Wellspring's Preteen/Teen Sewing Camp

For the first two weeks in July and in August, ASG Sacramento Chapter sponsored a class for students.

Angie Ott leads the camp team of volunteers—Susan Davenport, Denise Cassidy, and Melissa Kubiak. 


Our other volunteers were Nadine Noelting, Elaine Berghausen, Janelle Embree, and Alice  Huerta. 

Roberta Hopkins is our Community Relations Chair and does a wonderful job coordinating the programs at Wellspring.

Dear Sacramento Chapter, American Sewing Guild,
My name is Thomas Gatewood. I was an ASG Scholarship winner a year ago.

I wanted to thank you again for your support and share with you my recently completed collection for the ARC Collections Class under the tutelage of (the Wonderful) Anne Dieu.

ASG’s generosity helped me purchase some of the materials that made my life SO much easier as I made my collection. Thank you.

We were unable to do a live runway show and I opted for a dress-form based collection and video. It came out well and I got lucky to have a bit of a breeze during the shooting which afforded a little movement of the fabric.

In my houndstooth look, the colors are a bit off (at least on my monitors) and are in fact much prettier than they appear. The black dress needs a bit more light to show the front tuck pleases and the deep, back kick pleats.

All said and done, it’s been a great experience.
Thank you for your support.

Yours,
Thomas Gatewood
