Amber has a background in fashion design and a passion for helping kids, teens, and adults learn through hands-on creativity. Private sewing lessons are great for homeschoolers, after-school enrichment, or anyone (age 8+) ready to learn at their own pace in a relaxed and encouraging environment.
“My daughter asks ‘when am I going to hangout with Amber?’ if she hasn’t had a lesson recently. Amber is incredibly patient and the projects are so creative and fun for my 12 year old! It’s been amazing seeing her learn and grow, all while ‘hanging out with’ her favorite teacher.” — Bridgette P.

Why Learn to Sew?
Sewing helps kids express themselves, grow in confidence, and bring their ideas to life—one stitch at a time. Along the way, they’ll make cool projects like bags, clothes, and gifts, all while learning real-life skills they can use for years to come.
