Hi,

I'm Nancy and I love anything to do with fabrics and yarn...designing, creating, teaching.

My grandma taught me crochet at 7 years of age. I took up knitting and sewing in my teens. After several years of home sewing I decided to take up formal studies in fashion design and garment making. I opened my dressmaking business working from home and also volunteered in schools teaching hand sewing and crochet while raising my children.

I also worked as a nurse/counsellor, in elderly care and youth services. As a self-care practitioner, I recognised the benefits of creativity for our overall wellbeing, especially mental health.

Several years ago I founded my business SNS Courses with intention to create digital courses and learning guides but it quickly expanded into a physical business. Digital courses are great supplementary teaching tools but they can't match the spirit of the in-person class and the supportive community that develops spontaneously.

Today, my focus is fully on teaching, promoting creativity and self-sufficiency through my sewing and crochet workshops for kids and adults.
