I’m the #1 fashion sewing teacher in the East Coast. I take Beginner students from zero knowledge of the sewing machine and sewing terminology to confidently making a zippered pouch & tote bag as well as a binder full of foundational skills in 5 weeks.
At the Intermediate level they build on their skills by learning to take self measurements, navigate a pattern and make any garments of choice.
At the Advanced level, students learn more sophisticated skills for making lined clothing and get introduced to my specialty patternless sewing method called Freehand sewing.

I found a love for tutoring as a high school student doing community service under the National Honor Society. Helping students to understand topics they couldn't grasp and seeing their progress over time was astonishing knowing my help was actually beneficial. Everyone learns differently and so I cater my lessons to each student individually based on student's learning style, needs and clients request. I have been helping families for over 5 years with Math, English and Social Studies for grade K-12.

The service I offer is catered to meet where the student is at and to understand the needs and the goals of the students. The qualities my students love the best about me is my empathy, patience, passion, and my enthusiasm. I make learning fun and am able to simplify complex alterations. I love to share all of my knowledge so the student can then go out on their own and feel comfortable enough to start making their own clothing.
