My Mission Statement:
I am committed to helping home sewers develop the knowledge and skills they need in order to bring their creative vision to fruition.
I am your average woman who was taught how to sew by my grandmother. I am old-fashioned at heart and still sew using the Bernina that was my grandmother’s machine from the early 1970′s.
The blog and podcast get its name from the fact that I have the good fortune of having the sewing cabinet that my grandfather built for my grandmother.
I began my career teaching teaching special education before becoming a professor of educational psychology. Later, I became an administrator teaching professors how to teach. Recently, I joined my expertise in how people learn with my passion for sewing to share the joy of the creative process to home sewers.
Professors are “professional learners” and as part of my professional (and personal) development I am studying fashion design at a local school (not FIDM). Every class meeting is exciting to me because I can’t wait to share with everyone what I have learned and how it fits in with the home sewing process.
I do hope you will join our community of home sewing enthusiasts!
