| Instructor Bio: | Patricia Morgan. I'm a homeschooling mother of seven, though only 4 are still in school. I run a small hobby farm on the side, but sewing is my passion. I've been sewing for over 25 years and began my career in theatrical costuming. I moved from there to doll making, bag making, and eventually piecing and machine quilting. I still enjoy sewing garments and have made everything from corsets to suits to wedding dresses. |
