Sew labs offer a
supportive, secure place to let your creativity unfold. This
is where you can learn to sew, improve your skills, or solve
that tricky problem blocking your progress. You can also
design and make the garment or quilt you’ve only dreamed about,
get help fitting a pattern or muslin, or simply set aside time
to sew in the company of others. The free flow of ideas
and conversation is joyful and stimulating.
Each lab is
three hours long: as there are only five or six students in
each lab, everyone has plenty of individual attention.
Jane’s forty years of teaching and design experience will come
into play as she helps you work on your individual project.
The studio is fully equipped, so you can arrive with your patterns
and fabric ready to make your ideas come to life.

A sew lab is anything you want it to be.
After an initial consultation you and Jane can make a customized,
realistic plan and put it into action. It can be a self driven
course of special study. YOU the student set the project and
the pace . Jane will provide her expertise and teaching and
guide you through your creative journey. |
Students work on individual
projects during the sew labs.

Studio. |

Jane will draw
out far more of your creativity than you can imagine
and SO.....the sky is the limit! These are
small group sessions of no more than five - six
students. They are held in Jane's home studio .
Beginners are welcomed. Each student is guided
through the project of her choice. Instruction will
be given for construction techniques, design and
fitting. Machines are available.
Often students sign up for the
same time period each week, and in this way
friendships are developed between the students as
well as with Jane. Students may also elect to
come at various intervals.
Fee: $40 per sew
lab or $150 for four sew labs, payable at first
session.

Jane also
offers individual lessons by the hour in her studio in Walnut
Creek. Her expertise lies not only in construction but
also in design and fitting. Simply call 925-939-2328 to
set up your appointment. You and Jane can work on fitting,
designing, sewing, tailoring, or any of your other sewing needs.
Students comment that they are so pleased with the fit we are
able to achieve, that they are then inspired to go on and sew
many wonderful projects. |
The Wednesday morning students
have become great friends, and enjoy coming to Jane's
studio to sew together.
