About Janna
I've been sewing for over 50 years. In the 60's and 70's girls in high school were required to learn how to cook and sew. It is a lost art that many of you have just discovered, and are anxious to learn. I sewed all of my clothing in high school and beyond, making countless costumes for events, Halloween, and The Coney Island Mermaid Parade, (of which I won 5 times for my costumes) I currently teach from my studio in Historic Kenwood. Please see my website: (concealed information) to learn more about my vast background!
I took draping from Parsons School of Design in NYC. Prior to that I took a semester of Clothing design at Florida State Universtity, and then onto Costume design in Theatre at FSU. I have a BFA in Theatre.

I ask a lot of questions about their skill level, where they want to start, what their overall goals are. I can work with any one on any level. If they express a genuine interest in learning it from the very basic to advanced, then I begin with the fundamentals. I can also guide you through a project you started but are stuck on.

I charge 15.00/hour and request a 3 hour block of time, so students have enough time to really delve deep into a project.
