So, you already know about the Akerworks Yarn Caddy Kit. Now, we are adding a little twist for you: Introducing the Akerworks Butterfly Kate, designed to fold into itself, making it incredibly easy to pack in a bag and take on any adventure! The Butterfly Kate has a wooden base, a carbon fiber shaft with two angle settings, a nifty pattern holder, and our patent-pending TensiTamer gizmo to keep everything in place and select your desired tension. It's designed either for use with our Yarn Caddy, or as a single shaft Lazy Kate for use with spinning bobbins.
Akerworks: We like making things.

For Gigi’s sewing class at Cañada College: made a new, clean bodice muslin, set in sleeves and
separating zipper on the bodice
Also, continued to copy alterations to bodice to the pattern
Couture Embellishments class at West Valley College continues. Turned in binder with all notes.
Final project was due last week. Home dec sofa cushion with trapunto. Design is an ancient Persian
drinking vessel with a ram motif. Challenging to copy the Design onto the fabric.
Free motion quilting was not hard, needed to make sure stitch length looked good.
Needed 3 techniques. Did some beading. Threaded a quilted channel with cotton cord for
the 3rd technique.
