Learn Hand and Machine Sewing with a Life-long Practitioner
I have experience making everything from baby blankets, to curtains, to blue jeans and wedding dresses. I'd love to sit with you and spend some time chatting as we work a little fabric magic.
If you're just learning, we'll begin with hand stitches - running stitch, back stitch, button-hole stitch, hidden hems, etc. Next, you'll learn how to read and cut a pattern. Then we'll start using the sewing machine.
Sewing is an art form that is both practical and fun. You can make useful and fun items for yourself and to give as gifts.
Come, relax, and stitch a little with me.

About Mary Lou H.
4.7
(88)
I graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Science in Education/Mathematics. I am a "real" math teacher.
I have taught math to elementary students, algebra and geometry in junior high and high school, and all levels for college students.
For example, my first student had dropped out of high school and had the opportunity to earn a diploma rather than a GED. She only needed her math credit. I was so proud to share my graduation gown from my closet with her and provide her with an authentic graduation picture when we finished.
I have also helped a grandmother earn her GED, a mother earn her MBA, several young men prepare for the ASVABs (military entry test) and many students navigate through math, pre-algebra, algebra, and geometry courses on their way to high school graduation. I would love for you to be my next success story!

Mary Lou did a great job with my 11 year old daughter, teaching her typing during the summer. I really appreciate her efforts.
