Let's Create Together

My name is Beth


Creativity is the essence of who I am. Since I was a child I wanted to be “an artist.” That has taken many forms over the years... especially sewing. My love of creating flourished in college theater and has since grown into teaching all ages and skill levels. It is my joy to see students come to class worried and insecure but leave confident and excited about sewing.

​My years of experience (and, I am told, a very patient personality) move me to the next phase of my creative journey: 
Artisan Sewing & Fashion Academy. Now both here online, and in person in Maryland, it is a place to pass on my passion and to let students learn at their own pace.

Zip a Jacket, a Dress, Jeans, or a Bag


This course will showcase the different types of zips and how to install them.

You will follow step by step instructions to achieve beautiful results.

Unlock the door to finishing amazing creative projects.



(General sewing knowledge and a few supplies are helpful in order to complete the practice instructions)
