What Students Are Saying...

  • “I've been a student of Christine's for a few years now, and she's an incredible teacher who has upped my sewing skills immensely. When I first started sewing with Christine, I had last used a sewing machine as a kid. I can't believe how much I've progressed and learned under her guidance! Not only is she knowledgeable, but she is incredibly patient and great with beginner sewists. She explains sewing jargon, repeats seam allowances, and encourages questions all without judgment. I cannot recommend Christine's classes enough, and am lucky enough to consider her both a teacher and a friend. Her classes are worth every penny, and I can't wait to keep learning from her.”

    - Willa

  • "Taking classes with Christine has changed every aspect of my sewing, down to the way I iron. She makes even the most confusing pattern instructions understandable and regularly provides multiple ways to approach each step. There are no dumb questions, no mistakes that she hasn’t seen before. My skills have increased dramatically as a result of her teaching. Technically, she could not be more knowledgeable or competent, but her personality is the reason I keep coming back year after year. Christine is funny, approachable, and empathetic. She creates a class atmosphere that cultivates a community. I’ve tried taking classes with other people, but I’m always disappointed. Christine has spoiled me by setting the bar so high!"

    - Christina

  • "Sewing has been my "happy place," for many years. I have been able to master some new skills and enjoy Christine's contagious energy and humor during the various classes I have taken. I love discovering what the other students are making, which has also inspired me. Christine is experienced and flexible enough to help us recognize the difference between when to be particularly careful with our sewing and when we can move right along to the next step and not worry."

    - Jenny

  • "I love Christine's workshops. I sign up even when I’m confident I could sew the garment on my own. I value her deep expertise, fun tips & tricks, and recommendations on fabrics and fitting. I appreciate that I can refer back to the session recordings whenever I need to. But most of all, I keep signing up because she has created such a wonderfully pleasant way to spend time."

    - Sarah

  • "I can’t say enough good things about Christine’s virtual classes! Because of Chirstine’s classes I am a much more confident sewist. Her classes are detailed, well-paced, and I am always learning something new. Most importantly she makes sewing fun regardless of your skill-level."

    - Asheley

  • “Christine’s workshops are the best way to elevate your sewing skills. I know when I make a garment in her class, it will come out infinitely better than if I attempted it on my own. She has so many tips and tricks, not to mention classes with her are just so much fun!”

    - Amanda

  • "Christine is so professional and organized, demonstrates all of the sewing in real time, and is very patient in answering any questions and troubleshooting any issues. Not only am I continually improving my sewing skills, but I also love the opportunity to share my hobby with others and really value the relaxed and inclusive environment that Christine creates!"

    - Amanda

  • “My favorite sewing instructor! Christine has the unique ability to balance attention to detail with an easy going attitude. Her years of experience are evident in her teaching approach - supportive & engaging while teaching proper sewing techniques.”

    - Loren

  • “Christine is a wonderful teacher; she adeptly conveys complicated technical skills in easy to digest ways, even to relative beginners, in a supportive (and fun!) learning environment. I have had lots of sewing firsts in my classes with Christine and saw my ability and confidence sewing grow immensely - all while having fun!”
