Review by Nancy
"I am a very experienced knitter with over 40 years of experience and can say, without hesitation, that Patty is the best knitting instructor I have ever h
ad the pleasure of learning from. I have no doubt that knitters of all skill levels would benefit from Patty's classes. I have taken most of them (on Craftsy, Annie's Attic and Interweave Knits) and found her to be very engaging, logical and thorough. She explains everything very clearly, and provides so many useful tips, even for those who thought they knew almost everything there was to know about knitting. I highly recommend any class taught by Patty and I hope she keeps creating new ones!"

y questions and taught me more than I can remember. Bless handouts."

Review by Judy
"Patty Lyons ROCKS as a knitting instructor. I have taken most of her online classes through Craftsy, Interweave and Annie's and have learned so much. Th
e thing that I love the most about Patty's style of teaching is that in addition to teaching the technique she also gives you insight into the 'why' of what you are doing which has taken my knitting to a whole new level. Additionally, she is funny and upbeat - it's a joy to laugh along with her and feel like she is right there next to you."

Review by Deb
"I had my first lesson with Kim and am so tickled to be able to learn from her via Skype. She was able to clear up every question I had; brainstormed with
me as to how to alter a pattern since the yarn I was using did not fit the gauge; and generally made me feel at ease. I'm looking forward to having future lessons with the ever-so- patient Kim! If you have taken knitting classes in a group and been disappointed, this style of one-on-one interaction will feel sublime! Can't recommend her enough!"

About Molly
Raised in New York city, I attended Stuyvesant High School, the jewel in the crown of the NYC public school system. Traditional academic achievement was not enough for me however, and I went on to study fashion design, honing my artistic skills at Drexel University. Call me a renaissance woman or a Jill-of-All-Trades, I've been employed in fashion houses, graphic design firms and visual effects shops. I've also made my way freelancing as a photographer, web designer, and writer. In addition to this variety of creative skills, I have a Bachelors in Business Administration, and training in Quickbooks. I recently scored a perfect 170 on the GRE verbal, and obtained admission into several competitive doctoral programs in Clinical Psychology.

I realize it is not enough to merely have skills or intelligence in order to be a tutor. One must
be able to convey them to the student in a way that is effective and (hopefully) enjoyable. From the helping students prepare a portfolio for undergraduate admission, to teaching the basics of essay writing, I have a warm attentive attitude that sets students of all ages at ease. My teaching style is focused on the learning style of the person I am working with, tailoring the exercises to help achieve specific goals.

About LILY
I am a fashion designer/instructor and former social worker. I am very patient with students and passionate about sewing. I get excited watching students build skills gradually from basic through advanced level techniques.
Also, I am one of the few teachers in the country who teaches the exclusive "Freehand" sewing, which is sewing without ready-made (commercial) pattern, like our grandparents did.
As a social worker, I taught participants in a homeless shelter, how to make various items geared towards independent living. For six years now, I've been teaching at a fabric store in East Harlem where patrons sign up for group sewing lessons as well as private lessons. I teach garment construction, alterations, home decor, and various sewing projects.

Hello! I'm Barbara.
I am an entrepreneur, business owner, and designer. As a naturally gifted seamstress with some high school and college experience, I've been sewing for 15+ years now and I love it!
My mother first noticed my interest as a child when she saw me making my Barbie dolls clothing out of my old t-shirts. She purchased me my first sewing machine that I still own and use to this day. I've been sewing ever since!
Sewing is fun and easy when you have a great instructor. With me, you will have fun expressing your creativity while learning basic sewing skills at the same time.
