"Stella is a wonderful teacher. What I had been unable to teach myself, she taught me in no time. Patient, thorough, funny, interactive and did I say pat
ient? And in seconds, she knew my machine better than I. And who knows, I may decide to learn a new craft just so I can continue working with her."

About Renee
I grew up in Los Angeles surrounded by a family of artists and designers. Following my career in fashion and costume design, I began making one of a kind silver jewelry. I have been working with fine silver for 8 years, selling my design pieces in art galleries and online.
I have always tried to share my passion for all things artistic with my two children. By volunteering to run art projects at their school, I discovered the joy of teaching. I decided to combine that with my sewing expertise to help children and adults realize their creative vision. I like helping students explore their ideas while making a project come to life on the sewing machine.

About KIM
I am a fashion samplemaker, and a devoted sewing teacher! My greatest joy is seeing my students master new skills, empower themselves through crafting their own style, and applying their learning throughout their lives. I maintain a blog on Tumblr where you can see some current and past fashion samplemaking work (as released by the designer themselves) as well as video tutorials that I've made.
While I am patient, my enthusiasm is palpable during each lesson. Each lesson is designed for maximum student engagement using a show-not-tell approach. Sewing is a hands-on enterprise! So, I do my best to empower each student with each lesson.

She took me from knowing nothing at all about sewing to being able to make my own work-out tops. Then she taught me how to make work shirts, and soon together we will start making my first pair of pants. (If you're as tall as I am, you know this is a very big deal.)
Friends and coworkers, for the first time, they're seeing me in clothes that fit my arms and shoulders properly and they ask where I got them. I feel really good about that, and I don't have rashes under my armpits from too-tight "XL" shirts.
If she can get my burly dopey butt to learn to sew, she can teach anyone.
She also has a stocked sewing studio. Most lessons I go there to learn, but I've also had her visit my place. I prefer to go there, if you need a button or fabric, she probably has it, and will let you buy muslin from her instead of taking a special trip to the Garment District to get it.

I am a current freshman at Cal State University of Long Beach and I will be majoring in Business! From a young age I spent most of my time with my grandma. She taught me many things and to this day I have her and my mother to thank for who I am today. I am a person with many talents. I dance, I am a perfectionist, I love to decorate, I love designing rooms and homes, as well as fitness!
💃 I have been dancing my whole life ever since I was a little girl. At the age of 14, I enrolled in my high school's dance department. WIlson Classical High School has won 1st place in many Las Vegas Dance Competitions every year and have also performed at Disneyland yearly.

assion for dance grows every day!
I teach beginning dance and intermediate dance as well as hip-hop, jazz, contemporary and lyrical. I also teach Intro. to Ballet. My goal after every class when I teach dance is for every one of my students to leave feeling confident in them self as a dancer, happy, open minded, more knowledgeable in the art of dance as well as the specific techniques that are important to dance that is taught in Intro to Ballet.
The thing i love about dance is that it is not only fun but it is also healthy and it helps build confidence and relieves stress! Allow me to help you achieve your goal whether it's to loose weight, get toned, or to just do all in 1!
🌹 As for floral arrangements and catering, I have a passion for that too. I absolutely love decorating and arranging flowers. Whether is for weddings, birthdays, parties or even its just for the home that you live in! I am a perfectionist however I am very open-minded about my clients taste and I will do my absolute best to make sure their vision come to life! Check out my Instagram pages:

If you don't have an Instagram you can also google my usernames and search Instagram!
🏡 When it comes to interior design as you might have guessed, I also love interior design. Growing up I never had my own room, so, as a young girl I loved to draw. I drew my own dream rooms on paper and now I even help my friends rearrange their rooms as well as decorate and even tidy up a bit. I can make a small bathroom look like an absolute luxury bathroom with the simplest things like adding a candle or even just painting the walls a different color. Small details like that can really make a difference! As I mentioned before, I am a perfectionist and if anything, everything will look it's best. From a modern clean slate look, to a 5 star hotel, to a bachelor pad in LA, I can design almost any room to the best of my abilities based off of what my client wants!
💄 And for makeup, yes, haha, I love makeup too. What can I say? Master of almost anything? Anyways I have been wearing makeup since the 8th grade. Yes I wasn't Kim K. or Kylie when i first started but i definitely learned ever since. I am a quick learner. I am self-taught and I know how to make your makeup not look cakey and hopefully last all day! Whether I am doing your makeup or teaching you how to do your makeup or teaching you how to do makeup on someone else, you will not be disappointed. I learn to work WITH my clients face not AGAINST, meaning if I do your makeup, you won't look like a completely different person. For example, if you have no eyebrows, no problem girl, I'll make sure you have eyebrows that perfectly frame your face. Also, I never judge my clients on how they look with or without makeup because everyone is beautiful and WE ARE ALL HUMAN! It's just makeup and sometimes makeup is a personal thing as is all depends on what my client wants. From the "no makeup" makeup look to full glam like Kim K. to drag, I can do it all to the best of my abilities! And yes i know how to match the perfect foundation to your skin tone as well! The base of the makeup is very important for a perfect makeup look! If it doesn't match its wack!
💌 Any other questions just ask! I would be happy to help and if you have read everything thus far, thank you so much for taking the time to read about me! I will reply either immediately or the same day!
