Thursday was the 3rd session of Intro to Fashion Illustration. That Thursday, we would all get what we've been anxiously waiting for......to sketch clothing.

I'm not much of a "fashion person" but really admire you gals who are so creative. Used to be a quilter, but now the dolls have taken over....... I see that you are a dog lover too. We just "rescued" a Doxie/Ausstralian Cattle Dog mix. How's that for a combination?!

The classes are different to anything people are used to, but are a success. I worked in the trade for over 30 years and I am enjoying passing on the skills I have learned. I am hoping soon to offer a european regenoised cert for sewing and design skills.

Do you mean you're moving here, and if so when? All the good fabric stores are in Miami, except for Cynthia's, S&S and another one that I cannot remember the name of, here in Broward county. Stay in touch.
