Jenny Condon is loving the opportunities in life to do whatever she wants to do. She is a wife, mother and grandmother who has always expressed a creative spirit wherever God has led her.  She attended college along with her children, completing a certificate in ministry, bachelor's degree in business management and a master's degree in education.  Jenny  learned to sew in 7th grade home economics and spent every babysitting dollar earned on patterns and fabrics, making most of her own clothing throughout high school and beyond.  Everything in her life has led her toward this dream.  Jenny loves teaching sewing along side of her high school bestie, Donna, and they are having so much fun together are truly blessed and honored to be a part of your child's creative development.

 

Donna Moothart is newly retired from a 30+ year accounting profession and she is a proud mama of 2 daughters. Donna says it was her love for babysitting gigs as a teen that led her to teaching kids' church, Sunday School and VBS over the years.  Her affection for sewing comes from her own mom, who was a home economics major and a master-seamstress and quilter.  Full disclosure - she says she did not inherit her mastery!  But she was fortunate to learn from her, the basics of sewing, how to mend a favorite blouse, and enjoy fun projects such as curtains and costumes.  Now, today, her mom's passion for sewing lives within Donna's heart as she work towards a hobby making quilts as well as teaching the next generation The Art of Sewing.  Retirement is glorious!

Marcia Yancey has been sewing for the last 10 years. She remembers asking her first instructor, "how do you get better?"  She said, "practice, practice and practice."  So Marcia did just that and soon became a sewing and  serger instructor in North Carolina, Utah and now Iowa.  Come join Marcia for a 'master' class and let her show you how easy and relaxing sewing can be.
