouch]

Hey Mrs wicked. Is there a way we can make it Sunday instead. I have family coming in that day. Surprise visit.

[Ms. Wicked]

No problem Mark.

The Bears game starts at 7:15 pm... if we're still working, I'll put it on in my sewing room, LOL.

[Sickie Ickie]

I have a vision of Mark's seems becoming zig-zagged and crooked with that game on! LOL

[DeathTouch]

My vision is worse. I see Ms Wicked with Tommy's head in her arms going for the goal post. I hope that didn't sound dirty. LOL

[Ms. Wicked]

:eek:

Hee hee - you guys are nuts - that's why I love yas!

So Bryce, are you coming?

[DeathTouch]

He has to get his wife's permission first. LOL My wife just wishes I would just drop dead. LOL

[DeathTouch]

Hey, I have a place that we can go on a road trip. The St. Charles Mall has this. I smell road trip for the Chicagoland make or take group.

[Sickie Ickie]

cool! No, I can't. Got stuff I gotta do around here. DT is correct. I have to pick my battles with my wife carefully right now. [sigh]

[DeathTouch]

Sickie, I am going thru a divorce right now. I say go for the throat. LOL For 6 years I played good DT. It didn't do me a lick of good. But I guess your best bet is to be good sickie. LOL

[Sickie Ickie]

Good Sickie, otherwise it's Ickie. :eek:

[Ms. Wicked]

I went to that one in the mall last year with the kids. It had a few good startles, but I think it's aimed towards families so it's not as scary as others I've been...

Well DT - I think Sunday it's just you and me. Is 10:30 a good start time?

If anybody else wants to join in, please do so!!!!!

[DeathTouch]

Yea 1030 is good with me. I will bring my groundbreakers and stuff.

[DeathTouch]

It was a short day for the Make and Take due to me. I just don't have the will power for sewing today. LOL. Sorry Ms. Wicked. I know you were really gun ho about teaching today. My mind was on over load after you talked about naps. Which is what I need now. LOL. Here are a few pictures of Ms. Wicked cutting the pieces out for my groundbreakers. Ms. Wicked was telling me about the Jersy Boys coming down next year. I told Ms. Wicked I might be able to invite this one lady who writes books about Halloween displays. She might like to few of the Jersey Boys...And I am not talking Bon Jovi either. LOL

[Ms. Wicked]

LOL Mark - not to worry!!!!

Sewing isn't much of a spectator sport. However, I hope that you pick up a few things in case you ever think you might want to try making something on your own.

Should have stayed for some chili - it turned out great!!!!!
