Ombré Tote

WOW! This was a fantastic class. I learned many great things about making the bag, sewing techniques, colours, styles, etc. I would recommend it to anyone.

Diane Chiasson

Sew Much FUN!

I've been wanting to make this bag for too long. The class was wonderful, I have made many bags before and have total confidence that this will make a great gift for my adult daughter's birthday! ...then it will be my turn to make one for myself (of course).

Lesley Morris

Phenomenal Instructor

Jennifer is a phenomenal instructor. She is very thorough and takes you completely through every step. Whether you are taking a live or video course from Jennifer she is very professional and a joy to listen to during instruction. I love her teaching style and, of course, her fabrics.

Patricia Espinosa

So. Much. Fun.

This class went by in the blink of an eye. Videos are spot on with great examples of what to do at every step. The video class could easily get you where you want to go, but the live class has so much more information, with the added benefit of being able to ask specific questions. For ease, I bought the kit with fabrics all cut and everything ready to go. Kit had lots of extra fabric to enable students to make lot's of choices. Jennifer is an easy-going, non-judgmental teacher who is just a LOT of fun. It's obvious that she loves to teach. The blend of excellent videos with live discussion makes for a happy learning experience. No stress. I will be a repeat customer.

INSPIRATION & SATISFACTION

As a repeat student of Jennifer Sampou, I appreciate and enjoy her ability to combine heartfelt instruction with color play magic.

She includes inspiring instruction on how the value and intensity of color is an intricate part of a beautiful textile project. Her easy going and ‘have fun’ approach to the skills in a class help ease student anxiety about challenging tasks.

I have always felt a great sense of accomplishment when creating a quilt or table runner in her classes.

Playing With Color Was Awesome

Today was awesome. I love how authentic you are in the videos and I feel like I am right there with you. Other recorded classes I have taken felt too produced, but love yours. The playing with color was awesome and listening in and seeing you work with each of us was very helpful. In a traditional class, this is sometimes done 1 on 1 but on Zoom it was great to learn from each person. Even though I have been sewing for over 11 years your tips for sewing and pressing were a great refresher. I look forward to watching it again looking at (and trying) the matchstick quilting.

POSITIVITY, CREATIVITY, & ENCOURAGEMENT

I have taken many classes (4+) from Jennifer and am always eager to be a student in whatever class she offers.

The positive energy she shares along with her attention to student needs makes her an inspiring and helpful teacher.

She is mindful of the whole process of creativity and encourages students to be aware of and use their individual gifts and ideas to produce a unique piece of work.
