Teaching Style:
I would call my teaching style friendly & professional. My approachable style makes for a relaxed class whilst giving individual support to every student to encourage them to learn and grow their techniques and to reach their goals.
Something Unique:
I made a Bean Bag for my husband’s iPad which I did not realise would take me around the world. My friend who is involved in a book club saw it and asked if I could make her one. My love of sewing and machine embroidery escalated from there. I started getting authors logos digitized and embroidering their design on my bean bags.
I was invited to be involved in the Sydney Author Event in 2014 and my Bean Bags were a big hit. I had boxes of pre orders to deliver as well as meeting some genuine authors and readers who loved my practical as well as useful Bean Bags.
My friend named it the Kindle Couch. I’m still involved with the author event as well as making and posting my Kindle/iPad Couch around the world.
