Tired of paying for alterations? Interested in giving your wardrobe a DIY makeover? Whatever your needs, my classes cater to your goals.
I learned to sew in a high school Costume Design class when I was 15 and I haven't stopped since. In 2013, I received a Bachelor's Degree in Fashion Design after which I started a cottage business making women's clothing and accessories.
My skills are specific to pattern-making, machine sewing, hand sewing, basic alterations, and how to start a fashion business.
I believe that with a strong sewing foundation you will find endless capabilities.
My classes are offered to children to adults, all ages welcome! I look forward to hearing about your sewing goals!

The energy that my first time sewing students bring to the very first class is wonderful. They are so excited about the creative possibilities that learning to sew will bring them. Often this excitement is tempered by the fear of using a sewing machine.
