Angie is a former high school English teacher who began teaching others to sew when she was 16. With this strong background in teaching and learning, she is excited not only to further experienced sewists’ abilities, but also to introduce others to sewing and fabric arts.
In addition to teaching privately, Angie also teaches for the Park District of Oak Park.
