And Sew On:(59:21)
Jasmin talks about Genevieve’s 100th day shirt.
Gigi's class at West Valley College, Flat Pattern Construction
Gigi's input on the book "Hoop Dreams" is spot on! The techniques she mentions (ancient?!) are standard practice for even an average needlewoman. I loved Jasmin's "collecting of books of things she would like to learn or make," It applied/appealed to me as I am of the same ilk. Case in point: I just bought a book on mittens and a book on socks. Inspiration!! Keep up the great work, ladies.
ReplyDeleteYour shop etiquette is very practical. I have volunteered in a nonprofit needlework shop for years and it’s simply amazing what people let their children and babies do. We are baby lovers but please watch your children!
