My teaching style is colaberative and supportive. Usually I will make the same project you desire side by side with you. Not only does it help the student but it also at times provides learning opportunities for me. Additionally In my studio you can try and work with any machine I have so you can experience different equipment and gain confidence.
I have held many sewing classes in my home over the years to help students learn the basics in sewing and to help others finish projects.
I teach embroidery machine classes also.
I’ve been sewing for myself for over 50 years and love helping people learn to sew! I can work from patterns, create patterns from clothing, or work freestyle to create clothing to suit you! I like to work one on one or in small groups and love to teach students of any age whatever it is they’d like to learn.
I am a professionally trained dressmaker that specializes in all types of women's clothes, and some mens wear. I also enjoy teaching others that want to learn.

I've been sewing for 20 years, and have a professional studio attached to my house, so it's private and you get my full attention. We can go as slow as you want and start with the basics, or we can go over pattern Drafting, Corsetry, or higher end gowns. I'm very open to anything you want to learn and I'm happy to work with your schedule. I'm available nights and weekends too since my studio is so close.
