"I am coming to the end of a magical sewing class series with a group of very inspiring moms at Ricochet under Jill's tutelage. This class has been an event I look forward to all week. I have signed my 7- year old daughter up for a series of classes with Jill as well. "
Jill is quite an inspiration! Being surrounded by her work is uplifting. It just feels great to support a local artist such as Jill and I have been greatly appreciating the opportunity to learn from her and wear a few of her quality and unique pieces."
-R.M. of San Carlos, CA
"I met Jill by looking online for sewing classes in the Peninsula. Jill's one of those rare people who are not only extremely creative, but can also share their practical knowledge with others. I took a six week class with the intention of making a costume for the Dickens Fair and loved it so much I became an intern after so I could keep on learning.
"The store is cute, the sewing studio is funky and warm, the people are friendly - it's a great environment to learn in. I urge you all to support an artist-slash-small business owner by stopping in and checking things out."
