Teacher expertise and credentials
I teach sewing and fashion design. The classes will teach step by step instruction so that you will be confident with using a sewing machine, identifying fabrics and how they move and fitting a pattern to perfection. In the Advanced class you will learn tips and tricks that will make your garment construction look professional.
I have been sewing since I was a child. My love for sewing and fashion design led me to learn all a could about the craft. I have a degree in Business, Child Psychology and Special Education, and Human Resource Management. But my Passion is Fashion. In 2004 I started my own sewing business that grew to be very busy. My company specialized in custom made special occasion ware for men and women. I also teach sewing and mentor new fashion designers.
I look forward to being your instructor and helping you to step into a new and rewarding path of sewing and fashion.Reviews
