About Mandy
I have been teaching both children and adults since 2006 and love it! I have background teaching both classes and privately and cover most creative topics, including but not limited to garment sewing, quilting, knitting, embroidery, punch needle and Cricut. I am comfortable with most sewing machines/sergers, though if you need help understanding your machine, I'll need to know make/model details to confirm my knowledge. During the pandemic, most/all classes will need to occur through distance learning. (Zoom or the like)
I love helping people understand their own creativity. I consider it a developable skill, rather than innate talent. Learning to believe in one's own capacity for creativity is an amazing thing to be able witness & facilitate.
Starting in 2006 I worked as the director of a children's art center in Jacksonville Florida. I worked for several years as a professional police dog trainer, then transition to private dog training. All the while my personal interests laid in crafting and creating. When I moved back to the Indianapolis area in 2013, I decided to apply my teaching & training background to my passion for creative living. Since then, I've taught private classes, party and group classes, and have been an educator for the Greenwood Jo-Ann's since 2018-- teaching sewing, quilting, knitting, embroidery and Cricut classes.

Clear information, extremely patient, kind and generous with her knowledge.
Mandy not only explained things very clearly, but she made learning fun, (even the challenging parts that would usually make me frustrated!). She also is incredibly generous with her time and expertise—she gave me tips and advice on various other projects as well.
Mandy’s glowing personality lends itself to encouraging her students while still instructing clearly and delivering kind correction. She is so willing to share simple and quick tips, tools and tricks that make a vast difference in the outcome of a project.
My favorite example is my use of a rotary cutter. I started to cut my fabric and Mandy kindly asked, “Can I teach you a quick tip to improve your cutting?” Of course, I said “Yes!!” Turns out, there is a right and wrong way to hold a rotary cutter and it really does make a difference!!!
I have been able to tackle projects I thought were vastly out of my beginner sewing skills because of Mandy’s encouragement. I can not recommend her mad teaching skills enough!!!View more recommendations
