Welcome to the first annual (we hope!) It's Sew L. A. tour. Your tour guides, ASG members, Donna Springer and Suzy Hutton have wonderful fun planned for you.
Everything is in place except the web site which is under construction. You can keep checking
Your cost of $960 per person includes:
hotel room, double occupancy at the Shreraton Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. (Single supplement + $426) (If you will be traveling alone and would like to share, let us know. We can try to put you with a roommate.)
Bus trip to a unique fabric shopping experience
tour of FIDM - Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising which includes the exhibit of costumes worn in movies nominated for Academy Awards
all day shopping in Los Angeles' garment district with a tour of one of the better known stores
tour of Otis, school of fashion design
shopping time in the jewelry district
two nights of embellishment classes at your hotel: first night will be needle felting. Second night will be beading on fabric both by hot fix crystals and hand sewn.
Potterage and baggage handling fee.
You will be responsible for air fare, meals, and of course, all that fabric shopping!
If you make your return trip in the afternoon on Saturday, you can use the morning to check out the monthly Saturday sale at the Cal Mart. The Cal Mart normally is for wholesale buyers only, but once a month the basement sale is open to the public.
We need to emphasize that we will be relying on public transportation and our own two feet for most of the time. You need to be able to walk city blocks while carrying fabric.
YOur deposit fee of $450 is due 12/20/07. Final payment of $510 is due 1/25/08.
