Brenda Holts

It has been my passion since I was 6 years old to create, to sew, and to design. For 50 years, I have been and am an experienced fashion designer, custom dressmaker, and "Alterationist". I still enjoy creating my own designs and producing fashion shows, but my goal is to teach that which I have accumulated over the years to the next generation because I believe it's becoming a lost art.

I want to be able to share my knowledge of sewing so that the passion can continue for generations to come. In my experience, the one thing that makes a good designer is their ability to sew, which is why I am currently teaching sewing classes for kids with several homeschool programs and creating individual online sewing classes for Adults.​
