| Instructor Bio: | Yanna Johansen is a sewist with a passion for turning fabric scraps into imperfect bespoke masterpieces. After discovering jelly roll rug projects as an innovative solution to the mountains of leftover fabric from teaching middle - school sewing classes, she’s been hooked. Now, when she’s not teaching her students how not to sew their fingers together, you’ll find her blissfully creating rugs and cat nappers. Some might call it an obsession, but Yanna likes to think of it as eco-friendly therapy with a side of soft floors and happy cats.  |
