​Where are the lessons?


Lessons are conducted at my sewing studio at 301 Daniel Webster Highway in Merrimack, NH. The property sign will say Thornton's Landing.












How are lessons conducted?


Since classes are individualized, lessons are different from other places in that we first begin by discussing your sewing goals, then find a mutually agreeable time to meet weekly. Each student works on their self-selected and teacher-guided project. This results in learning more quickly and getting a lot of individualized attention and instruction. Beginning students are encouraged to take a few private lessons prior to joining a semi-private session.



What do I need for materials?


Supplies are generally included in the class fee, however I do have tools that students can use (scissors, measuring gauges, pins, etc.) until they get their own. Once a project is selected, I let students know verbally or in writing which materials are required. I also carry a limited supply of fabric and notions (thread, elastic, etc.).


Cost of lessons/group classes?                                                 

Lessons are an hour-and-a-half. The length of group classes varies based on the project. Rates are as follows:

  • Semi-private (2-3 students): $25/hour  
  • Private lessons:  $40/hour
  • Group classes: Varied price based on length of class and supplies needed


Sessions are prepaid before or day of the first class. Payment options include cash, check, credit card, and PayPal.



What is your cancellation policy?


I reserve a specific time slot each week for students. Because of this, I ask that any cancellation of class due to an emergency or unavoidable situation be made up within the week, if possible. Knowing that special circumstances can and do arise, I ask for a 24-hour notification of an absence. If I cannot "fill" your spot, I ask that one session's fee be used, as this continues to reserve your spot and time slot while you're away. Frequent missed classes will result in a forfeit of that class's fee and may jeopardize continuation with classes. Please communicate any special needs with me and we can work out something that is mutually agreeable.
