For Next Monday's Sew & Share that's 4/27 at 10 am CST, please follow these directions so that we can hear and see each other. Thanks to Kim and Janice who (tried) to show up - and to Kim for her pictures asking for my ideas - which I DO have ready. We all know that sewing teaches PERSISTENCE and we all have that - so I'm looking forward then to next Monday morning! Before you join — let's make sure we can all hear each other! Quick setup steps depending on how you're joining: On a computer (Mac or PC) 1 When you click the live session link, your browser will ask permission for your microphone and camera — click Allow 2 If you missed that pop-up, look in your browser's address bar for a small camera or microphone icon — click it and set both to Allow 3 Make sure your computer's volume is turned up! On a phone (iPhone or Android) 1 The first time you join, your phone will ask permission for the microphone and camera — tap Allow 2 If you already said no, go to your phone's Settings → Skool app → Permissions and turn on Microphone and Camera 3 Make sure your phone is not on silent — and volume is up! Once you're in the session: look for the microphone icon at the bottom of your screen. Make sure it is not crossed out — click or tap it to unmute if needed. Having trouble? These permissions have to be set on your own device — I can't override them from my end. If it's still not working, drop a comment below and we'll figure it out together! My phone number is 217-369-4687 and email: [email protected] if you want to contact me.

Next week's Sewing Chat will be at 7 pm CST rather than 10 am CST. Why? I have an opportunity to speak to a local public school curriculum committee regarding constitutional/civics education that I cannot turn down. SEW - I hope to see you at 7 next week, on Monday. Central standard Time.

Good morning, Sewing Friends! Just a quick reminder that our new Monday Morning Sewing Chat will be TODAY at 10 am CST — and I'd love to see your face there! These chats are for ALL members — free and Premium — so come as you are, bring your coffee, and let's just sew and talk together. No pressure, no agenda. Just good sewing conversation. If 10 am CST on Mondays doesn't work well for your schedule, please reply and let me know what time would work better. I want these chats to actually work for YOU — so your feedback matters! And save the date for our next Premium class: ✂️ MAY 21 — T-Shirt Upcycling: Creative ideas for transforming one or more T-shirts in ways you've probably never considered — plus a lesson on SHIRRING. It's going to be sew fun! Watch for the class posting sometime this week. I hope to see you this morning! Londa londas-sewing.com
