I enjoy teaching apparel sewing and quilting workshops here in my home town of Madison, Wisconsin. My goal is to teach sewing, travel and inspire others to create! Need a motivational public speaker for your large group? Email me for current rates and availability: [email protected].
I have been sewing for a long time. Teaching sewing is one of the things I enjoy most. Anyone can learn to sew with the right instruction! Here are the classes I am currently offering. Classes will be available in video format soon, to get put on the waistlist email me at [email protected].

We will use Simplicity Pattern #S1504 (not included with the sew along video course purchase but you can purchase it here through my affiliate link) for the sleep shirt. This pattern is a good fitting design, and is readily available in childrens, mens and womens sizes. Here’s more about why I chose this pattern for this course:
