She's in Fashion

I'm Janice and I sew clothes from vintage sewing patterns. I like: jiu jitsu, sewing, Bean (Esteemed Kitty Sewing Assistant), knitting, making iPhone apps & overcast days.

I didn’t think I would be participating in the Lady Grey Sew Along at Gertie’s site, but I am. I bought my fabric, lining and interfacing over the weekend. This is my first time making a coat, so this should be interesting.
