Jane Foster Sewing and Clothing Design Classes

Ellen just finished this glorious quilt. She used Jane's embroidery machine to embellish the circles with radiating lines. The fabric and quilt was designed by Kaffe Fasset.

Claudine teaches dance, and she painted the ballet shoes during one sew lab session.

Angela is new to Jane's sewing studio, and her first project was this pretty top and Tencel skirt.

JoAnn made this care bear for her sister Diana. Sisters are always there for each other.

Kathleen is having fun in her sew lab. She is constructing a vest using a Sandra Betzina pattern.

Jasna is making fabric samples using silk screens. She is deciding on the color and pattern to compliment the fabric for her couture jacket she is holding between the samples.

Janice is having Jane mark the hem on her new wool coat. She lined this coat with polar tec since she likes to be warm.

Betty's new purse will coordinate with many of her creations.

Pat is nearly finished with this new jacket made with melton wool. Outstanding.

Liz purchased the silk for this jacket at the Marcy Tilton's booth at Puyallup last year. Her arty buttons came from Sawyer Brook's online store.

Laura is working on a cute winter quilt. She is determined to finish some of her projects.

Lark's lovely rayon fabric came from Stone Mountain and Daughter's. She creatively cut the fabric in different directions to give an interesting design.

Jane is fitting Susie's muslin for a French couture jacket. Susie sews every day, so I am sure we will see the completed jacket soon.

This scrumptious silk charmeuse was a find on a Paris vacation. Jeanne and Jane are discussing how she will design a garment with this fabric.

Katherine has her family portrait quilt all pinned and ready for the final quilting. She began assembling this project just a few months ago with Jane on her Sewing Retreat. A wonderful memory of her mother as a baby and three more generations of grandmothers.

Barbara started collecting the fabric for this lava lamp quilt at Back Porch Fabrics while attending the Spring 2010 Sewing Retreat with Jane. Jane had encouraged her to select a fairly dark value for one row, and a light value for the other row. You can see how this really worked.

Barbara pieced it and worked on the binding during the Spring 2011 Sewing Retreat. Now it is completed and ready to give her daughter for graduation, and will cheer up her room for her first year at college.

Janice made this short version of a coat designed by Sandra Betzina, Vogue pattern 1212.  She used a sweatshirt fabric. 

Fran found her black wool Melton in Jane’s “freebie” corner and made this tailored and lined wool coat.
