Meet The Maker

Hello there! I'm Evangeline!

As a former Kindergarten Teacher, a Girl Guide Leader, and a homeschooling Mom of 5, I love working with children and helping them make their ideas come to life. I have been teaching children to sew for the past 12 years in my home sewing studio, local community centres, and schools.

In 2018 I took everything I learned teaching kids to sew in person, and brought it online! Now kids and families can join me from anywhere in the world to learn to sew from the comfort of home. I’d love for you to join me in one of my classes and master the handy skill of sewing with your child!

“Evangeline is very creative and has a knack for working with young students. She is patient, calm and knows how to inspire kids creativity!”

The art class was so relaxing! We learned and practiced different techniques, while creating beautiful art. It’s been such a fun experience!

My daughter attended the sewing classes and I really recommend them. She loves it, and every week comes home with something new and creative that she’s sewn herself. It always surprises me what she can do.

My children learned many practical sewing skills and now have the confidence to safely make their own repairs and work on sewing projects on their own.
