About Islander Sewing Systems™ and Patterns Designed by Janet
Pray
|

Jane Pray |
Margaret Islander promoted a
sewing method based on
industrial shortcuts adapted for
the home machine. Although many
of the techniques are based on
factory methods, Margaret was
quick to point out that her aim
was to make sewing a joyful
experience.
She believed "Sewing is an art
form. If you look at it as just
practical, you will miss the
joy."
The Islander Sewing System
emphasizes that the key to
creativity is total awareness of
materials and machines. The
techniques are so deceptively
simple that they become second
nature. This means that you can
quickly turn your ideas into
reality without having to resort
to complicated and cumbersome
methods.
Margaret's niece Janet Pray has
an educational background in
business and fine art. Self
employed since 1981 as a fiber
artist, fiber arts teacher and
sewing instructor. She has
exhibited her award winning
works across the US at many fine
juried art fairs, Renaissance
Festivals, galleries and
boutiques. In 1998 she produced
patterns for three of her most
popular coat and cape designs
and in 2002 the first set of 3
professional shirt patterns,
which include revolutionary
pattern guides designed with the
Islander Sewing Systems
techniques.
Ms. Pray has authored
the book, "Islander Sewing
Systems I, For Personal and
Professional Sewing and is the
president of The American Sewing
Expo, Inc. which produces the
largest independent annual
Fashion Sewing, Quilting and
Fiber Arts Expo in the United
States. |
