It's all about Sharing my Creativity at SewWhatYvette.com
I wanted to be a teacher when I grew up. As the oldest of 3 children, when we played school, I was ALWAYS the teacher. And I am a teacher. It comes naturally. I teach sewing, serging and machine knitting lessons and classes and love to share my enthusiasm with others.
These days I’m still teaching, but in smaller private settings. I’m also updating many of my class hand-outs to include the information I included in real-life classes. These are available for sale as downloadable PDF’s in the sidebar at the left.
Learning to make instructional videos, while experimenting with virtual classes keeps me on my toes and happily busy.

Join me on the last Sunday each month at 10 a.m. Toronto time for a “Scrap Happy” Zoom class.
It seems like I need to share my knowledge.
