In this class, learners will learn how to make a pillow. We will start with two pieces of material (two fat quarters), practice sewing them together, stuffing the pillow, and then finishing the pillow by hand. This is an easy beginner project, but please make sure your learner knows how to set up their sewing machine and how to make their machine sew in reverse (or how to back stitch; having an adult nearby to assist is acceptable as well). This is the perfect opportunity to for beginner sewists to create and complete a sewing project. It will also allow more advanced sewists a chance to create individualized pillows as the class adapts to each sewist's ability.

Parental Guidance

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Whitney and I am so excited to have the opportunity to share my expertise with you! I have a Bachelors degree from Florida State University, and I have over 10 years of teaching experience. I have taught formally in a preschool classroom, and I currently teach ESL online. I have also taught horseback riding, rowing, canning, Sunday school, and I look forward to sharing my classroom with you!
I believe that learning should be FUN! Some times a bit messy, maybe a bit silly, but always full of smiles and laughter. I believe that we remember what we learn best when we remember the experience as a positive one. I also believe that life can be one of the greatest educators. I love to bring real life examples into my classes.
When I am not spending with my family and dogs, I enjoy teaching sewing classes, budgeting classes, science, English, art, and having a fun and educational story time for young learners. Often times, I will bring my dogs to class as teaching tools!
Thank you for viewing my profile, and I hope to see you in class soon!
