Yolanda created
this exquisite camel haired coat. It is so well tailored and looks as
good on the inside as on the outside. She adapted a pattern and added
features like the back inverted pleat with a hand embroidered arrowhead.

inside facing!

Emily wearing her senior project dress
Jane was asked to
mentor Emily and Kate for their senior projects.
Emily posed the
question: “How has Japanese teen fashion evolved over the past two decades?”
For her project she choose to make a
dress from a pattern in a Japanese sewing magazine in the style of Gothic
Lolita!
Jane and Emily first
had to make the pattern as they only had the photo, and the article was all
written in Japanese. Black silk doupioni was used and trimmed with an
abundance of white lace. The result was a masterpiece!

Kate in her senior project prom dress
Kate loved the 50's music. She posed the question
"What influenced fashion during the 1950's?" Kate decided to make a
1950's ball gown for her senior project. Jane and Kate found the
pattern and fabric on the internet. With lots of hard work the
gorgeous gown was created and worn with grace and style to the Senior Prom.
Both Kate and Emily worked so diligently and managed to fit
sew labs into their hectic senior year. Of course they both got an "A:
for their projects! Jane felt it was a great pleasure to guide them.

designing, has been making and designing bags. This first one is for

Moms want one. Great design Trina!
