EVELYN LANGSTON’S BIO: If you have been to Branson, Missouri, you have seen Evelyn’s work on stage. She has worked with such well-known entertainers as Bobby Vinton, Andy Williams, Anita Bryant, the Osmonds and Jim Stafford. She also has a line of faux-fur coats bearing the Fun-Fur label which gained her recognition as the “Originals ’98 Designer of the year”. She owns Ozark Crafts pattern company and has recently been featured on PBS Creative Living with her newest embellishment techniques. Now she travels and teaches pattern making and various sewing classes. CLASS INFORMATION PATTERN MAKING FOR EVERYONE (lecture demo) Learn the most popular pattern drafting technique used in Europe for over 65 years to create custom fitted patterns regardless of your measurements with absolutely no size limitations, large or small. Easy to understand and simply to use, each class participant will receive 3 free patterns to take home and draft (vest, shorts, and camp shirt). Time: 1 ½ to 2 hours. Fee: none – will have books, curves and additional patterns available to be purchased. SCRAPBAG CREATIVITY (lecture demo) Are you needing some fresh ideas on what to do with those wonderful leftovers that are just too good to throw away? From craft ideas to fashions, you are sure to get fresh and fund ideas from this workshop. Evelyn has come up with over 45 projects using everything from cottons to velvets in wonderful, useful and even decorative gift ideas. This is one you won’t want to miss. Time: 1 hour. Fee: $3.00 for handout. ALL TRAVEL EXPENSE COMPENSATION WILL BE COMPUTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS FOR CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS.
