The Lost Art
I believe that everyone should have basic sewing skills, and it doesn’t have to be tedious, frustrating or time-consuming. My goal is to empower people to become makers, to learn new skills which can lead to jobs or small businesses.

I teach Guerilla Sewing, with shortcuts, tricks and designer secrets for professional result. I specialize in beginner students and like to keep it fun. I specialize in beginners with no-tears instruction.

Youtube Tutorials on Singer Heavy Duty Sewing Machine
These videos were created for Truckee Roundhouse students, but are useful if learning to use a sewing machine.

Truckee Roundhouse Maker Space
Before Truckee Roundhouse opened in 2016, I was asked to be Textile Shop Lead Volunteer, to design the Textile shop and outfit it with tools, equipment, supplies, fabrics, notions, etc. It’s now my dream textile shop. 

I teach learn-to-sew beginner, intermediate and advanced classes, including original upcycled design, industrial sewing, serging and pattern making.
