A Bit of Background-
Phyllis began sewing as a young girl with a toy sewing machine which progressed to a Singer sewing machine of her mom’s when she and her sisters used that sewing machine in secret to sew their mom a new dress for Christmas. Perfectly sewn, but needless to say, didn’t fit. This led to sewing both in high school and college. Sewing became not only a necessity but an extremely enjoyable venture after college sewing both for herself for work and for her daughter, and the many parties, proms, etc.
Later, as an assistant manager for a major fabric store, she sewed many sample displays During this time she also taught clothing construction at Chico State University.
When a move placed her in Scottsdale, AZ, she began working as manager for a Husqvarna Viking dealer for several years. This led to working as a Freelance Educator for Husqvarna Viking for 11 years.
