Fashion Designer to Teach Sewing Basics at ZWHJCOC Lunch & Learn

The Basic Sewing and Tote Bag session will teach the basics of sewing such as how to thread your machine, wind the bobbin and sew basic stitches. Participants will also make a tote bag. Please note, participants will need to bring their own sewing machine for the class.
Keisha Tucker was born and raised in Compton, Ca. She is married and has seven children. Her love for sewing began at the very young age of 12 and has grown to a passion for repurposed fashion. Keisha likes to call herself the Repurpose Queen because she has been repurposing her clothes since she learned to sew. She took sewing classes all 4 years of high school and took what she learned and built upon her skills!
Tucker has been an entrepreneur since 2009. Her fields of experience span from simple seamstress work to making sophisticated and elaborate repurposed fashions. She has produced an annual Fundraiser Fashion Show in September since 2015. She uses the fashion shows as her way to give back to the community by donating a portion of the proceeds to a local non-profit organization.
