She created her business, in part, because she believes that knowing how to sew is an important life skill that, if nourished, becomes a hobby, craft, and a great way to express creativity. Sandra loves the ability to create and share with others the one-of-a-kind, handmade items that reflect ones personal style. After working almost 30 years in Community Education, she now offers beginner and advanced-beginner sewing classes that provide a warm, inclusive classroom environment with fun, laughter, and perhaps even new friendships.
