Atascosa, TX Sewing Lessons

I teach all levels including kids 7 and up.

I've been sewing my clothes since 13. I was supporting myself during my years in Art Institute by sewing for clients. After graduating I partnered with SBA Concern and my designs were produced commercially. In 1994 I got award for pachwork design from French magazine "Modes & Travauch". I can teach how to sew from table runner to coat and beyond.

I've been sewing since I was 13. I've sewn things over the years such as dresses, pajamas. I do a lot of tailoring and alterations too. I just love to sew, and I love teaching people to sew too!

The way that I teach is to help the student develop their own style. I have students work on their own individual projects that they pick out while asking me questions that they might have while they are doing their project.

However, if they would like there is an option for me to develop lessons for the student on certain sewing techniques that the student could learn. Although, be aware that learning how to sew takes time and that all the techniques of sewing cannot be done all at once.

Then, there is the third option that the lesson could be a mix of the student doing what they want (choosing their own project) and learning some pre-designed techniques.

My first goal is to give my students all of the tools they need to feel confident from the very first lesson. I would like ...

Students can expect a Systematic Approach to Sewing, what I fondly call the SASsy way. We will start with foundational topics like the Anatomy of the Sewing Machine, building on that foundation one skill at a time. I've learned that remaining motivated to sew often holds people back so I will also teach you how to plan out projects and how to build a sewing habit that helps you see consistent results and keeps you motivated to sew!

Hi! So just a little background. My mother was my teacher at a young age with the basics of sewing by hand with a needle and thread. And then went on to teach me the sewing machine and I haven’t looked back since. I love making zipper pouches, little stuffed dinosaur tails for children and pretty much anything I see around that I like. My latest project was a robe for Halloween which was a wizard robe.

I would love to teach you the basics first like how to use your sewing machine and patch work by hand. Then we can work on a pillow and maybe even some rice heating packs. After that you can choose a pattern to make. Hope to hear from you soon!
