I have been sewing for the last 62 yrs, since I was 8 yrs old( , thanks to the neighborhood women who taught me how to embroider & sew. I am also an artist, actually a painter ( watercolor & acrylic)., recently learned how to paint on silk.I'm a dressmaker & tailor, have also been employed as a costume designer & doing alterations.
I have been making ( & teaching ) the art of banner making for the last 25 yrs. I make elaboriate Christian banners, flags and pageantry aids. As far as the craft end of it I make a jeweled crown (English style) that sits on the top of the banner or may be worn or carried in a play. I'm going to take the thread art class which is fasinating to me & would be able to be used in banner makiong. What a wonderful opportunity to learn new things!
