Amanda Stein –
Anna is a kind and patient teacher ! I signed my teen up for a few classes of hers, and my shy and nervous teen was so empowered learning a new skill from a friendly and peaceful woman! My teen felt right at home , all supplies were included, and she picked up new skills so quickly! We drive 45 min from NLV to attend Anna’s classes, always worth the drive; for the skills learned AND the confidence boost of mastering new and useful hobbys.

My daughter is 8 years old and she has been learning Beginning Sewing with Anna for about three months. We both love the instructor, her fun personality, clarity in providing instructions for young learners, and readily available services like sewing machine rentals and materials. We highly recommend this course/instructor.
