Jane selects colors at Thai Silk.

Sharon was thrilled to escape Wisconsin's snowy weather and join Jane's group to shop, dine, laugh, and bask in the California sun. 

Betty is wearing the cape she knitted.

Jane is holding the buttons that will be sewn on the coat and pockets of Sharon's new outstanding coat. 

Maria has finished her jacket.  The buttons and button hole loops were the last step.  Jane showed Maria how to sew on the buttons so that the threads were neatly done on the lining side. 

Ruth travels to many sewing expos, and finds the most fabulous fabrics.  This is a hand painted 4 ply silk she found, and the leather belt came from Nordstrom's. 

This silk jacket is amazing, and the fit is incredible.  Ruth used a MARFY pattern.  It is an Italian company, and they don't give instructions with the pattern or add seam allowances.  So students are all happy to have Jane's help when  they use a MARFY pattern.  

 

Claire started this holiday vest while she attended Jane's Asilomar Sewing Retreat in Pacific Grove this fall.  She found just the perfect button at Findings in Carmel.  Notice how Jane achieved a perfect fit for Claire.  The vest is now finished, and ready for Claire to wear for the Holidays.

Thea looks great in her sweater coat.  She used Loes Hinse's sweater coat pattern.. 

Roberta F. has been knitting and felting these fabulous bags.   This one is outstanding.

And here's another great one!

Jasna J. is an incredible knitter. This sweater has taken her over 2 years to make, since it was done using VERY fine needles. The pattern is by a Scandinavian woman.

Amazing work Jasna!

Katherine W. made this quilt for her friend.  It is all made using Hawaiian shirts belonging to her friend's dad.

Jackie asked Jane to help her with some of the choices for her new sewing studio. It turned out wonderful, and is a very pleasant working space.

Jackie is wearing a silk dupioni top made using a Vogue pattern.
