Roberta found the silver clasps in Norway, and has used them on this delightful hand embroidered fleece tunic.

Sharon S gave Barbara an unfinished jacket and pants before she moved out of state. This is the finished jacket.

Janice wears her Sandra Betzina knit top.

Cathy has finished her first tailored project. This lined jacket was created with McCall's  pattern M5278. The fabric came from Fine Fabrics in Santa Barbara. Fabulous!!

Jeanne's sews a new outfit

Jeanne had a wedding to attend. She found this interesting blue textured fabric and pale blue silk charmeuse at Britex. She planned to make a blouse and skirt. Jane persuaded her to also make a simple jacket out of the limited leftovers.

Because Jeanne had recently made a bodice and sleeve sloper, she had an instant pattern to use as a base. She came to two sew labs in one week, and here are the results! She looks great, and the color of the fabric brings out her eyes.

Jeanne is attractive in her fall colors.

Liz's silk jacket

Liz created this stunning piece using the Sewing Workshops Tribeca shirt pattern. The crinkle silk is a beautiful shade of grey green, and Liz found it in Carmel at Finding's while vacationing with Jane on her Sewing Retreat.

Vicki makes a dress in the sewing class

Vicki created this soft rayon dress during her sewing class. She used Sandra Betzina's Vogue pattern #1234.

JoAnn created this top in a sewing workshop in the East Bay Area

JoAnn looks cool in this great navy print knit top.

 

Apron created in a sewing workshop in the East Bay Area.

Kathleen made this charming apron for her daughter's boyfriend. He doesn't cook, but is great at cleaning up!

Katherine's silk blouse

Katherine tried a few variations for this blouse. She considered using a double ruffle on the neckline, or putting a ruffle on the sleeves. The sleeve pattern had a long flared sleeve. In the end she decided to have a single layer of ruffles on the neckline and to dart in the original flared sleeve. Its beautiful.

Susie's new jacket and dress

Susie looks fabulous in her new polka dot dress and coordinating jacket.

Knit dress

Jeanne is stunning in this knit dress. She used Vogue pattern 1119 , and decorated the open edge of the skirt with teeth of one side of a zipper.

 

Janice's blouse

Janice made this blouse using McCall's pattern 6286. She cut the cuffs and front band on the bias so they would stand out. Looks great.

Lark's jacket made with Burda sewing pattern

Lark created a new jacket using a pattern from Burda Magazine, issue 11/2007 #113. Jane helped her make triangle bound button holes. That would be interesting to see.

Lark's lining

She silk screened the lining with leaf and dragonfly stencils from Marcy Tilton. Lark often uses stencils with her lining. A nice finishing touch.
