“Sewing Camp has been a fantastic program for Maimoonah to enhance her sewing skills. We really enjoy the program as it is a secure online platform for the kids to learn and explore. I was very uncomfortable with her browsing YouTube videos to learn sewing. Sewing Camp came with the best solution I was looking for. All in one safe place and not limiting the adventures of sewing to the program alone, rather paving the way to go forward in acquiring creativity and embarking on challenging sewing projects. A big thank you to the sweet teacher Eva, who Maimoonah loves to learn from.”

Ms. Evangeline is an amazing sewing teacher. She taught me how to do so many wonderful things, like make a unique pencil roll, a very useful organizer (that I made a while ago but still use!), a holiday banner, and embroidered T-Shirt, and lots of other things. I really suggest taking her classes.

This program is good for you if:
You and your child want to get started in sewing but have no clue where to begin, what supplies to purchase, how to use a sewing machine, or where to even start.
You’re tired of sorting through online tutorials and pining endless pinterest posts of things you and your child would like to sew but have no idea how to.
You’d like your child to learn to sew but it seems to be a lost art and you cannot find any instructors nearby.
You’re tired of spending hours shuffling your kids to yet another extra-curricular activity during your already busy week.
You have a sewing machine that you’d like to finally dust off and pass on to your child.
You appreciate the importance of having a creative hobby, and think sewing would be a good fit for your child!
This class was thoroughly enjoyed by both my son and daughter. 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. During the class, they made many useful projects that they still use and have decorated around our house.

Evangeline’s classes were really fun! We had a variety projects that we made. She was thorough in how she taught and went over every step which made it very easy for me to learn. She also had a lot of supplies :) I loved this class and I can’t wait to do more!

I was very fortunate for my daughter to take sewing classes with Evangeline. She has many years of experience, is very creative and extremely hardworking. All these traits were evident in the beautiful and diverse projects my daughter brought home each week.
Although we do not live in the same city, my husband and I were willing to drop our daughter to these classes to help her gain the knowledge and confidence to pursue her sewing interest. Highly Recommended!

I've had the opportunity for three of my children to take sewing classes with Evangeline. The classes were engaging, challenging (a good thing) and fun! Evangeline is very creative and has a knack for working with young students. She is patient, calm and knows how to inspire kids creativity!
