Instructor:

Susie Shaughnessy started sewing with our Mom around age 6. And it wasn't just doll clothes. She was learning the skills and craft on Nana’s 1936 Singer sewing machine our Mom kept at the ready to create curtains, prom dresses, costumes and treasured pieces of clothing, passed down through all our sisters. Susie is owner/designer/pattern-maker/all-around-creative-cat at Crawford Denim & Vintage. A company she created from her affinity for vintage styles, made for today.
