| Instructor Bio: | Meet your Instructor: I’ve been creating and sewing for more than 50 years, and I still love the excitement of taking an idea from a pattern and turning it into something you can actually wear and enjoy. Along the way, I’ve worked in garment construction, alterations, interior design, Heirloom techniques, and many other creative fields, and I’ve had the privilege of teaching people of all ages. I believe sewing is part skill, part problem-solving, and part creativity. In this class, I’m looking forward to helping you take your Lutterloh pattern and turn it into a finished vest—while gaining practical construction skills and, hopefully, having a little fun along the way! |
