slim pull on pant and a straight leg pull on pant and
know exactly what to do to make it fit you?
Sandra will
bring fitting shells for a slim pant Vogue 1197 and a
straight leg pant Vogue 1096in all sizes. Try on the
fitting shells and let Sandra tell you want to do to the
pattern to make it fit you perfectly.
Then Sandra will
show you fabrics which make the best pant and a
technique for lining pull on pants which disguises

Mary Smallegan
Custom Quilts Unlimited
Mary Smallegan was born and raised in West Michigan. She
started sewing at 12. Graduated to Quilting in the late
80"s.She was working on a production line when she was
laid off and decided to start quilting fulltime. Because
of the cost of sending out my quilts out to be Quilted I
began Quilting on my domestic machine. She soon
discovered it was as easy to do. Even after opening my
own quilt shop 5 years ago she continues to use a
domestic sewing machine to quilt my quilts. I love to
share this with others so they can make more affordable
gifts.
