Hand Sewing and Lab Time for Summer
***
Sharon Coker is hanging up for May and part of June
.."In our latest book, we present five complete patterns. In genderless sizing from XS-###L we illustrate the eternal relevance and versatility of traditional workwear shapes and detailing. These simple everyday garments are clothes not fashion, living outside the fast and careless, trend-led landscape"...

I have 3 seats left in the last minute, June add-on of Hand Stitching.

***
Claire will be here this summer also for Sewing Lab-help for the hard bits.
This has turned out to be a good idea. Sarah said she was frozen and Claire was amazing and fast at getting her over a really scary parts of her quilt coat project so she immediately signed -up for June.
Such a confidence builder!
You can find her June, July and August for in-person help.

I want to thank my Spring teachers for making our lives richer. I have invited them back for fall- stay tuned!

Sharon Coker from Napa hangs on the walls until the second week in June.
Wow! is the response I'm getting for her clothing, (and of course, "is that for sale?"). Such a testament to a relentless focus.
Thank you, Sharon.
Come see her influences, some hand printed cloth as well as some self drafted designs.

Mother's Day is coming and we have a few spots left in Sahar's, Unlock your Creativity Class where we will make new, wearable fabric by combining silk and merino wool for the softest and most flow-ee color blending fun...Grab your mom and get in here together or your bestie and make together for the gals you both call, Mom.

Here are a few other ideas just in case you aren't so close by your mom that you can take a class together.
I can ship direct in time for the special gal who made you. Add a note in the notes section at check out and I will include it, just like 1800-Flowers
(only better and longer lasting.)
