~ INSTRUCTORS ~
Dressmaker and longtime Treadle employee-turned-owner Michele Hoaglund loves to create garments that fit fabulously and are beautiful both inside and out. She has been teaching for over 25 years and enjoys seeing students get excited about sewing. | |
Rebecca Karstad has been sewing since she was nine. With over 30 years of experience working as a costume technician in theater, film, and advertising, she still gets a thrill at taking a flat piece of fabric and turning it into something. She is proud to work for Minnesota Opera as a first hand and has been a core member of the Treadle team for years. | |
Lara Neel has been a passionate sewing enthusiast since 2015 and is especially excited about helping others develop an obsession with getting the most out of their sewing time. We love in person classes best, but Lara's Youtube channel is worth checking out. Find it at twinsnneedles. | |
