Fit Sew Beautiful® sewing studio in Southern California is dedicated to helping you create garments that truly fit—your body, your style, and your life. With more than 50 years of sewing experience and almost two decades of teaching experience, I specialize in custom-fit garment sewing using couture techniques and the Palmer/Pletsch tissue-fitting method.

As a certified Palmer/Pletsch instructor and contributing writer for Threads Magazine, I teach sewing the way it’s meant to be learned: thoughtfully, patiently, and with close attention to fit and workmanship. Lessons are project-based and highly personalized, whether you’re sewing your first well-fitting dress or refining advanced couture skills.

Fit Sew Beautiful® is a woman-owned, family-operated business, and my studio is known for its warm, encouraging atmosphere. I offer private sewing lessons, small group classes, and community-focused sewing time for sewists at many stages—always with an emphasis on quality materials, careful technique, and garments that feel as good as they look. For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of leading the American Sewing Guild, Los Angeles Chapter (ASGLA) Couture Group—a community of sewists who value couture techniques, beautiful workmanship, and learning together.

If you’re ready to move beyond “close enough” and start sewing clothes that fit beautifully, I’d love to work with you.

Sewing is best learned by doing—and with guidance that meets you where you are. In my sewing and fitting classes, you’ll work on real projects while building skills step by step, from foundational techniques to advanced pattern fitting. Whether you’re looking to master pattern fitting or learn the basics, each class is tailored to your experience, goals, and the garments you want to make. Discounted class bundles are available, allowing you to save up to 15% while learning at a steady, supported pace.
