I love to foster a lifelong skill and see the spark of learning something new as the joy of projects is completed. Classes are geared to what you want to learn at your pace and skill level. My goal is to surpass your expectations in everything from design to finish.

Fashion Construction Classes/Needlework – Quilting, Cross Stitch, Crochet, Reweaving Damaged Fabric, Embroidery foundational Stitches, Typography and Techniques, Machine Embroidery, and Fine Handwork with beading and sequins on fine Silk Lace for Wedding Gowns and Fine Handwork alterations on Wedding Gowns. Garment design, pattern making, decorative hand stitching including embroidery, handwork designs on quilts, hand stitch repair and redesign, needlepoint, cross-stitch, beadwork for embellishing fabric and lace, and creating beaded matching jewelry.

Together we curate a mood board in your “Designed by Me Journal” workbook that is sent to you via PDF so that you can create your own working Journal & Memory Portfolio! You will receive your own “Ultimate Sewing Kit” list for the tools you will need now and tools you can purchase as you advance in learning the fine art of sewing. Then we will start creating your Sewing Journal Portfolio!

I offer private classes and small group classes for all ages. A group project is chosen on the experience and ability of students. I offer alteration classes starting in your own closet. I also offer gift certificates for birthdays or special occasions. You are worth the investment for a lifetime of designing freedom and custom clothing that you can do on your own putting your ideas and designs on paper, making the patterns, and creating your perfect garment.

I would enjoy the opportunity to share my passion and excitement for sewing with you as you discover your hidden talent and create your own portfolio of designs! Tracy Leigh
