Sewing with Jen R.

I'm a former fashion student who loves sewing costumes! I have over 2 decades of sewing experience - it's a hobby that runs in the family. I received professional training in apparel design and construction at Kent State University. I have created everything from simple bags and pillows to formal gowns and corsets. I have experience teaching college age individuals how to sew, and have facilitated seminars for which I also designed the curriculum. Those experiences have prepared me to develop sessions tailored to individual needs - I'm happy to provide basic sewing training for beginners, or work with someone over multiple sessions to develop more advanced sewing skills. Some things you could expect to learn: - basic hand stitching - how to set up a sewing machine - basic sewing machine maintenance - basic machine sewing - advanced machine sewing - which tools to use for your project - how to install a zipper - creating apparel from patterns - and much more! Definitely contact me if you have questions. I'd love to work with you to create an experience that suits your needs!
