March 2925 - Annual Style Show

February 2025 - Pockets A Plenty - Joi Bostic
|
Joi stimulated our pocket creativity. So many patterns come without pockets or just your everyday run-of-the-mill plain pockets. As creators, we want to make our projects unique down to the smallest detail. Pockets are a great place to accomplish this detail.

|
Ginny showed us what her store has to offer the sewist making her own clothing with fine quality fabrics in fashion colors that create an actual wardrobe, instead of a random selection of clothes that do not work together.
