A few words from  past and current students:

  • “In just a few lessons, Allison gave me so much practical information in a clear, straight-forward way that made sense and wasn’t overwhelming.  She tailored her teaching to my learning style and the specific project I was working on and provided countless helpful tips.  Most importantly, she gave me the confidence and guidance I needed to carry out my project.” -Gabrielle
  • “Allison is a wonderful teacher!  She understands that not everyone learns the same way and tailors lessons accordingly.  Her goal seems to be ensuring that her students learn what they need to know, while making things that they want to have.”-Karen
  • “Not only is Allison extremely personable and talented, but she is a terrific instructor.  Allison explains and demonstrates every step, so that even the most inexperienced sewer can understand and replicate.  After two lessons, I literally went from never sewing a stitch to working on my first piece of clothing.  DC is really lucky to have Allison and Bits of Thread!” -Rachel
  • “Allison has a real gift for teaching.  Her thoughtful and patient teaching style has made learning to sew a lot of fun.”- Kristin
