Sew Berna

I am passionate about sewing and teaching sewing. I am able to provide each of my students with exactly what they need to either learn or to improve their techniques. I am patient, enthusiastic, understanding, and an excellent communicator. Additionally, I have decades of experience in sewing and have sewn and sold women's clothing, hats, bags; costumes for dancers, theater, and other performers; and soft goods for the home (e.i. drapes, pillows, bedding, etc.). One project that was especially challenging was the net I made to protect Claude the Albino Alligator's habitat at the Academy of Sciences in San Francisco.

I love sewing because every project is different and some are actually learning experiences for me. Sometimes I encounter fabrics or designs I've never had experience with. Like sewing, each student is different and needs to be taught in a slightly different manner. My attention to each student's needs and my ability to fulfill each student's needs is a testament to my success as a teacher.
