    Review of Intermediate Sewing, November 09, 2008

    Sharon Blair is a wonderful teacher who goes the extra mile to ensure that her students are successful. She limits the number of students in each class so that everyone receives plenty of personal attention.

    In this class, we selected either a jeans pattern or a slacks pattern, had the pattern fitted to our bodies, and learned lots of great construction techniques. The result is a pair of custom made pants.

    I was very happy with all that I learned and immediately signed up for another class with Sharon.

    Review of Portland Sewing, November 19, 2008

    Took my first class with Sharon recently, a Fit & Sew Pants class. I was blown away with her professionalism, her teaching style, and great sense of humor. But most of all, I was impressed with the new tips and tricks she taught me! I got a lot out of her class. I am definitely a fan! I will be signing up for more of her classes in the future. She provides A+ instruction. I would highly recommend her!
