“Laura is one of the very finest educators I have ever encountered! Her incredibly deep knowledge combined with a playful attitude reveals the irreverence and fluency of a true master. I consider myself unbelievably lucky to learn from Laura (my closet is transformed after only a few lessons!) and to have her as a colleague in education. In lessons I get such clear information about specifics, but also about the underlying principles that have historically eluded me. When I'm working on my own, I can hear Laura's voice saying "Yes, you can do that- and here are some ways how!"”
Kate Conklin“Laura was a pleasure to work with. She takes a very creative approach and quickly adjusts to your preferences and experience level. I highly would highly recommend her to anyone with a fun or serious sewing project. ”
Julie McLaughlin“Laura's easy going style always lets the rest of us feel like we're capable of creating something magical even if we might not have her talented designer brain. ”
