About Our Teacher

From the basics of a sewing machine to learning how to do your own alterations to the more in-depth concepts of patternmaking and draping Patti has the ability to teach ANYONE to sew.
Sewing Studio Safety Protocols:
*Create proper ventilation by opening 2 to 3 of the 4 windows in the studio. One window has a box fan for moving air out and an oscillating fan is used for circulating air in the room. 2 smaller fans are available for table top air circulation.
* Clean all surfaces before the student arrives and between use of shared items like iron or rulers.
* Have designated tools for student and teacher when duplicates are available so that tools can be shared as little as possible. Example each has their own set of scissors, pins, tape measure, thread snips, fabric marker, ect.
* Clean the bathroom before the student arrives and after each person uses it. Use only disposable paper towels and not multi use hand towels.
* Wear a face mask indoors at all times.
*Have hand sanitiser available at all times.
* Alert students if any symptoms of Covid-19 (Fever or chills, Cough, Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, Fatigue, Muscle or body aches, Headache, New loss of taste or smell, Sore throat, Congestion or runny nose, Nausea or vomiting, Diarrhea) have been observed in myself and ask them to do the same. Cancel lesson if anyone is not feeling well or finds out they have been in contact with a covid positive person.
* Not share any food or beverage during our lesson. Take off the mask only to take sips of water if necessary and ask students to bring their own water bottle.
* Repeat disinfection protocol on all surfaces and bathroom once lesson is over.
We like to teach individual lessons so that we are able to tailor each lesson to the student’s unique goals. Whether you want to make something for your home or you have a product idea you want to bring to life we are here to teach you how! We are also able to do group lessons of 2 or more if you’d like to bring some friends and can accomodate up to 4 students in a group setting.
If sewing is a skill you’ve always wanted to learn but didn’t know how to start don’t wait another day!
