About Lois

I’m a fashion designer, fiber artist, and creative teacher who loves helping people discover the joy of making things by hand. After many years working in fashion and running my own design business, I’ve found that teaching and sharing creativity is the most rewarding part of what I do. I enjoy working with students of all ages and creating a relaxed, encouraging environment where people can learn at their own pace, build confidence, and have fun being creative.

About the lesson

My approach as a tutor is warm, encouraging, and very hands-on. I focus on making creative skills feel approachable and enjoyable, especially for beginners or students who may feel intimidated at first. I break projects down into simple, manageable steps and adapt lessons to each student’s pace, interests, and learning style.

I teach hand sewing, machine sewing, crochet, fashion design basics, and creative textile projects for all ages and skill levels. Lessons can focus on learning foundational techniques, completing a specific project, building confidence with sewing machines, creating wearable items, or exploring creativity through fabric and design.

A typical lesson usually includes:
Reviewing materials and goals
Demonstrating a technique step-by-step
Guided hands-on practice
Creative problem-solving and encouragement
Finishing with progress review and next steps

What sets me apart is my combination of professional fashion industry experience and patient teaching style. As a fashion designer and fiber artist, I bring real-world creative knowledge, but I teach in a calm, accessible way that keeps students from feeling overwhelmed.

I’m especially good at finding the simplest and clearest way to explain techniques so students can enjoy the process and build confidence quickly.

Lessons are open to children, teens, adults, beginners, hobbyists, and anyone interested in developing creative skills in a supportive environment.

Please note, I only travel by public transportation with NYC (subway), and the Path train (if you're outside NYC). I do not have a car so I am unable to travel to places that are not near public transportation.

Perfect! The most helpful and patient teacher ! She taught me all the basics and then helped me with projects I’ve been wanting to work on for YEARS. She used to work in fashion and has designed her own clothes so she’s the perfect person for anyone who is looking to design or alter their own clothes. I recommend Lois 100 times !

Perfect! She is an amazing crochet teacher. My daughter truly enjoys her classes and always feels comfortable and encouraged while learning. She is very patient, kind, and knows how to teach in a way that makes kids feel confident and excited to keep improving.

I’ve already noticed a big difference in my daughter’s interest and skills, and I really appreciate the positive and calm environment she creates. Thank you for your dedication, professionalism, and for making the classes such a beautiful experience for her. Highly recommended! 🤍

Lois has been such a delight to learn from. She is extremely knowledgeable and talented and she was able to teach me a little of what she knows. Her excitement for crotchet was clear in our lessons, and it was extremely infectious. I took one of her classes because I was interested and I came away with a real love for the craft.

Lois is truly one of the most patient, encouraging, and talented teachers I’ve ever worked with. Whether she’s teaching crochet or sewing, she has an incredible ability to make complete beginners feel comfortable and excited to learn. She explains things in such a clear, approachable way and never makes anyone feel intimidated, no matter their skill level or age.

She’s especially amazing with kids ~ calm, kind, creative, and endlessly patient ~ but she’s equally wonderful with adults. Her classes are always fun, welcoming, and inspiring, and she has a gift for helping people feel proud of what they create. Even students who have never picked up a crochet hook or touched a sewing machine leave feeling confident and accomplished.

What really sets Lois apart is how thoughtful and hands-on she is as a teacher. She pays attention to each student individually, adapts to different learning styles, and genuinely cares that everyone has a good experience. You can tell she truly loves what she does, and it makes learning from her such a joy.

I would recommend Lois to absolutely anyone looking to learn crochet or sewing in a supportive, creative, and encouraging environment.

Lois is a kind, patient teacher who takes the time to break down and explain each step of the process and adapt to each individual student’s pace. She makes herself available to troubleshoot and answer questions between sessions. Her background as a fashion designer allows her to be creative and flexible in problem solving (she loves to show how “mistakes” in a project can become “happy accidents”). After only a few months of working with her, I went from not knowing how to crochet to making clothing for myself and others. Highly recommend!
