About me
I was born and raised in Europe (The Netherlands)
and met my husband during his military career in
the US Air Force in Germany.  After our marriage
we moved to America, and eventually settled in the
state of Georgia in a city near Atlanta.  My husband
and I are residing here together with two wonderful
daughters.
"Sewing's multitude of choices in terms of color
selection, fabric options, design and proportion help
stimulate and focus creative energy and build
self-esteem."
I wanted to start a legitimate business from the home,
and after browsing the Internet I found the "Kids Can
Sew and Fashion Design Program".  The Founder,
Carolyn Curtis, started her company more than 20 years
ago. She began teaching her three daughters, who
during that period were 6, 10 and 12 years old. Since
Carolyn couldn't find easy patterns, she made up her
own.  Soon word spread around, and the beginning of a
flourishing business started.
I found this home business very interesting, especially
since less public/private schools offer elective classes,
such as sewing, cooking or painting.

The Curriculum looked well-illustrated with easy step-by
step instructions.  In the summer of 2004 I opened my
own business to the public  
Patty's Sewing Studio
(formerly Patty's Sewing School). Students learn the
basics of sewing by making projects from the Kids Can
Sew Activity Workbook.
