Holli is a designer who cares a lot about garment tailoring and structuring and altering and fit. That aspect of her focus comes through her work because of the details she includes and she tells people how to alter things and how to fix stuff.

Keep designing – your patterns are indeed a notch above.

That’s the price of admission already, Holli!

… the patterns are very clear and spell out specific techniques for things like decreasing etc. when they are important for the appearance of the project. Gotta love that!

Holli is a great teacher and has a very friendly personality. I’ll look for her classes again next year. Thank you Holli ~ I so enjoyed meeting you.
