Striped shirt made by Jackie L.  using New Look pattern # 6407.  Jane's Tips. 

 

 

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.  As her last name is Peacock she machine embroidered peacock feathers on the inside facing!

 

Katherine's art piece is her interpretation of Gustav Klimpt's "The Kiss".   It is truly beautiful and will be a gift for her husband.

Fran is a new student in our studio, and made this lined jacket.  Look how nicely it fits!

 

Claudine (5th from left) runs a dance academy in Oakland, and brought some of her students to Jane's studio one day to complete a dance skirt.  Each student added her own design to her skirt.

 

Cathy looks so good in this little open work jacket. The selvedges had fringe, and Cathy carefully cut the fabric using the selvedge at the hems and around the collar.

Trina gave this blanket to a lucky baby.  It is amazingly beautiful.  Jane's Tips for making this blanket.

 

Bonnie F. looks great in her fleece coat trimmed with brocade and machine embroidery. 

This is the very first garment that Sarah G. has sewn. Good work Sarah!

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. 

 

Karen ,also fairly new to our sewing studio, made an unlined linen/cotton jacket using a Vogue pattern

 

Trina, new to sewing but not designing,  has been making and designing bags. This first one is for her 2 year old daughter to take to ballet lessons. It has a tulle tutu trim and is lined with a ballet shoes print.  Trina used  the embroidery function on her new  sewing machine to decorate the handles. Now all the Moms want one.  Great design Trina!

Lark has a beautiful fit on this coat, and the color of the coat and the print used on the collar and cuffs is in her harmony.  She looks great! 

Kathleen's buttons blend with the fabric of this coat.  This was the first lined coat she created.

Jasna's stunning coat.  She used a Park Bench pattern which was supposed to hang open in front.  Jane suggested she add buttons, and create a sort of tuck at the collar.  It really fits Jasna's personal style.

Maria will enjoy this fleece jacket.  The design on the lapels is silk roving applied with a felting machine.   She used a Marcy Tilton pattern.  Gorgeous!

 

Kathleen and Vicki used the same knit fabric to make these fabulous dresses. 

 

Joy's felted hat is one of a kind, and will be fun to wear.  She added lace from Lacis in Berkeley.

 

Enid made this stylish coat using fabric she found at Stone Mountain and Daughter's in Berkeley.

 

Another magnificent jacket by Helen.  She purchase the fabric from Emma One Sock.  The jacket is unlined.

 

Barbara in a stunning dress cut on the bias.
