Description:

With almost three decades of experience in sewing, attending a fashion design school, and teaching sewing for over ten years, I have developed expertise in instructing professional clothing construction, basic tailoring, machine embroidery, pattern alterations and drafting, bag construction, and beginner to intermediate quilting.

During my tenure selling sewing machines, I stumbled upon my passion for teaching. My students often describe me as extremely patient and meticulous. Witnessing a client's delight when they create something functional and wearable is the ultimate reward for me.

With Melissa's invaluable knowledge of the fashion and manufacturing industry, I was able to come up with a design that was not only functional and attractive, but also cost-effective. From my experience, I highly recommend her for any cut-and-sew project.

Melissa has been exceptional in every aspect of my experience with her. Her professionalism, punctuality, sense of humor, intelligence, and ability to engage are nothing short of outstanding. She is adept at tailoring her teaching approach to meet students at their level, while ensuring they feel comfortable and at ease. Melissa expertly handles classes with students of varying skill levels, all while bringing in her own work as examples of inspiration. She excels at guiding students in setting goals that are both challenging and realistic, without overwhelming them. As a patient and skilled teacher, there is no doubt that I would sign up for her classes again without hesitation. She truly deserves a gold star! P.S. The photo below is a testament to Melissa's teaching, as it is my second project after only six lessons. As an absolute beginner who had never worked with a pattern or sewn a garment before, Melissa's guidance has been invaluable.

For the past eight years, I have collaborated with Melissa and my sewing skills have made substantial progress, from a beginner level to an upper intermediate level. I never believed that I could become so competent. In junior high, I took sewing, but I despised it. However, with Melissa's valuable guidance, I found myself getting more engaged and impassioned about sewing due to our stimulating projects. As a result, I am now capable of creating handmade gifts for all family occasions. Even when we tackle complex projects that require vogue patterns, Melissa's calm patience and motivational skills never fail to impress me. Moreover, her sewing machine expertise is remarkable. For anyone out there seeking a sewing instructor, I highly recommend her.
