Inside the studio

Hi, I'm Jill! I'm a designer and maker with over 18 years of experience in graphic and digital design, trained at FIDM, and I've had a lifelong love of creating things with my hands. I founded Citrus Workshop to give kids and teens a place to build real skills, patience, and confidence through sewing and craft, one project at a time.

My teaching philosophy is simple: scaffold skills step by step while creating an encouraging, positive, and supportive learning environment along the way. I've run sold out sewing camps and workshops for kids ages 8 to 16, and I bring the same care to every class at Citrus that I bring to my own design work.

When I'm not teaching, I'm usually sewing something for myself to wear, curled up with a good book, listening to music, or trying out good food around town. I live in the Upland area with my husband, two kids, and a dog who are (unofficially) my toughest craft critics.

Why it is important for kids to learn to sew & be creative?

Confidence
Kids leave every class with a real sense of accomplishment, having made something with their own two hands.

Creativity
Creating something gives kids a hands-on way to express their ideas, turning imagination into something they can hold and use.

Focus
Each project teaches patience and problem solving, skills that carry far beyond the sewing table.

Connection
Small classes mean real attention and encouragement, so every child feels seen and supported as they learn.
