New .... Online Private Consultations
The pandemic has added many complications to our lives. Jane is now offering online consultations through “Messenger”, “Facebook”, or “Zoom”.
She is very pleased how these consultations are working, and has taken one student right through pattern and fabric choice, muslin fitting, and placement of design. It does involve some back and forth emails and some video visits, but students so appreciate the help.
Email Jane to set up a date and time. Thanks. Jane

Jane Foster's Sewing Classes and Marfy Pattern Challenge
EXTRA...EXTRA.....EXTRA.....red hot news.
Be sure to see the Vogue Pattern Magazine, the February/ March issue. This issue features Jane's "California Pattern Class (Marfy Patterns) " in a six page article starting on Page 56 ! Jane describes how she challenged her students to use a pattern by the Italian pattern company MARFY. These patterns come with no instructions, no seam allowances, and no pattern layouts. So they are quite a challenge. So get a copy of the magazine, and enjoy!
You can also see garments made by Jane's students using Marfy patterns here:
