Sheila Moore
Sheila has been sewing for 40 years and has studied and taught millinery (hat making). In her younger days, shopping for clothes was a significant part of her identity, but now she embraces the principles of "make do and mend" and "repurposing." The idea of transforming one thing into another or utilizing available resources truly inspires her. She believes that creativity is a process that should be approached slowly and thoughtfully. She enjoys sharing the lessons she's learned through years of experimentation with others.
