My mom taught me to sew at 6 years old and I received a BA in Costume and Textile Design in 1985. For the last 40 + years I have been a costume designer, custom dressmaker for weddings, proms, uniforms until I felt the call to teach sewing classes in 1999. Teaching local, private sewing classes has helped me to develop my own style of interacting with students by keeping the classes small, to have direct interaction with the students. It also enabled me to heed the call to teach classes internationally in Kenya and Papua New Guinea where women needed encouragement in learning this skill.
