________________________________________________________________________________________ I have been a "Kids
Can Sew and Fashion Design" sewing instructor for four years. I have enjoyed making many of my own clothes
and other sewing and crafting projects for more than 30 years. When I was in Junior High School, a lady in my church
took the time to teach me and my sister how to sew. I will always be grateful to her for teaching me a skill that is not only
useful but an activity I truly enjoy. I am excited about passing this skill along to others.
I have worked
with children for many years, as a preschool teacher, as well as an AWANA and VBS leader in my church. I have also taught
craft projects to women at my church. My favorite thing about working with children is watching their faces light up when
they learn how to do something they didn't know or think they could do. That's why teaching both kid's and adults how
to sew is so rewarding.
When I discovered the "Kids Can Sew
and Fashion Design" program, it seemed like a great way to combine two things that I love to do (sewing
and teaching). It has also allowed me to help out my family financially and still have energy and time to spend
time with them.
I believe, and studies have shown, that "hands-on" activities such as painting,
drawing, sewing, etc. increases creativity in children. These kinds of activities also help children to develop patience,
perseverance, and problem solving skills.
I invited you to join in the fun and learn a lifelong skill in
the process.
