My classes have been developed to offer both home sewers and sewing professionals the opportunity to take a comprehensive look into particular aspects of sewing and design. Classes typically take one of three formats:

  • Shorter classes and lectures, which provide a solid introduction to various topics, offered at events and in locations across the country.

  • In-depth classes, which I call Intensives. These classes take place over several days and are usually a combination of lectures, demonstrations, hands-on experience, and lots of individual attention. These classes provide the opportunity to be with others interested in sewing and to also learn from their projects.

  • Sewing retreats, where I work with students individually on whatever they are currently interested in (for example, fitting, pattern work, construction, design) for one to several days.

I usually teach Intensives and retreats out of my studio in the Sparks/Hunt Valley area, north of Baltimore, but occasionally I offer these types of classes at another location. For more information about studio accommodations and visiting the area, please see Travel Info.

I hope you'll join me for a class so that you can integrate new information and experiences with the skills you've already mastered. It's a wonderful way to spark your creativity!
