Michelle was bitten by the crafting bug at a very early age. As soon as she could reach the foot controller and fabric while sitting at a domestic machine, she inherited her mother’s Singer Touch & Sew. From that point forward, Michelle enjoyed designing doll clothes, altering garment patterns into costumes, and creating clothing for her friends. After college, Michelle began teaching HS Math but quickly found that she longed to continue sharing her love of creating, so she opened a side business as a freelance sewing, embroidery, and crafting educator. Today, Michelle devotes one hundred percent of her time to her work as a freelance sewing and embroidery educator and consultant. She deeply enjoys teaching techniques, and skills while encouraging everyone to find their inner crafting bug.
