Vicki E
Vicki E. is a welcome member of the Wednesday morning sew lab group. She has sewn all her life, and sets very high standards for herself. Her work is exquisite! She definitely enjoys the journey as much as the end result. The discipline of her medical training puts her in a good place with patience and skill. She doesn’t move forward with her project until she is completely satisfied. Many students wish they could be like her!! Vicki has an amazing fabric collection and organized swatches into a beautiful “stash” notebook. I appreciate Vicki and her friendship and am happy to share her garments…Jane.

Vicki E has beautiful hand stitching on her 1940's Decades of Style #4005 Girl Friday Blouse. She used a silk crepe de chine that was in her stash. Her skirt is Decades of Style #3011 1930s Stardust Skirt. The fabric is a textured rayon also from her stash. The three front seams on the skirt are piped beautifully.
A lot of time and effort went into making the pleats. She basted everything as she went along so it would all be perfect. Its amazing to watch her sew!!!
Vicki chose to completely line her skirt, and this added to the intricacy of the construction process. Notice there is also a slit.
Vicki chose lightweight linen for her Lani WovenTunic and she enhanced the look with piping and top stitching.
Vicki also made the Brook Skirt to wear under her tunic. She underlined the linen skirt with silk organza to lessen the creasing.
The Moto jacket is lined in a delicious silk charmeuse.
Vicki finished her beautiful Alabama Chanin style skirt. She used an orange knit layer and a beige knit layer. The skirt was screened and then embroidered. Vicki loves this skirt
