I love to see a design go from a sketch to fully finished. It is an amazing feeling to be able to say you made something yourself. I love seeing people realize that they can do something even though they thought they couldnt or it would be to hard.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
We first start by learning the sewing machine, and how to thread it. We then start to sew by tracing over lines. After that we move on to learning different types of stitching and creatig a reference book with all these stitches. We then start making things,starting out simple, and moving to more difficult things when they are ready.
