The summer camps have been a lot of fun so far; here’s an example!  While many folks out in the world are busy finding Pokémon with their phones, my students are making their own Pokémon bags, pillows, and even hoodies.

There are a few open spots in these last weeks of summer camps. See details below, and check out links to recent blogs on my website. Fall classes are just around the corner!

All my best for the rest of your summer. Happy Sewing, JoLene

Recent Blogs on Website

In case you missed them, there two recent blog posts on my website:

New Wool Coat: I have been making my own coats and jackets when they wear out, and I really love this one I made. It has a paisley liner! You can read about ithere. Personalizing these projects, and making them fit just right is such a pleasure. What projects would you like to see come off your cutting table and through your sewing machine?
Pioneer Fashions: Last summer my granddaughter Madison had the chance to participate in a pioneer trek in Washington state. She needed pioneer clothing for her trip, and did a wonderful job on her projects, with only a little bit of help on something tricky. See more picture and read all about it here!
