Excellent New Speaker!!

Gail Yellen of Gail Patrice designs is COMING TO PUYALLUP!! Here she is -- teaching in Chantilly, Virginia. Her classes are sold out -- and I heard nothing but rave reviews.
Of course, she came to visit in the Schmetz Needles booth -- here she is holding the Super Needle...and wearing one of her great jackets...

A fabulous project to upcycle your old sweaters -- Gail has developed a technique to butt-the-edges-together...
And the results are FABULOUS...

Here's a description of her class -- BRAND NEW FOR SEW EXPO...

# Collage It! The Ultimate Recycling Project
Gail Yellen, Gail Patrice
Room H

With Gail’s unique approach, create one-of-a-kind jackets from recycled wool sweaters using template sets as the collage "puzzle pieces". She will explain how to felt old sweaters, when and how to interface, combine colors and textures, then put it together with perfectly flat butted seams. Gail will share her collage jacket trunk show – each one a unique work of art. From initial sketches to the finished jacket, see the step-by-step process of how to make your own collage jacket.
