Essential Items for the St. Louis Retreat!

It is not long now before the second SAGA Retreat of 2017 in St. Louis, Missouri! I will be busy working taking photos and such for SAGA and SAGANews at this Retreat and hope to see many of you as I walk around the classes each day!

I know many of you have attended SAGA Conventions or Retreats before, but it never hurts to be reminded of some essential items that you will need and may forget to pack (Note to Past President, Lisa Hawkes, who forgot to read item 5 before she left for Bedford Glen!).

1. Basic Sewing Supplies

2. Writing materials and tools.

3. Name labels for your raffle tickets (or I will have some you can use :) )

4. Tote bag (especially useful for market).

5. Sewing Machine-If you are taking machine classes and don't forget the power cord and foot; machine presser feet; needles; bobbins; manual; wheels to get it to and from class.

6. Chapter raffle basket.

7. Wee Care items to donate and your ornaments for Tree for Troops!

8. Table favours-if your chapter offered to donate them.

9. Any pre-class homework?

10. Light and magnification.

11. Spare glasses.

12. Camera
