Sew labs
offer a supportive, secure place to let your creativity unfold. This
is where you can learn to sew, improve your skills, or solve that
tricky problem blocking your progress. You can also design and make
the garment or quilt you’ve only dreamed about, get help fitting a
pattern or muslin, or simply set aside time to sew in the company of
others. The free flow of ideas and conversation is joyful and
stimulating.
Each lab is
three hours long: as there are only five students in each lab,
everyone has plenty of individual attention. Jane’s forty years of
teaching and design experience will come into play as she helps you
work on your individual project. The studio is fully equipped, so
you can arrive with your patterns and fabric ready to make your
ideas come to life.

A sew lab is anything you want it to be. After an initial
consultation you and Jane can make a customized, realistic plan and put it
into action. It can be a self driven course of special study. YOU
the student set the project and the pace . Jane will provide her
expertise and teaching and guide you through your creative
journey. |

Jane will draw out far more of your creativity than you can imagine and
SO.....the sky is the limit! These are small group sessions of
no more than five - six students. They are held in Jane's home studio . Beginners
are welcomed. Each student is guided through the project of her
choice. Instruction will be given for construction techniques,
design and fitting. Machines are available.
Often students sign up for the same time period each week, and in
this way friendships are developed between the students as well as
with Jane. Students may also elect to come at various
intervals.
Fee: $40 per sew lab or $140 for
four sew labs, payable at first
session.

Jane also
offers individual lessons by the hour in her studio in Walnut Creek. Her
expertise lies not only in construction but also in design and fitting.
Simply call 925-939-2328 to set up your appointment. You and Jane can
work on fitting, designing, sewing, tailoring, or any of your other sewing
needs. Students comment that they are so pleased with the fit we are able
to achieve, that they are then inspired to go on and sew many wonderful
projects.
