A Trip Down Memory Lane...
Londa's Creative Sweatshirt Jackets
When I closed my retail storefront in 2003, I started creating my 'Creative Sweatshirt Jackets'. First, I sold them at galleries and area craft shows. Then, I developed the 'How-To's in my patterns which took me 'on the road' to sewing expos, teaching at shops and guilds country-wide from 2005 through spring of 2018.

VERY 1st Jacket
Taught as a class at my shop to rave reviews. 1st inspiration was to utilize the lower ribbing of the sweatshirt as a collar!Wrapped edges w/ silk ribbon.
Wrapping edges with bias cut silk ribbon I dyed. Collar again of lower ribbing, lettuce-edged on my serger.How about...a Pullover?
Starting to sell at galleries...I had to come up with some simple versions. This sold for $89 back in 2005!Inspired by a pattern...
Lois Ericson's 'Pages' pattern was the inspiration for placement of fabrics from my stash!Show More
