The Best!!

Lissa walked me through making a shirt and it was so thorough and helpful! She taught me some sewing techniques along the way that I will continue to use that made the process easier as well. You can tell that she cares about her students and helping them. Can't wait to come back and take another workshop or class! Thanks Lissa!

Highly recommend!

This class is so fun and practical, and Lissa is a great teacher! She makes sure that you have the opportunity to customize your shirt, while still learning the pattern basics.
