Hello! You want to learn to sew? I'm Timpla and I can help you!
FEEDBACK FROM MY PREVIOUS STUDENTS:
"It was great! I learned so much about my sewing machine."
"Had a great time Timpla! I was able to hem my daughter's skirt and repair a shirt sleeve. Looking forward to next time."
"I definitely benefited from the class! Thanks so much!!!"
I LOVE helping my students conquer their "fear" of the sewing machine, which unleashes excitement about their potential to sew unique items for themselves and others.
I've been sewing since I was a young girl, learning from my grandmother.
My experience includes sewing women's and girl's apparel, home decor, and quilts. I decided to start teaching private and group lessons after receiving many requests from friends and acquaintances.
I look forward to helping you develop the

About Kodjo A.
CloseAbout Kodjo
Most people simply call me Joe. I have a bachelors in Fine Art, an MBA and been making clothes for my clients for over 25 years. I taught many people sewing and they've gone ahead to tackle various projects on their own to their own disbelief. Creativity comes to me naturally and with a background in figure drawing and painting, my knowledge of anatomy of the human figure helps a lot in translating it into designs for all figure types and sizes. I have handled many interior design projects also, so all these experiences equip me with immense knowledge to transfer to those who want to learn all about sewing, whether as a beginner, an intermediary or advanced student.

About Caitlin T.
CloseAbout Caitlin
I am 28 year old university student. I have been interested in astrology, tarot, reiki, and alternative medicine since I was young. I was raised in an open minded household with many books on astrology, mediums/psychics, past life theory, and other occult subjects. I have recently been interested in how astrology pertains to physical health and emotional healing. The birth chart is a universal blueprint of our personal experience in this life, and a thorough reading can unlock many hidden potentials. I'm excited to share this knowledge with other people!
