Welcome! I created Summer Sapphires to share my love of sewing with the world.

I designed the Sewing Machine Basics course to get absolutely anyone up & running a sewing machine in no time! The curriculum is built off years of my own sewing experience & what I learned teaching in-person sewing classes in San Francisco.
