My sewing machine is collecting dust in the box and I'm not sure how to turn it on! We sure do. Try our monthly option and we help you create the projects of your dream. This option is for the beginner to intermediate wanting to learn some new skills.
Sewing is such a fun past time of mine. But, I get how daunting it can be! This lesson option includes private instruction, use of our machines (sewing, embroidery, basic quilting, serger, coverstitch, sewing patterns and use of our basic supplies. Have your own machine or looking to purchase one? We can help you find the right fit. We are here to help you! Have some goals in mind? Let us know or choose from some of our project options.
I'm Dannelle, a homeschool mom of five. I have been sewing for 20 years. My background is in education, children's ministry and social work. I like to combine my love for creativity with my passion for teaching. I began teaching my children to sew when they were four years old. Their excitement and eagerness was contagious. Soon I began teaching my friends children and we've grown from there. I love the countless options fabric provides us to be creative!
Mentoring has been a huge part of my sewing journey so I want to be that person for you.
I will incorporate different skills into each lesson to help you progress to the next level. I will be with you through every step of the process!
This option is for private individual or mom and me lessons! Mom and me lessons are great for moms and their children to come create together!

How do your lessons work?
Lessons are taught in my home studio in Lewiston, New York unless pre- arranged prior to lessons starting.
The first part of each lesson provides you with an opportunity to learn a new sewing skill, term or technique. You are encouraged to utilize your sewing journals during this time. Sewing journal kits can be purchased in our shop or bring along your own! The last part of the lesson will be working on whatever project you have chosen. Our lessons are designed to go at your pace. Projects may be taken home each week, but are not required.
I am available every Thursday via text/video message for any questions/ help you may need. I know how absolutely frustrating it can be getting stuck and then you give up! I don't want you to give up :)
*Don't have a machine? WAIT before you buy. You are welcome to use some of mine and get a feel for what makes you comfortable before investing in something! I have tips I've learned over the years in this process I'll pass onto you*
