About Your INSTRUCTOR

Paula Fonseca

hi, I'm Paula!

I'm the sewist behind the SewGoth blog. I created SewGoth to teach, inspire, and motivate alt/goth and other non-conforming sewists to learn the skills to create a wardrobe that fits their styles and bodies.

I started sewing because there was nothing in the world of ready-to-wear clothing that represented me. My goal is to start a revolution in the fashion status quo, carving spaces for the alt/goth community to celebrate their unique style.

Learning to sew will give you the tools you need to say goodbye to ill-fitting, uncomfortable, and boring clothing and hello to your own amazing creations.

The Bottom Line Is...

You can continue to struggle with sewing knits, wasting time and money and ending up frustrated—or get proven skills and techniques to help you master sewing with knit fabrics in just five days!

We'll see you on the inside!
