About Laura

I’ve always been drawn to beautiful things, especially beautiful textiles—their colors, textures, and the way they can completely transform a person or a room. My love of sewing began as a teenager when I discovered that if I couldn’t find exactly what I imagined, I could simply make it. That passion led me to study textiles at the University of Georgia, where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree and deepened my appreciation for the artistry and versatility of fabric. When my daughters were born, sewing became a way to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces for them. I made their heirloom dresses using techniques such as smocking, embroidery, pin-tucking, lace insertion, and pleating. Eventually, they decided they were far too old for handmade clothes and bows—which, in my opinion, happened much too soon! But that change opened the door to something unexpected: teaching. I began teaching my daughters to sew, and some of my most treasured memories were made around the sewing table—laughing, learning, and creating together. Before long, I discovered that I loved teaching sewing just as much as I loved sewing itself. That passion became Little Stitchers, where I get to share the joy of creating with a new generation of young makers. I believe sewing teaches children far more than how to use a needle and thread. It builds patience, confidence, creativity, problem-solving skills, and the wonderful feeling of saying, “I made this!” Today, I’m delighted to share my love of beautiful textiles, creativity, and craftsmanship with children through Little Stitchers. A History of Teaching Sewing Before Little Stitchers, I operated Just Sew Fabulous Sewing and Design Studio in McDonough, Georgia, where I taught sewing to children, teens, and adults. My classes included hands-on instruction in sewing-machine safety and operation, fabric preparation, cutting, hemming, and completing individual sewing projects. Today, that experience continues through Little Stitchers Sewing School in Watkinsville, Georgia, where I focus on helping children and teens ages 7–15 develop practical sewing skills, creativity, confidence, and independence. Every stitch is the beginning of something beautiful.
