Instructor Bio

Hello! My name is Kate and I am a crafter. I am first a sewist but I do have more skills than that. I have been sewing for the past 6 years after doing my own research during the height of the Covid Pandemic. 3 years ago I started to work at a fabric shop and was given the opportunity to teach. One move, job change and dog later, and I am still teaching and wanting to help people learn. My goal when it comes to teaching is to influence, motivate and enable someone to start their sewing journey.
