Meet katie. she is a retired university professor emeritus who spent the entire covid pandemic spindle spinning and weaving on her saori piccolo40 loom ! she had 40 plus yards of hand spun weft yarns fabric wanting to be sewn into garments .
look at our two full days of her sewing intensive this week .
all this beautiful yardage she brought .
how clothing fits is important!
the first choices for a oversized coat katie tried on and wanted to sew .
katie arriving with all her saori yardage!
a photo of me that Katie took the first day you can see the many mock up samples for students to try on.
time to sew !!!
she loves it !!!!
all finished , i leave finish work for the student to do at home so that we can get more done that way and of course the student can decide on that option.
second garment is being started at the end of the first day . the violet bias top
again she will do the finish work at home beautiful on you katie!

katie said this
"Jill you are so magnificent! All my buddies, in person and on FB are in awe of your facilitations and art teaching! I am too!
Spent the day visiting friends who were so jealous of this kind of sewing
Thx Jill! I look forward to more times working with you and creating more to transform"
