Joy D
It has given me such pleasure to teach Joy to sew. She is so very talented and is naturally creative. She enjoys being in the studio on Wednesday mornings and has made some beautiful garments. Not only is Joy a full time doctor but she is a brilliant wet felter and scrapbooker. Oh and she makes hats and jewelry.
Joy is wearing a top made with 3 coordinating fabrics from Marcy Tilton.
Joy looks fabulous in this top she made using three different coordinating fabrics from Marcy Tilton.

Katherine and Joy enjoyed the event.
Joy purchased this polka dot wool from a store in LA.. Using Marfy 2257, she has beaded the collar and made it her own. She is a whiz at Nuno felting, and used this method to make her collar and trims.

Joy made this lovely dress out of a Kantha quilt. Kantha quilts are the perfect weight to wear in the Bay Area. Most come from India, and they are all hand-stitched with a running stitch. The jacket that Joy is wearing was a shirt; she has embellished it and now wears it as a jacket.
Joy is enjoying her Hilde hat.
Joy has a great new outfit. She used Jane's designed fabric " Poppy Movement " sold by Spoonflower. She chose a light weight fleece for the fabric type.
Joy D is wearing her linen tunic.. She used a dress pattern that she loves and just shortened it. This color of linen is exactly her eye color and makes her eyes sparkle.

Joy's leather project was a colorful bag. It has three different types of leather which she bought from The Hide House in a Napa, CA while on a field trip with Jane and her students.
Joy loves this stitching so much she made 2 more garments. She purchased an Alabama Chanin stencil and used it to make this skirt. The underneath fabric layer is striped. With her left over fabric she made this top using a Marfy pattern, and added a little more reverse applique on the collar.
