National Smocking Month

February is National Smocking Month.

 

Is your chapter hosting an event to promote SAGA, smocking and the chapter? My chapter is having a display at a local library. We display small smocked items like Christmas ornaments and baby dresses. We also add copies of SAGANews and books. The locked display cabinet is right at the front entrance where library patrons queue up to check out their books. We also leave SAGA brochures. Our display is always popular and we have had interest in joining our chapter. In fact our newest member 'found' us because of the display and a demonstration we also did at the library. This year we hope to teach a class at the library at the end of February.

Let me know what your chapter is/has done to promote smocking. Email me at saganews@smocking.org and include photos. I will include it in SAGANews Chapter Chatter.
