MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST

Hi! I'm Marie! I've been designing clothing for over 15 years! When I'm not making crazy, awesome things for www.TrixyXchange.com, I like to teach others how to let their creativity flow. I'm always amazed at the ideas that my students come up with, and find that they in turn, inspire me as well!

    This class is worth the money and then some! I don't even think people realize how much ill-fitting clothes they have and that with basic sewing skills you can make all your clothes fit you like they should! Marie is a patient, knowledgeable instructor and takes the time to find out what you want to learn so the classes are "tailored" (pun intended) to the group! Take this class - and look at your closet a whole new way :)
