Additional Class Details

Commit to Your Craft

Some sewing skills can’t be learned in a single afternoon.

This mentorship package is designed for students who are ready to build real confidence through consistent practice, personalized instruction, and ongoing guidance.

Whether you’re learning from the very beginning or working toward advanced garment construction, each lesson builds upon the last so you leave with lasting skills—not just a finished project.

Every mentorship is customized around your goals, experience level, and creative interests.

Together we can work on:

• Sewing machine confidence
• Reading commercial patterns
• Garment construction
• Alterations
• Home décor projects
• Fashion design fundamentals
• Finishing techniques
• Building sewing independence
• Portfolio development for fashion school

No two mentorships look exactly alike because no two students have the same goals.

Portfolio Development for Future Fashion Students

As an FIT Fashion Design graduate, I understand what admissions programs look for and can help you develop projects that strengthen your portfolio while building the technical skills behind them.

Whether you’re preparing months in advance or refining existing work, we’ll create a plan together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need sewing experience? Not at all. This mentorship is customized for beginners through advanced students based on your current skill level and goals.

Do I need to bring my own sewing machine? Nope! Everything you need is provided. If you’d like to learn on your own machine, feel free to bring it along.

How long is each lesson? Each session is 60 minutes. If you’d rather spend longer working on larger projects, your six sessions can also be scheduled as three 2-hour lessons.

How do I schedule my lessons? After purchasing your package, we’ll schedule your sessions individually around both of our availability. This allows flexibility as your schedule changes.

Can you help me build a fashion portfolio? Yes! Many students choose this package to prepare for fashion school applications. We’ll create projects that develop both technical skills and portfolio-quality work.

What’s the difference between this and booking individual lessons? Private lessons are perfect when you need help with one project or want to learn a specific skill. The Mentorship Package is designed for long-term growth, structured learning, and ongoing support between lessons.

What if I need to reschedule? Sessions may be rescheduled with at least 48 hours’ notice. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice will count as a completed session.

Do all six sessions have to be scheduled at once? No. Your sessions are scheduled individually based on our availability. This gives you flexibility while keeping you on track toward your sewing goals. All sessions must be completed within six months of purchase.

Where does the class take place? Sessions are held in my studio in North Bergen, NJ, just minutes from James J. Braddock Park. The exact address is shared after booking.

What if I’d rather have my lesson at my location? Travel is not available for this package.
