The link for the French jacket class does not work -or perhaps it is full?
It should be fixed. Thanks for letting me know.
Hi Mary – I’d love to come along, but our borders here in Australia remain closed. Perhaps next year?
Unfortunately worldwide travel is still an issue. Let’s hope next year will be better. Thanks.
Hi! How many people are allowed to be in the class?
Where do you stay for the class?

A block of rooms has been reserved at the DoubleTree. There are several other hotels close-by. The link to book rooms at the DoubleTree should be active. The class is limited to 12.
The lace moto jacket is absolutely stunning! Is that a “border print” lace? Gorgeous!
Thank you. The lace is an embroidered lace that had motifs scattered throughout requiring careful placement.
Masterful placement! Beautiful!
Thank you. It took some planning and piecing but I’m very happy with the results.
Hello from England
Those jackets look absolutely gorgeous.
Kind regards Joan Tildesley

Thank you Joan. I’m working on a couple more and will post soon.
What fabulous news, Mary – You and Helen are a great team! The atmosphere was so friendly, and what I learned and applied to my sewing is invaluable. Truly a great experience!
Really enjoyed working with you last time and glad you learned some new techniques. Thank you.
Your recent video class on creating trims was perfect, so I know these classes will be too.
Thanks for watching the trim class. The feedback Claire and I received was very enthusiastic and there is another one planned for September. I’m working on some new variations so it won’t be a repeat of the last one.
