In this weekly club students will have the opportunity to share their work, receive encouraging feedback, and improve their skills and knowledge of hand sewing... while making new friends who share a common interest!

Heather will facilitate positive discussions and guide socialization towards inclusion and kindness. 

I've been sewing historic garment reproductions and costuming for over 30 years. I've worked in several living history museums, for over more than 18 years, creating my all my own professional costuming for various time periods in history... as well as researching and writing staff costuming standards guides for two museums and drafting patterns from photographs and historic garments in the collection. I currently consult and demonstrate as a domestic and textile historian for Great Smoky Mountain Heritage Center. I'm also a long time fan of the works of LM Montgomery, feeling a deep kinship with many of her characters. 

We will often refer to the literary works of LM Montgomery, which are in public domain and many of which are available for free online!
