ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Brenda Holts

​Passion & Talent

It has been my passion since I was 6 years old, to create, to sew, to design.  For 30 years I have been and am  an experienced fashion designer, custom dressmaker and "Alterationist". I still enjoy creating my own designs and producing fashion shows, but my goal is to teach that which I have accumulated over the years to the next generation, because I think it's becoming a lost art.  I want to be able to share my knowledge of sewing so that the passion can continue into the generations to come. In my experience, the one thing that makes a good designer is their ability to sew, which is why I am currently teaching sewing classes for kids with several Home school programs and creating individual online sewing classes for Adults.​
