When it comes to sewing Amanda knows her stuff. I have been sewing with her for over 6 months now, and am loving it.

One thing I love about Amanda is she is a great listener and caters exactly to what you want to learn, or the direction you want to take. I change project direction often and Amanda always flows with it and shows excitement and enthusiasm for all of them! Our lessons are always laid back and fun but at the same time jam packed with valuable knowledge and tips and tricks. Everytime I leave I feel like my brain has expanded tenfold.

Amanda is great too because some days I am quiet and we just sew and learn new things without conversating and she’s cool with that. Other days I’m feeling chatty and we put music on and chill out and sew. She always picks up how I’m feeling and makes me feel comfortable in the lesson.

I am also always surprised how quickly things get done when I have Amanda with me, she is very efficient! I now wear the pieces I make and people cannot even tell I made them! However I still like to have Amanda as my tutor for when I explore a new project or technique.

Her studio is also super relaxing and such a good vibe.

Highly recommend if you are looking to learn or even refine your skills. She is great
