Pattern Contributors JANELLE BARNES Peppa n Salt www.facebook.com/peppansalt

Janelle is a mum to four kids and loves to teach them handmade skills. She learnt herself as a child and her passion has grown over the years.

Janelle loves a challenge and thrives on thinking outside of the box. Learning new skills is really important to her, as is the support of her family and friends.

JILL COPPOCK Jilly Atlanta Patterns www.etsy.com/shop/JillyAtlanta

Jill learnt to sew as a child but it was when she began working for Ann Taylor that she took her skills to another level - she began altering patterns to create the kind of clothing she was selling. When her first girl was born she began making her own patterns and with her husband’s encouragement and help, they started JillyAtlanta Patterns.

Jill has contributed the Camden Dress to this issue.

She has been sewing since she was six years old and now believes she is the luckiest girl in the world to be making her way as the designer behind Thread Faction Studios.
