time to sew !!!

she loves it !!!!

we added huge pockets 

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.

 i adore this long vest!

 again katie  chose to do the finish work at home and yes it was a intensive 2 days but very productive 

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"
