Dean S.

1 Sewing lesson

She also quickly assessed my skill level and goals and was able to fit an amazing amount of instruction and discussion in just an hour. When she left, I kept sewing and broke the needle on the machine, but was able to replace it, thread the machine again, and pick up where I left off. Although my needs are incredibly basic (I'm just making cloth bags), she quickly identified areas where she could help streamline the process as well as my technique.
John Z.

2 Sewing lessons

She is very knowledgeable and rather concerned that my fingers get too close to the needle : ) I'm more that happy with her knowledge, patience, and concern for my safety as well as making me understand, not just showing me how something works. We've already made plans for lesson two. Zipper is done, now to the rest of the project! Jeanne is an excellent teacher and I would recommend her to anyone looking for sewing help.
Anonymous A.

1 Sewing lesson

At the sewing lesson, I was expecting at least to sew, but all this time we spend talking about my projects. I made 1 very insignificant stitch. I thought that I spent enough time by covering details of our lessons in the email. And was hoping we wouldn't have to spend much time by doing it again, but I was wrong. This lesson was very uninspiring.
