Oceanside Sewing Retreat and Vacation in California with Jane Foster - Spring 2009
Jane was thrilled to be able to arrange this Sewing Retreat in the spring of 2009. Everyone had a great time sewing and vacationing together. Each student worked on their own projects. Projects included quilting, tailoring, couture sewing, beginning and advanced sewing, and garment embellishment and finishing techniques.
Betty is sewing this quilt for her granddaughter, and worked on placement of the blocks. She now has it ready for quilting. What a lucky girl to have Betty for a grandmother.

Carrie took a class with Jane on sewing a couture jacket. Her couture jacket is almost completed. |
Everyone loved the lines on the back of the jacket Janice was making.

Maria is having a fitting on a muslin. She used this muslin as the pattern to cut out the couture jacket on the next Sewing Retreat and Vacation. |
JoAnn has a great jacket pattern that fits her perfectly. She used it for this cotton jacket. |
The same pattern was used for this silk dupioni jacket. She washed the fabric before cutting out the pattern, and the washing softened the fabric. |
Jane is giving a sewing lesson on the technique of making a bound bottonhole.

Sally is making a jeans jacket with top stitching. She completed the jacket on her next Sewing Retreat and Vacation with Jane Foster, and applied a stencil on the back too. |
Sharon made a fitted jacket with princess seams. She is thrilled with the fit Jane was able to achieve for her, and will use this pattern as a basis for making a couture jacket. She attended privated sewing classes with Jane Foster to get a jump start on the construction techniques. |
