Review
Jackie Brunetti is an Artist and a teacher! How lucky for us. I’ve had 3 different classes with Jackie. I have taken many sewing classes over the years and my experience with Jackie’s teaching style stands above almost any I’ve experienced. I have sewn many home decorative items but the things that I’ve learned from Jackie have taken my results from looking homemade to professional with the many tips that she has shared with me. We are lucky to have an artist who is willing to teach us her “tricks of the trade”.
I most recently took Jackie’s upholstery class. I picked up a chair at a garage sale 15 years ago with the intention of reupholstering it on my own. I had been on the lookout for a way to learn from a professional but couldn’t find anyone willing to teach these skills. I was thrilled when Jackie decided to expand her home decorative sewing classes to teach upholstery. I knew that this was a unique opportunity and seized it by registering immediately for her first class.
I knew what I wanted to do with my chair but was afraid that I was biting off too much for my first project because I would be working with leather and cowhide. Jackie encouraged me to go for it because she told me that I would be creating art. Her excitement for my project was contagious and kept me excited too. She knew that this project was important to me and I knew that she wouldn’t let me ruin this chair that I had dreamed of someday creating. Not only does she push you for perfection, (believe me when I say that she won’t let you slide with anything less), but her joyful spirit makes the class a lot of fun. There was no shortage of laughter. Overall it was a great and completely satisfying experience and I can’t wait to take another class. Reno is lucky to have such talent.
Thank You, Leslie
