Hi there!
Big news! After 17 years of teaching Petalumans to sew, I'm hanging up my scissors and moving on to new adventures! Thanks to all my students for being such a great bunch - you've really sewn yourselves into my heart! Stitch On!

Anna is learning to drape on a dressform! Draping is the art of wrapping fabric around a desired form and fastening it into a particular shape as opposed to traditional flat pattern drafting. It's a way of designing 3 dimensionally and is very creative. You can really play with fabric and see what it wants to do.

Love this fun Thanksgiving pie banner all made from felt!

Sometimes it feels like Thanksgiving is the forgotten middle child of holidays. But you can still make fun decorations!

Sometimes simple embroidery adds the perfect special touch to a plain canvas totebag. Ruby learned to use the embroidery machine to make this pretty bag.
