Sew Fun started simply with my love for sewing. I grew up with a mother who loved to sew and took the time to get me my own sewing “basket” and teach me all the basics. I loved the clothes that she made us as kids because they just felt better. You could feel all the time, energy and love that she had put into each piece. I spent years concocting my own creations that usually did not withstand my wear and tear. I sewed clothing inside out, backwards or just plain wrong. I ripped out lots of seams. But in the end, mistakes = lessons.
Aside from my sewing, I attended Virginia Commonwealth University and earned my degree in Elementary Education. I was also a teacher at Tuckahoe Montessori School for four years and I am currently the Children’s Program Coordinator and instructor at the Academy of Kung Fu. I have undergone a background check through the state of Virginia to be certified to teach children.

Zoe has a rich background in the creative field that she continues to explore in different avenues. For the majority of her career, she has been an avid art educator, working for the Montessori system in Richmond, VA, and San Luis Obispo, CA. She has also been involved with Sewfun throughout the years, assisting her sister since the very beginning. The past few years, she has taken on the role of managing Summer camps, website and illustration design and most recently taking on the Adult Program at Sewfun, its really a dream teaming up with her sister and incorporating all her passions and skills.

Sew Fun Teachers

What would we do without this lovely group of ladies?? At Sew Fun we are lucky to have former students, who have been coming to Sew Fun camps for years, train to be volunteers, assistants, and eventually lead teachers! We couldn’t ask for a better group to help carry the joy of sewing onto the next generation. (Not all helpers are included in this picture).
