OLIVIA JONES - CLASS TUTOR
As a young child I observed my mother sew. This is where my love of sewing really began to grow. I started sewing small basic things when I was in high school. When I got married and had children I began to sew clothes and other things for my children. Over the last ten years I have been working in the sewing industry. During this time I began to learn basic patchwork techniques. My love of sewing has gradually been passed on to one of my daughters, who has really started to love sewing herself.
