I loved my first lesson with Mya. I feel confident to use my machine now as I was a total beginner. I feel like I accomplished so much in our first lesson, and we are going to make a copy of my favorite pair of lounge pants at our next lesson. Mya is patient and relaxed and I really enjoyed our time together.

About Angela C.

Chicago, IL

I have been teaching small group classes of children between the ages of 5 and 13 since 2010. My favorite memory from my earliest class was when my 10 year old student went home and adjusted her mother's sewing machine to sew properly! I have taught classes from very basic sewing machine skills to machine quilting.

I am a professional seamstress and I have created for you a course for beginners that teaches you how to sew basic items in just a few weeks, at your own pace. I also have prepared a kit with notions and fabrics to make it easier for you.

However, if you wish to take intermediate or advanced lessons, you just need to specify what you would like to focus on.

I have worked for fashion designers, and even as an embroiderer, in Paris and in London as well. I also have worked in a theater costume shop which was really fun and finally I have worked as a wedding gown alterationist for several stores in Paris, London and in Utah.
