About the Instructor
Angela Sigvaldason grew up in St.Stephen, NB. The baby of 8 children. Her mom taught her how to stitch when she was very young and her love for sewing never stopped. Making clothes, dolls, applique quilts was just the start. Creativity is endless and living in BC offered more skill building and practice. After moving to Cape Breton Island 5 years ago, she saw an opportunity to share her talents by mending and tailoring and now she wants to teach YOU!
