Meet our Staff
Because of the difficulties of 2020, many people now realize that sewing and other homemaking skills have become very lost arts. But it doesn't have to stay that way. We have all been loving the chance to dig up these skills and make them part of our everyday lives once again. That’s exactly what That Sewing Place is here for! So come on over and let our judgement-free team show you how fun and rewarding these skills can truly be. Like us, everyone has to start somewhere and now is the time.
Hi, I’m Tori Spencer, a mom of 4, grandma to 4 beautiful boys and the owner of That Sewing Place. I taught kids sewing classes in my home for several years and really loved it and wanted to open a real sewing school some day. My husband and I are so happy to be Queen Creek residents and to be bringing the vital skill of sewing to the community.
My name is Joanna. I was able to learn how to sew at a very young age, 6 or seven. When I was in middle school I took Home Economics sewing, and I made clothes throughout high school, something new each week. I did construction sewing (making clothes) for 25 years. When I was introduced to Quilting. I jumped in 100% and haven’t looked back. I love teaching at the sewing school and interacting with all the students!
I’m Karen, and I’m the newest teacher here at TSP. I received my degree in fashion design from FDIM in Los Angeles, and have worked as a costumer and pattern maker for over 40 years. I look forward to sharing my passion for clothing making with the sewing students here in Queen Creek.
