 ~ MY SEWING PATTERNS FOR TEENS & ADULTS~

    I have been sewing since I was eight years old. My Grandma McCrary and my Aunt Carolyn were instrumental in sharing their sewing talents and knowledge with me over the years. 

    In junior high and high school I took every class the district offered. In my senior year of high school my sewing teacher, Mrs. Brown, asked me if I wanted to take Independent Study from her so I could continue learning more about tailoring and sewing.  Of course, I accepted her offer! I continued making my own clothes, home decor, and gifts for friends and family.

    In 2000, I took my first quilting class, and I was hooked! I continued taking classes at the local quilt shop until I felt confident and competent enough to pursue this hobby on my own.

    In late 2007, I began designing my own projects and submitting them to magazines, books, and sewing industry manufacturers for publication. I was fortunate enough to have over one hundred of my original sewing, stitchery, and quilting designs published in the United States and in the United Kingdom during an eight-year period. 

  🧵 Now I publish my original sewing designs as Kindle ebooks available in the Kindle Store on Amazon.com. All of my books are available for free through the Kindle Unlimited program. These patterns can be found on my Amazon Author Page

🧵 The cover and direct link to Amazon for each sewing pattern is on the right sidebar on the 'Home' page of this blog. Find the pattern covers beneath my photo at:  https://authorjunemccraryjacobs.blogspot.com/

Over one hundred and seventy-five of my original sewing, quilting, and stitchery projects and articles have been published in the past decade-plus in sewing books, on sewing industry blogs, and in sewing and crafting magazines distributed nationally and internationally. Here is a sampling of just a few of my published designs:

When I'm not reading, writing, or blogging, I enjoy reading, writing, walking, visiting botanical gardens and parks, photography, touring historic homes and museums, cooking, designing, sewing, quilting, sewing for charity, crafting, and hand-embroidery.

As a professional educator for twenty years, my passion was teaching reading and literacy skills to Kindergarten through fourth grade students. I enjoyed passing on my love of books and the written word to these children through my teaching and our daily classroom activities. The students' unceasing love of books was an inspiration to me on a daily basis.
