for the lecture/trunk show, Interfacing Lecture,
by Sara Lawson,
at Grace United Methodist Church, 300 E. Gartner, Naperville, IL
Discover which interfacing and purse hardware you need to make detailed and structured bags. Each attendee will go home with an interfacing charm pack of products that Sara Lawson uses to make her bags. Also, see Sara's trunk show of fabulous bags!
Her grandmother, mom, and aunt all sew. Sara's grandmother is very good at making and altering clothing. When Sara was in 3rd grade, she learned sewing basics when her mom taught her and her friend a little sewing class once a week. At the time, she loved all sorts of crafty things; therefore, sewing took a back seat for a long, long time. She began sewing again when her first child was born... At first it started out as a weekly goal to complete a little sewn project, but soon she was spending every free hour in the evening sewing. She was obsessed.

Sara is an avid bag maker, sewer and creator of the popular blog SewSweetness.com, has a passion for sewing and sharing her creativity and patterns with others. Her book, Big-City Bags, was published by Martingale on November 5, 2013. She is working on her second bag sewing pattern book.
Sara has often worked with the Pellon® company. These excerpts are from an interview with them:
Pellon®: Where do you find inspiration for your work?
Sara: I find inspiration from other sewing bloggers online! I am constantly finding out new techniques from others. I am also inpired by the broad range of fabrics available.
P: What does your creative process entail?
S: Usually, I will just start right in with cutting up my fabric. I will go with gut feeling on what fabrics or combinations will work for a particular project. If I’m working from a sewing pattern, I will usually read the pattern over at least 5 times so that I can visualize and understand each step.
