I am a highly professional & experienced fashion design teacher at La Salle College in Montreal. Having taught courses in sewing, pattern making, and garment production — I am truly passionate about what I teach and I am always happy to pass on my knowledge to others. I learned to sew from the age of 7, and since then, I have had over 30+ years in the production industry working for independent designers, my clients, and international companies such as Cirque du Soleil. I am open to teaching anyone who is willing to learn from beginner level to more advanced levels. I am very well-versed with teaching students that bring their own sketches and designs as well as students that wish to learn everything from scratch without any specific designs. My teaching style is flexible, fully dependent on the student's needs. I am able to give lessons from my fully equipped Montreal studio minutes away from the metro or I can teach from a distance provided that students have their own equipment at home. By working from my studio, I will be able to provide you with all the equipment and materials such as paper, muslin, and tools. Students who choose to work from the comfort of their homes will be provided with a list of materials/equipment necessary to follow through with the classes. Sewing & Pattern making come hand in hand, therefore I teach both simultaneously. After taking my classes, you should be comfortable with making and sewing your own patterns on your own. Feel free to send me a message of your goals and expectations of this course and I would be happy to assist you to see how we can get there together. "Sewing is not just a craft-- it's therapy"

Learn more about Shirley

  • When and why did you develop an interest in your chosen field?

    I began sewing at the age of 7, crafting garments for my dolls initially. Over time, I extended my skills to start sewing for my family and friends in my hometown, and it's safe to say that sewing and fashion is now deeply ingrained in me.
  • What makes you passionate about your subject?

    My natural creativity and lifelong affection for clothing have strongly nurtured my passion for fashion design. Moreover, I'm genuinely fascinated about garment production! I rarely go shopping for clothes (as I love making my own) but when I do, I keenly observe the construction and quality of the pieces.
  • What do you like about tutoring? What makes you a "Superprof"?

    I started teaching professionally around 8 years ago. Sharing my love for fashion and passing on my knowledge to the younger generation, who often exhibit a strong eagerness to learn, has been incredibly rewarding and fulfilling. Assisting students in bringing their creative ideas to fruition is an immensely exciting experience.
  • Do you have any role models ; a teacher that inspired you? Please explain.

    One of my role models is a former teacher from my fashion school days, Ms. L. Grenier. She was my sewing professor and I deeply admired her diligence and expertise. I consider myself fortunate to have learned from her, and her guidance played a pivotal role in opening doors that eventually led me to become a teacher at the same college.
  • What are your keys to your success?

    I attribute my success to several key factors: my unwavering passion for the subject, my extensive industry experience, a strong work ethic, a commitment to continuous learning, and a dedication to delivering projects of the utmost quality.
