The scheduled Tour of the Avenir had to be cancelled.  Regular meeting will feature dress forms.

The Colorado ASDP regrets to announce that, do to circumstances beyond our control, the scheduled Tour of the Avenir Museum on April 22, 2019 had to be cancelled.

In its place, we will have a special presentation about Dress Forms at our regular meeting time of 9:30 at the Koelbel Library in Centennial.

Alison Hughes of beatriceforms.com will talk about the custom dress forms her company makes to fit your form using a special phone app and an automated cutting system.

If you might be interested in getting a form for yourself, send your waist, hip, and bust measurements to Karen at karessewunique@gmail.com; Alison will bring the proper garments for pictures needed to make your form.

Visitors are welcome to join us.

Our meeting in July will be on July 23rd. Instead of the planned movie, we will have an extended show-and-tell session. We will meet at Koelbel Library in the Living Room (not our usual room). Please bring at least one of your sewing projects as show and tell. This will be a round table discussion to share techniques and ideas.

Board members please plan on staying for the board meeting afterwards – we need to prepare for the September annual meeting.

We will meet at the Avenir Museum’s main building at 216 East Lake Street. It contains three of the five exhibits. 

The museum opens at 11am, so we need to leave the Denver area around 9:30am.   Please try to contact other members so we can carpool.  I am happy to drive a couple more people in my car, just let me know so we can meet. Please let me know if you plan to come, so that I know to expect you. 

From Denver, head north on I-25 to Exit 268 – Prospect Rd. 

Turn left, so you are going west on Prospect. 

Turn right on Remington St, so you are going north.

Turn right on the next street – East Lake St and you are there!

Following the museum, we will eat lunch at a local restaurant and visit The Zipper Lady Warehouse.  Plan on this being an all day trip.  Hope everyone can come.  This is such a treasure and great place for learning. 

Thanks, Jan McK
