Hands-On Home Décor Sewing Workshops

Learn professional techniques. Practice with guidance. Create with confidence.

Join me in my Flowery Branch, Georgia, workroom for small, hands-on workshops where you’ll learn by doing, ask questions as you work, and build skills you can use long after the workshop ends.

DONNA’S HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS

Small Classes • Personal Guidance • Hands-On Learning

SOMETIMES YOU NEED MORE THAN A VIDEO

You can watch tutorials, read instructions, and practice on your own—and still find yourself wondering:

Am I doing this correctly?

Sometimes you need someone to look at what you’re doing, help you troubleshoot, or show you the small details that make the difference between almost right and a professional result.

Sometimes the best way to learn is to put your hands on the fabric and do it—with an experienced teacher beside you.

WHAT MAKES THESE WORKSHOPS DIFFERENT

You don’t need to know everything before you arrive. You just need to come ready to learn.

Leave with More Than a Finished Project

Your workshop isn’t simply about what you make while you’re here.

It’s about what you’re able to do after you leave.

You’ll take home new skills, a better understanding of professional techniques, and greater confidence to make decisions, solve problems, and approach your next project on your own.

The project is where we begin. The skills are yours to keep.

I’ll Be Right There with You

For more than 30 years, I’ve created custom soft furnishings, solved workroom challenges, and refined the professional techniques I now teach.

My workshops are intentionally small, so you’ll have opportunities to ask questions, practice techniques, understand the why, and get help when you need it.

My goal isn’t simply to show you how I do it. It’s to help you understand how you can do it, too.
