Sewing was something I taught myself when I was younger. I saw clothes that did not fit some of my loved ones and I wanted to change that. Sewing became a love of mine that took me though all the courses available in high school, college and grad school and inspired me to pursue a career with it.
I began teaching young children and adults with no experience or basic experience through community outreach and summer programs.
As a designer, pattern maker, and seamstress with more than 15 years experience, my clothing brand, sewing classes and mobile alterations service allows my customers to enjoy clothing that fits. Clothes you buy should fit your body, and I design and alter clothing with your body in mind.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is set hourly. I also provide additional Add-Ons ( NOT included in class hourly price) for those students interested. Some of those include a sewing class box ( which includes fabric and various supplies shipped to your home prior to the first class), digital patterns for printing ( can be customized to your measurements before a project begins), and small business design support ( for those starting a business and want to learn more regarding tech packs, factories, and production)
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically with a new customer, the 1st session is reviewing supplies and setting up the machine, and understanding what they are looking to gain/ or learn from the class. I like to tailor my teaching to each student as I understand everyone's learning style may be different. Some students want to learn with a project like sewing a skirt. Some like to learn construction techniques and build a library to reference first before making a item. I provide sew supply lists and hands on help when shopping to ensure you are learning through every step.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BS in Fashion Design and Merchandising and a Masters in Fashion design, along with 10plus years of working in the fashion industry as a designer and technical designer.
