Meet the Instructor
Hello everyone! I'm so excited to share my love of sewing with you. For the past 15 years, sewing has been a constant source of joy and creativity in my life. But my passion for making things doesn't stop there! I've also spent 20 years exploring the vibrant world of painting and the cozy craft of crocheting, not to mention countless other creative endeavors.
​
What's my experience with teaching this medium?
Over the years, I've discovered that sharing these skills is just as rewarding as practicing them. I love guiding students through the process of learning something new, whether it's mastering a tricky seam or understanding the perfect fabric choice. I'm dedicated to creating a supportive and encouraging environment where everyone feels comfortable exploring their creativity.
​
What do I love about teaching?
What truly fuels my passion for teaching is seeing that spark of understanding ignite in my students. Those 'aha!' moments, when a concept clicks and a project comes together, are absolutely priceless. I believe that learning to create with your own hands empowers you in incredible ways. It fosters self-sustainability, builds confidence, and fills you with a deep sense of pride in your work.
​
I'm thrilled to embark on this sewing journey with you and help you discover the joy of creating something beautiful and unique. Let's make something amazing together!
