Sewing

I teach beginning, intermediate and advanced sewing. I have been sewing since before I can remember, for over 40 years.  I teach sewing after school for several local private schools and privately at home for 10 years.  I currently have 2 former online students in the Fashion Design program at Parson's!!!

I teach students from ages 7 to adult.  Males and Females. I have a great deal of patience with young and inexperienced students.  With older or more experienced students, I enjoy helping them bring their vision to fruition.  


The first sewing lesson is typically how-not-to-break-the-machine, where the student learns about the sewing machine.  Lessons on fabric and pattern layout are incorporated while working on individual projects.  We typically progress from projects with only straight lines - pillows, simple skirts or drawstring bags, to projects that incorporate curves - shorts and shirts.  Beginner students use 100% woven cotton for their first projects, slowly adding fabrics that are more difficult to use.  Hand sewing and embroidery is frequently incorporated into projects.

This is a live online group version of my popular private class covering the basics of fabric vocabulary, measuring, how to read a pattern envelope, how to lay out your pattern. This class does NOT go into garment construction. It covers the bare minimum of information to start using commercial patterns. It is recommended, but not required to have a cut of fabric, a measuring tape and a pattern envelope to look. Examples will be provided. Any pdfs will be made available for download. Class may be cancelled if it does not meet the minimum number of students

I am extremely patient and positive with beginners.  I also enjoy the challenge of helping more experienced students bring their own creations to life.  Lately, I've had several male students making and altering shirts.

I've been sewing as long as I can remember and have been teaching since 2009.

Tracy B is an amazing and talented instructor as well as having a good sense of humor. I have been working with her for nearly a year. She is very flexible in our scheduling.  I have a brain injury so she is extra patient with me and knows how to explain sewing lessons.  I highly recommend Tracy for sewing lessons.

Working with Tracy was a pleasure. I’m a male beginner student and she made me feel comfortable and relax considering that this was my first class. She made sure I understood what she was explaining and demonstrating. I will definitely be taking more classes from Tracy.

Great teacher. Very patient and knowledgeable. My granddaughter and I loved our lesson as did the rest of my family who watched and learned.  We’re looking forward to our next lesson!

I am a beginner and Tracy was very patient. When you come in for your lesson she has a plan set up for your learning process. It is clear that she is very experienced at teaching! I would definitely recommend her.

Great person. Smart and funny. And really patient.

Tracy has been a wonderful teacher. She's extremely patient, and informative, and always accessible for questions.

I came to Tracy with some very specific questions concerning the assembly of a facing on a lapel and a slight adjustment on a sleeve sloper. She was direct and to the point and helped me with exactly what I needed. Would have no hesitation whatsoever in going to see her again with my next question. Thank you!

Very helpful.  Clear explanations.  And went above and beyond to make sure I understood.  Thanks

Tracy was awesome. I learned a lot. She answered all of my questions and gave great advice. I recommend!

I'm having so much fun..with just a few classes I've already made a skirt and a drawstring bag.  Thank you so much!

She is very especificaly, very calm . I like her...
