          Please meet Maria, a true artist in many aspects of her life. She is a regular Friday morning student and I have watched her grow and improve her sewing year by year. What I love about Maria is that she always adds that little extra something to make her garments unique. She is SO creative with leather, and her linings are often screened with designs. She has a flair for interior design and generously entertains us in her Pacific Grove home when we go on our Asilomar Sewing Retreats.

Butterick pattern B5849.
        Maria made a Alabama Chanin style skirt. She designed the motif for the silk screening, and screened using different colored paints to get this Fall effect. Sally Baker made the silk screens (visit her on Etsy here).
