Crafts & Hobbies Lessons in Villanova, PA. It's your time.

Currently I am offering individual and group instruction classes in sewing, cooking, jewelry making, mosaics, furniture refinishing, polymer clay and origami in Aston, PA. I love to teach others what I know and I am willing to share my knowledge and expertise.

Learn to make the one-of-a-kind articles of clothing of your dreams. I will help you:

- Collect the necessary tools and learn how to use them

- Learn to read and work with a sewing pattern. I can coach you through just about any pattern you’re trying to make.

- Learn how to thread and use a sewing machine

You should plan to purchase the following supplies before our first lesson:

- A simple sewing pattern (I can help you find a good one suitable for a beginner before we meet)

- Enough fabric, thread, and other supplies to make the garment

- I can bring my own sewing tools and sewing machine for you to try, if you don’t have your own. This is a great way to help you decide whether this pastime is for you before you invest money in the necessary tools. If want to purchase your own tools before we get started, that’s great too!

Hey all, my name is Lisa and I’ve been crocheting since I was 5 years old. I’ve found that crochet has been like therapy for me when I’m highly stressed and I would like to share my knowledge and experience with others who are looking for a new hobby or a form of mental healing. With me as your teacher, you’ll learn everything from the basics of crochet to reading advanced patterns that will have you feeling like an expert crocheter.

I started sewing at age 8 (thanks mom!)

I have a degree in technical theatre with an emphasis in costume design and technology. I design costumes for community theatres, opera companies and drag queens.

I helped teach sewing and costuming during my degrees. I believe in starting beginners with familiarizing themselves with their machines and how to read patterns.

I would love to share my years of experience designing, sewing and crafting with you!

I am a passionate chess coach available for instruction of all levels. I have been teaching for over 10 years in many schools and training private students. I have helped establish top chess teams recently including NEST+M, PS33, and Success Academy.

Several of my students achieved highest performance awards - top 100 in the country, two of which are now rated as high as 2300. I have taught an advanced class with chess world champion Magnus Carlsen. I make learning and playing chess enjoyable and fun. I have achieved a Candidate Master title with FIDE and USCF ratings of approximately 2100.

I have a business degree in finance from Bentley University and have worked several years on Wall Street. I enjoy all aspects of risk management and how it combines elements along with chess. I love working with children and have a strong track record of making many strong relationships. You will not find a more dedicated coach. My average student gains 200-800 points in strength quickly! Please ...

Critical thinking- strategy and confidence are key to being great in the game of chess- as well as in life. My unique training techniques build life skills that will be used on and off the chess board.
