Lorain Pettit is a sewer, knitter, spinner, weaver and dyer, most of it largely self taught. She is interested in learning and sharing new techniques with others in all of her fiber related rabbit holes.

Judy Dominic learned how to sew during high school, pajamas being her first project. She has moved beyond traditional patterns with her ‘rearranging’ of garments and use of scraps.
