During this pandemic, I’ve hungered for people with common sewing interests like myself, and Janice has come through, once again. I love the assortment of knits that she carries. And I picked up a few clever tricks during this class, one being to always stabilize the seams. This is especially a good thing to do with the “sweater” knits. I’m now working on a sweater set, using fabric from Janice’s shop and using that technique has improved the look immensely. They will be posted on Facebook and Instagram pretty soon. Thanks for all Janice. I’m looking forward to cleaning out my closet!
