Review by Michelle
"As I have gotten older I needed something to occupy my free time. I decided I wanted to learn to crochet and knit so I could make stuff for my grand babi
es. I found Sandra' information online and I couldn't be more satisfied with her teaching abilities. I learned basic crochet techniques and when I feel more comfortable I will definitely be giving her a call."

About Sandra
Crochet is a fun and portable craft that keeps your mind and hands busy. Since the early 80's, I have been crocheting and knitting although I am much more proficient in crochet.
I feel like I am a successful teacher since I have an easy going, friendly manner that helps take the stress away from learning a new skill. I like to meet my students in person in the safety of a public place like a coffee shop or library near their home.
I think it helps to be present and able to see how the student is holding the hook and yarn and help them make any adjustments if needed. It's also nice to be able to give encouragement and any suggestions when I'm sitting right next to a student.
I will bring extra hooks and yarn for you to practice with, plus written tips and cheat sheets. All you have to do is show up and have fun learning to

About Adenike
Hello,
My name is Adenike, you can call me Adé. I'm a trained fashion stylist and designer with a degree in Fashion Merchandising and Design from the University of Rhode Island.
I have taught sewing and design, to people of all ages, genders, and abilities throughout my professional career. It began in 2002 when I decided to work with the Americorps, Teach America program. There I created and executed a lesson plan that taught students how to sketch, render, sew, read patterns and adjusts garments for personal to suit their personal needs. The program incorporated science, math, and history so that they had a practical and anthropological approach to fashion design. It was great, and I discovered that one of my other joys in life is teaching.
Most recently, I've worked with Hobby Quest, where I teach children in an after schoo

Most recently, I've worked with Hobby Quest, where I teach children in an after schoo
l setting. Hobby Quest requires an extensive background check because of that fact that work is done with students on school grounds. I can supply references that will attest to my professionalism and easy going nature.
It's recommended that you schedule for a minimum of 60 minutes to get the most out of your lesson.
*IMPORTANT* Potential students interested in working on projects will be asked for project details and current sewing ability.
If a student is a beginner sewer, then he or she will be required to have a complete command of fundamental sewing as well as basic machine knowledge before introduction of project. There will be no exception to that rule.

About Katie
My first knitting student was my mom! Hey, my name is Katie. I'm looking forward to meeting you and helping you fall in love with knitting!
I loved teaching my mom knitting because she taught me so many different skills and I enjoyed spending time with her and teaching her something new. In college, I started a knitting club with my roommate and we knit in the library on the weekends. I taught my friends how to knit their first hats, scarves, and pot holders.
I love to knit, crochet, run, make jokes, and get to know people. I can't wait to meet you! I'm easy going but I will also challenge you to knit and crochet well. I look forward to checking out what projects you'd like to create!

About Monique
Hi! I am a stylist with over 15 years of experience. I started at around 12 years old teaching myself how to braid. Soon after I was being asked by all my friends and family to do their hair! I wanted to make a career of it so I went to school here in Georgia and began styling hair for some of the reality stars you see on tv today. I have always taught my clients how to maintain or do their hair at home when they aren’t able to come to me. I am very excited to be your teacher as well!

About Wendi
HI, I'm a self-taught designer and decided to follow my passion after being pushed by others who love my work. After helping many friends and family members decorate and create their unique spaces. I wanted to help others have a wonderful space to return to.
I have worked with about every kind of style and nothing scares me. I have the ability to create and teach others to be bold. Your home and office should reflect who you are. You also don't have to break the bank in doing so. I have taken garage sale finds and turned them into beautiful pieces. There are certain elements that you must have in any room to make it complete, and I know how to do this.
I also can organize every room in your home to help you save time in your everyday life.
I hope to meet you soon.
