“I never thought about learning how to sew only because I was too afraid… It felt like to much of an advanced hobby for me. I was always curious and Fabric to Fashion showed me you can do several things on a sewing machine with just the basics of sewing. I’ve been sewing ever since!”
- Hanna Rainsford
“They always made me feel confident in learning and now I’m creating clothes for myself!”
