I love to teach sewing workshops! I have a master’s degree in education from Harvard. Before becoming a textile artist I worked in education for six years teaching both adults and children.
If you would like me to teach a workshop for your group, please email me: abbyglassenberg at comcast dot net.
My most popular classes include:
- Get To Know Your Sewing Machine
- Sew a Bird from The Artful Bird: Feathered Friends to Make and Sew (my first book)
- Design Your Own Stuffed Animal Sewing Pattern
- Learn to Sew for Girl Scout Troops
- Sew a Sock Monkey
I also teach an ongoing Humpty Dumpty doll workshop on Craftsy. This brand new online workshop experience provides students with over 50 step-by-step photos, very clear written explanations, and intereactive conversation with students and the instructor. Sign up here to register any time.
Here what people are saying about my workshops:
"I am a complete novice at sewing and crafting - no experience whatsoever! But Abby's sock monkey workshop was fun and accessible even for a beginner like me. Thanks to her instructions and personal attention, I made an adorable sock monkey who now has pride of place on my desk. If I'd had the materials on hand I would have made another one on my own the next day - so much fun!" - Carla Levy, sock monkey workshop participant
"Abby Glassenberg's sewing workshop for our Daisy troop was outstanding. She carefully selected an age appropriate pencil project that was appealing to our little ladies who were ever so focused on her presentation and diligently followed her lead. The end result was happy girls proud of what they learned and created. We can't wait to have Abby back for another sewing lesson." - Jean Walsh, Daisy Girls Scout Troop leader
Thank you so very much for the excellent class. I tend to only sign up for classes when I think there will be something gained that I couldn't get from reading instructions. And this totally fit that bill. It was much easier than I expected but that's because you saved us all several false starts. And now that it's clear how it all works, I feel absolutely up for experimenting. -Sarah Edwards, Design Your Own Stuffed Animal Sewing Pattern workshop participant
Teaching sewing is one of my passions! I look forward to working with your group.
