Hello and welcome,

Threaded from Heaven is connecting more young and seasoned people to experience the Art of Sewing!

I have so many fond memories of childhood hand-sewn blouses and Christmas dolls sewn by my mother.   The skill of hand-sewing passed down to me and my siblings from my mother.  Later advancing from needle & thread to using a sewing machine.  My love of dolls is what started me and kept me sewing as an adult. I got the sewing bug and now I just love to sew everything.  I have been sewing for 26 years and teaching adults, teens, and kids for about 20 years. 

I'm a wife and mother of 2 beautiful daughters and stepmother of 3.  While being a stay at home mother, I started teaching at Joanne Fabrics for about 3 years and left there to teach at Hobby Lobby in Buford, GA since 2008.  I opened my very own sewing studio in September 2018.

I became a Certified BurdaStyle instructor in 2017 and I use these skills to continue teaching and sharing sewing. 


In 2017 earned the BurdaStyle Teaching Certificate.

 


BurdaStyle Advanced Teaching Certificate course completed in January, 2022

Hello my name is Mrs. Tiffeny and I am a Certified Craft Yarn Council Crochet Instructor.  I am excited and honored to teach  beginner crochet lessons. Crochet like sewing is a life skill and great to master.
 
A little about my crochet journey. As a preteen, my mother taught me how to crochet. I remember watching my mother make creatively beautiful afghans for everyone in the family. She did not use a pattern from a book, the design was in her head.  I would see the excited reaction each receiver would have as they wrapped the afghan made with love around them. My mom's beaming smile spoke a thousand words. I wanted to make one too! That's how it all started.
 
I admit it took a while to develop speed and learn other stitches but I stuck with it. I ended up making that afghan and many more items. I specialized in making baby layette sets in my 20's-30's as all my friends were starting families. Homemade gifts are always the best.
 
Benefits of crocheting: Life skill to pass on to the next generation, builds eye hand coordination, is relaxing, fosters self accomplishment/self esteem building, creates unique one of a kind gifts and is profitable too.
 
So please come and join us!
You will learn to read a pattern and crochet stitches to make cool and practical projects.
See you soon.
 
A Certified Craft Yarn Council Crochet Instructor!
