Hi, I'm Susan

I'm an artist, educator, and founder of Atelier Classes. At my in-person studio, sewnow!, my team and I taught thousands of people to sew - 99% of them were complete beginners.

Sewing Foundations is founded on that proven curriculum; now adapted into a self-paced online course with step-by-step video guidance. You’ll learn in your own home, and on your own timeline, with live Zoom support sessions.
