I am a self-taught knitter and started when I was 10 years old. All I had on hand was scrap yarn, a pair of pencils, and a nicely illustrated book by Montse Stanley. I help students "discover" knitting and guide them towards a strategy that makes sense for each individual. I welcome students of all levels, and I would love to help you find joy in creating beautiful items by way of this amazing craft.

Hand sewing or needlework is an ancient but durable way of sewing, repairing and embellishing garments. It is also very therapeutic. As a matter of fact most high-end clothing like wedding gowns and designer wear are hand sewn. This gives them the supple elegant finish that we all love. Also, when it comes to clothing repair, especially on knits, hand sewing skills come in handy.

This class is tailored very much to your specific need area or goals. From: hemming a garment invisibly, to fixing a tear or a hole in a sweater to hand finishing a lining in a garment. You can learn to embellish your clothing with hand embroidery too. You will feel empowered by the sheer joy of learning to engage your hands in needlework.
