Working with Iliana was wonderful! I wanted to learn some basics about sewing and she helped me get started. She also gave me some tips on a project I hope to complete one day. I really recommend her lessons for anyone who wants to learn to sew and doesn’t know where to start!

Iliana is a great sewing instructor! I love the fact that she’s very thorough and clear with how she teaches. The first day of being taught by her , I was able to learn so much within a hour timeframe. I would highly recommend her to anyone that wants to learn how to sew quickly within a few sessions.

I started out my first session with Iliana, with technical difficulties. By the time we were finally connected, I had serious doubts as to what could come from the lesson, if anything. But let me tell you that I kearned.more from her in 20 mins than I ever thought possible! She is truly amazing. Not only is she professional, but she is very warm and free to smile and laugh and that is important to me, personally. She added my lost time to our next meeting and I didn't even have to ask. So,so, so glad she is my instructor. Could not have done better!!!
