Instructor Stacie Chun sewed her own prairie ruffles, satin rainbows, and corduroy gauchos as a kid in the 1980's. Now she delights in Internet age home sewing & knitting with pdf indie patterns, podcasts, how-to videos, and hashtags. Her three kids keep her informed about streetwear and other matters of coolness, and she loves helping new sewers & knitters stitch their ideas into reality.
