September is National Sewing Month and the San Jose 

                                                                                           ASG chapter would like to celebrate with a sewing Yard Sale! 

                                                                                          See our Yard Sale Flyer attached and distribute it to your

                                                                                           friends, groups, stores (that will let you) and anyone you think

                                                                                           would be interested in sewing items.

                                                                                          Times:  8:00 am - 2:00 pm Saturday, Sept. 12, 2009

                                                                                          Location: Home of Jean Werling, 19683 Wheaton Dr.,

                                                                                          Cupertino  (right behind the Cupertino Joann's store off Portal

                                                                                          Ave and Stevens Creek) 

                                                                                          We need your help to get items for our sale.  Time to go

                                                                                          through your sewing room stash!

                                                                                          Any sewing related items will be accepted.  Please label

                                                                                          yardage with length, content (if known) and price.  Or indicate

                                                                                          if we should price it for you.

                                                                                          All proceeds to benefit the ASG chapter for future speakers,

                                                                                          programs, etc. Large $$ items, proceeds to be 10% of selling

                                                                                          price to ASG (unless otherwise negotiated)

                                                                                          Go through your stash for fabric, notions, trims, books, videos,

                                                                                          patterns, equipment, etc.

                                                                                          Volunteers will be needed that day in hour or two-hour shifts

                                                                                          beginning at 7:00 am until about 3:00 pm to include cleanup.  Please email me if you can help us any of these days.  Maybe a couple people who live near me in Cupertino can plan to help with the drop off/final sorting days below.

Days for drop off of items are:   Sept. 5 from 8-noon,  Sept 7 from 4-7 pm,

Sept 8 from 12-6.  If those times don't work, you will need to contact me for other arrangements. 

Volunteers are also needed to setup on Thursday, Sept. 10, from 10-2 pm to sort items, finalize pricing, etc. 

Signup sheet is attached.  Please email me back to let me know how you can help our guild! It will be a great day and a chance to meet other ASG members, add to your stash, get rid of items you no longer need, and have some fun!  Email me.

If you have a machine to sell, please plan to be at the sale to answer questions and operate the machine or we will just let it sell itself.

Hopefully the volunteers working that day can answer any basic questions about the machine.

We would also like some volunteers to do actual sewing demos at the sale, like pillowcases, tote bags, etc.  If you can help with that, let me know as well.

We are also planning to have a section of sewn garments, etc. for sale as new and also a section to show some of the community service items we sew throughout the year.  If you have any items for this section, let us know when the items are dropped off.  You must price "for sale as new" items and they should have sizes listed.
