Easy? Yeah, Right!


Pattern companies mean well with their labels.

"learn to sew"

"easy"

"fast"

but they assume you know things!


In this class, you will learn the information you need to create your sewing projects successfully.







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.

Dream it. Create it.



It all starts with a little understanding of some basics.

Add in some practice.
