Introduction: Hi, my name is Jennifer and I have been sewing for over 20 years! I am based in the St. Louis area. In 2021 I decided to turn my hobby into a full time freelance business, offering alterations, sewing lessons, and custom designs to residents of Houston Texas. Highlights included showing garments in two fashion shows, and creating a line for the fashion brand Shein! Passing on my skills to others through private lessons is also a huge achievement! I can tutor both younger and older students. I teach fundamental skills in hand sewing and machine sewing, and classes are customized to your learning goals. I have a diverse knowledge of sewing that I am happy to share with my students. My students appreciate my zen-like patience and how I focus on teaching the “why” of each technique. My skills include: - teaching basic and intermediate sewing - sewing commercial patterns - customization - alterations including womenswear, formal, bridal, and menswear - thrift flips - pattern design and drafting - technical fashion illustration (CAD sketch) - repairs - hand embroidery -embellishments I look forward to working with you!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Every tenth hour of sewing instruction is free of charge! A traveling fee of 50 cents per mile is charged for all mobile services. Cancellation policy: The lesson fee is nonrefundable if the appointment is cancelled the same day, and 50% refundable if cancelled one day prior. If cancelled two or more days prior to the appointment, the fee is refunded 100%.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will contact you to set up a consultation call so that we can determine your level of sewing experience, learning goals, and lesson logistics. Lessons are paid for in advance. A lesson must be officially secured up to three days before the scheduled lesson.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Countless hours of dedicated practice. I have been sewing for over 20 years, and currently design and draft my projects. I did freelance sewing work for almost 2 years, working with individuals as well as companies.
