About Melissa
Most instructors just give you steps to follow to create your project. I work differently. I include, with my lessons, all the background knowledge of construction techniques, fabric and color theory, and suggest products and tools to make sewing easier, and to make sure you have learned what you need to have the best outcomes when you're sewing alone.
It is incredibly magical to assist people in bringing their creative visions to life. The thing I enjoy most about facilitating this kind of technical education, is to see the fierce joy and pride, the overflowing excitement when my student has finished a marvelous and functional project.
I ended up with a job working for Husqvarna Viking/Singer while I was in fashion school. One of my duties was to teach classes for new owners of sewing machines. Once I got started, it was so gratifying to help people realize their creative potential and I've continued ever since.
I've been sewing for 30 years, and I studied fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. I also spent 10 years selling, teaching and troubleshooting sewing machines representing major brands such as Singer, Babylock, Husqvarna Viking, Janome, Pfaff and Bernina, and I taught group lessons at my local JoAnn Fabric.

First we'll have an interview to assess the studen't current sewing level and goals. Next, I'll help you pick out a project and assemble supplies and materials. Then, we'll set a date and start creating!
Mostly adults and teens, some kids.
Everyone has a different teaching and learning style. If you aren't having a good time with someone, try another instructor. Also, as in everything in life, you get what you pay for!
Since I haven't been able to teach because of the pandemic, my students send me pictures of sewing projects they've been able to complete, and it brings me such joy to know they are continuing the craft even though we can't be together.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Think about what kind of sewing you want to do: apparel, quilting, home decor, small crafts, etc. Also, think about workspace in your home, and how much budget you have for equiptment, if you don't have any yet.

Melissa is both knowledgeable and patient. I’ve only had a handful of lessons, but I feel like I’ve learned something new each time, and that I leave each lesson with the confidence to try more challenging projects. I definitely recommend.
