Sewing

Sewing can be intimidating for a lot of people, but it's easier than you think and it's a great skill to have!  It's time to dust off that sewing machine and let me show you just how fun and easy sewing can be!  


I took my first sewing class in 6th grade as an elective and fell in love!  I continued taking sewing classes throughout middle school and got my first sewing machine for my 13th birthday.  In high school, I contributed dozens of costumes to the drama department and made my own dresses for dances and special occasions.  As an adult, I've made everything from curtains to Halloween costumes.  I know my way around a pattern, how to choose fabrics, the best kind of thread to use, and hundreds of little tips and tricks to make a picture perfect project without pulling your hair out! 


Join one of my classes and I'll show you how to sew just about anything!  I always discount the first class 50% off class fees for first time students so why not give it a shot!  Don't have a sewing machine?  Contact me and I'll see if I can hook you up with a loaner.
