Notes from our Co-Presidents:
We (Donna Jo and Becky) completed our first semester as Fashion Design students at Santa Fe Community College. It was an interesting, fun, frustrating, educational, challenging, hori-zon-widening experience. We can now tell you more than you ever wanted to know about de-signers like Donna Karan and Max Azria. We have draped woven and knit garments on Wolf dress forms. We can almost control the sewing speed of industrial sewing machines and sergers. We have new friends of all ages. We worked hard, learned a lot, and we might have complained a little. There is still a lot to learn, so we are heading back for the summer. One of our classes is being taught by Bina Abling, a fashion design artist, instructor and author from New York City. We are really excited about this class. Maybe our drawings will resem-ble people and garments!
The Fiber Arts Fiesta was wonderful. Our Guild members helped out in all areas of the event. There were many beautiful garments and quilts to admire and inspire us. Too bad we have to wait two more long years for it to come around again!
