Linda Lee to Teach at Waechters June 23 and 24.

Linda Lee will be teaching at Waechter's June 23 and 24. Linda is the owner and designer of Sewing Workshop Patterns. These are some of our most popular patterns. They have a very high fashion look. Linda has a great sense of style. Her patterns are different than anything else on the market. She is an expert seamstress and a super teacher. I have enjoyed taking classes from her in other venues.

Linda will be teaching several different topics. We will have a trunk show. Let Linda advise you to find the patterns that are most flattering to you. She will also give classes on working with silk as well as mastering miters. Her final afternoon and evening class will be a sit and sew where you can get help with any of her patterns. Linda has graciously agreed to stay into the evening to help our students. Check out our website @www.waechters.com to read the details of all her classes. Just click on the classes and worshop section on our main menu and you will find all our classes and a major explanation of Linda Lee's plans for her classes while she is here.

Sign up online or call us at 828-252-2131 and reserve your space today. Come enjoy an expert teacher who is nationally known and recognized. Happy Sewing, Joyce

As the Bolt Turns Or the Silk Worm

Many things are happening at Waechter's Silk Shop. We are excited about all of them.
We have tons of new summer cottons, linens and beautiful silks. More Vietnamese silks arrive on Monday.

Our Website is growing daily and in the next couple of weeks we will complete our heirloom store within our store website. We have loads of garments out for articles in magazines next spring. That will be wonderful to see our own creations in print. Our children's sewing expert Betsy Sherman has been cranking out the samples all spring. Fortunately, for us two magazines thought our children's samples were as exciting as we did.

Our time at work is improving because we have new office furniture that helps us all be more efficient. We are enjoying our new ergonomic computer stations that help our wrists to stay in peak condition for sewing.

I have mastered the Oxford pant from Loes Hinse. I love this newer silhouette and will be making all my pants from this pattern. Stop by and hopefully I will be wearing them.

Next week is my birthday. How did I get this old so fast. I know many of you know about our birthday advantage club. You join our lifetime club for $25.00 and you get special sales and a birthday week discount. Well since it is my birthday we are giving out a 15% discount for anyone mentioning it is my birthday during next week. Call us and order, or stop by and see our new arrivals. Mention my birthday and get a 15% discount off your purchases. Sale items are included.
Have fun and have a piece of cake and champagne in celebration of my birthday. Better yet have cake and champagne while you are sewing something wonderful. Just one glass of champagne or you have to stop sewing.

Happy Birthday to all my June birthday friends and Happy sewing. Joyce
