JoAnn looks cool in this great navy print knit top.

Kathleen made this charming apron for her daughter's boyfriend. He doesn't cook, but is great at cleaning up! |
Katherine tried a few variations for this blouse. She considered using a double ruffle on the neckline, or putting a ruffle on the sleeves. The sleeve pattern had a long flared sleeve. In the end she decided to have a single layer of ruffles on the neckline and to dart in the original flared sleeve. Its beautiful. |
Susie looks fabulous in her new polka dot dress and coordinating jacket. |
Jeanne is stunning in this knit dress. She used Vogue pattern 1119 , and decorated the open edge of the skirt with teeth of one side of a zipper. |
Janice made this blouse using McCall's pattern 6286. She cut the cuffs and front band on the bias so they would stand out. Looks great. |
Lark created a new jacket using a pattern from Burda Magazine, issue 11/2007 #113. Jane helped her make triangle bound button holes. That would be interesting to see. |
She silk screened the lining with leaf and dragonfly stencils from Marcy Tilton. Lark often uses stencils with her lining. A nice finishing touch. |
Jasna participated in the Peninsula Wearable Art Guild (PenWAG) Fashion Show. Everyone was excited to see Jasna wearing her silk dupioni faux chenille jacket, her brown pants and silk blouse on her first showing on the catwalk. |
She spent a bit of time designing and fitting these garments, and the effort really showed. She looks beautiful. Jasna completed this jacket on the last Sewing Vacation with Jane Foster in Monterey Bay. |
For Jasna's second walk she wore a boiled wool jacket and hat. The pattern for the jacket started out as the Tribeca shirt from the Sewing Workshop. From there it was drastically altered into this original design. |
Jasna's jackets drew a lot of interest at the fashion show, and while the design of the pants isn't real clear in this photo, they are very interesting. |
Vicki just made this 1950's Collar Confection Blouse from Decades of Style pattern #5003, The silk crinkle fabric was a gift from Jane's stash. |
For her skirt she chose Hot Patterns #1055 Classix Nouveau Trouser Skirt (modified with an elastic waist). She is ready to go to a party now, and looks great! |
Enid made this charming jacket by covering a sweatshirt with whole cloth she purchased at Stone Mt and Daughter in Berkeley. It is fully lined, piped with large piping cord and sashiko stitched and embroidered. |
Fran made this Sandra Betzina jeans jacket and embellished it with twin needle stitching using variegated thread. |
Susie made this silk dupioni jacket using a chenille technique. The jacket has several layers of silk dupioni. It's gorgeous on Susie!! See Jane about making a garment using this technique.

Katherine has had this exquisite burnout velvet fabric for some time. She draped it rather than using a pattern because the fabric tells the tale! |
