Emily Plunkett from Texas and Gina Eckert from Pennsylvania work together at a recent class at John C. Campbell Folk School. Function and placement of pockets, and positioning the back belt is best determined by individual choice. A cooperative classroom makes sewing together a pleasure. Black and white stripe fabric is a plain woven cotton and hemp blend. Gina’s fabric in wide stripes is twill woven cotton, and is a perfect weight for an over-shirt on an early spring day.
