Instructor Bio: | Hi, I’m Ericka I got my first sewing machine when I was eight years old, and I’ve been sewing and quilting ever since! What started as a fun hobby turned into a real passion—and since 2014, I’ve been teaching others how to sew, too. I teach both kids and adults, sometimes even in schools and with special needs students. As a mom of four, I know how to keep things fun, flexible, and encouraging for all ages and learning styles. I especially love quilting, making baby clothes, and crocheting whenever I can find a quiet moment. These days, I get to do what I love every day with my mom—we’re partners at Thread and Paper, and it’s such a joy to create and teach together. Whether you’re brand new to sewing or just looking to learn something new, I’m always excited to help others get inspired and feel confident behind the machine! |
