Recycle: Don’t discard any of your family's non wearable clothes……
REDESIGN THEM!
Reinvent those worn denim jeans, shirts, old fashioned dresses, sweaters with holes, table cloths, blankets, you name it…..or even fabrics that are lying around waiting to be used, and transform them into your own creations.
You will learn basic sewing techniques, write/draw your ideas on paper, and learn how to take measurements.Cutting, pinning, and basic sewing skills will be presented in a manner that is simple and easy to understand. At the completion of the course, you will be familiar enough with reconstruction techniques to redesign and recreate your old clothes, and become an independent seamstress, and the ins and outs of your sewing machine. A sewing machine is required. So go ahead and pull that baby out of the closet, and put it to good use.

R.M from San Carlos : " 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."
