How long have you been a member?
I’ve been a member since 2014.
What do you like to sew?
I really like to sew a little of everything. Most of my projects are shorter projects to try something out for the kids classes I teach or because I need something for a trip. I also have a personal goal to be able to sew my own clothes.
What groups do you participate in?
I am currently the Website Co-chair and I occasionally attend Designing Divas and Tojour Couture meetings.
Can you tell us about a recent project?
I just finished making the Mila Shirt pattern from Indie Sew. I love digital download patterns. I have also been sewing costumes for Fowler Middle School’s Theater program. Over the last 3 years that my daughter has participated in productions, I have had the opportunity to sew a number of strange and interesting things. A few of the projects for the middle school include: giant bugs for their production of James and Giant Peach, orphan costumes for Annie, and the crocodile costume for Peter Pan, and I even hand sewed some “ghosts” out of chicken wire for their production of Triangle.

How do you spread the art of sewing?
I love to teach beginning sewing to young children. I enjoy researching projects and figuring out the best way to make them, and then create my own tutorial. I love to see how excited kids get about sewing. They are fearless and they catch on fast! I believe sewing increases their self confidence and teaches them a useful skill at the same time.
