Upcoming Sewing Events with Jane Foster
Needlewoman of the Month
Each month Jane features one of the women who sew with her. They are all so talented, and she wants to share their creations with you.
Jackie L was born in Hong Kong and watched her mother sew. She is an exceptional tailoress as you will see. She has been working with me for many years and is well prepared with her sewing. She has mastered pressing and accuracy especially with tailoring. Jackie fits her paper patterns to her dress form before she comes to lab and then I check them over. She has enjoyed sewing for her daughter and her friends. Jackie comes to Saturday morning sew labs and I am proud to share her work with you...........Jane
