The Daytime Stitchers met at the Saline County Library on March 24.
Jean gave us a tutorial on making a little sewing kit. She also gave tips on creating a jacket similar to the one she was wearing. She has a favorite jacket pattern that she uses and creates just enough quilted fabric to accommodate each pattern piece. Of course it sounds easy but you can see that care has been taken to make sure the designs match up.
These are samples of her work: a quilted notebook holder, a wallet (made in a recent class) and 3 sewing kits in various stages of completion.
Several people took the same wallet class:
