I always feel like a proud Mom when my students reach the level of confidence that they push me away and say “Ms. Bobbi, I got this!” For example, for the past several weeks we have been practicing sewing curves. February is the perfect month for this skill. We stitched big hearts and little hearts. They weren’t all perfect, but they were stitched with love by the kids for their parents. And, best of all, they started to understand how to stitch a good-looking curve and without my help! Learning to sew and loving it!

I find that the hardest part of teaching sewing is to remind each student that sewing is a learned skill. It is not a competition with anyone else. It is individual journey. For each project in sewing that you stitch your goal is to understand the techniques used to complete the project. Whether it takes one class session or five class sessions, the mindset should be one of understanding the process and not who is finished before you! The main goal of all my classes are centered around learning to sew and loving it!
Sewing is a creative art form meant to enjoyed in a stress-free environment. The joys of sewing last a lifetime for my young sewers and each student will have a different journey based on personality and their individual tastes. My continuing goal is that each of my students will have a positive and very rewarding experience learning to sew. And, I am so honored to teach all my students the joys of sewing and will continue to do so for a long time! It is after all my passion and my life!
