Did you sleep through Home Ec. class? Don't worry! I offer private sewing lessons to help you you masterfully weild needles and thread. You'll get one on one assistance and gain both the skill, confidence, and street cred to take on any project. We work together to custom tailor a lesson (or series of lessons) that will help you achieve your goals and sew the latest trends. Lessons can be taken solo or with another person as you prefer (and as scheduling permits).

Here's a sample of lesson offerings:

 

  • Intro to Sewing and beginner projects
  • Bags and accessories
  • Hemming, mending, and clothing alterations
  • Garment construction for men, women, and children from a pattern
  • Creating patterns from existing clothes or items
  • Pattern making
  • Machine embroidery basics

There are so many many reasons why I am passionate about teaching others (both young & old) to sew. Not only has this art form been lost but it's a vital skill that I promise will inspire you, educate you, and empower you to approach the world of fashion, consumption, DIY, and so much more in a new light.

 

You'll find I have a striking sense of humor and wit. At least I think so anyway. I'm always looking for new ways to repurpose old rags and turn them into something practical. In fact I have an award winning clothing line and brand called TrashN2Tees. Feel free to learn more about it here. In addition to being a published author  I travel across the country leading workshops, lectures, and sewing classes. When I'm not on the road I 


Feel free to email, tweet, call, or send snail mail (People still do that ya know!) with any questions. I'm looking forward to encouraging and supporting your seamstressy pursuits in all their glory.
