| Maggy Schneider, cofounder and current owner of Sewing Lounge, started sewing around the age of four when her Norwegian nanny determined she was old enough to hold a needle. Although she studied clothing design at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design her intuitive approach to sewing has been self-nurtured, bolstered by instruction from co-workers in the clothing industry. Besides having been a sample sewer for local designers she has also done production runs, pattern work and custom sewing. Crafting and sewing with children for the past 31 years has allowed her to keep at least one foot in a very creative world and it remains one of her favorite endeavors. | Instructor, technician and sewing machine enthusiast Steve “Bobbin Doctor” Pauling’s interest in sewing machines began as a teenager when he “borrowed” his mother’s brand new pink and gray sewing machine to repair a school bag. The bag was never repaired but he did begin his life long journey learning about broken needles, thread jams, bad tension and how to fix your mother’s machine without her knowing. Steve has a small business refurbishing pre-1970 sewing machines aptly named “Bobbin Doctor” and currently has over 100 vintage machines in his personal collection. Steve is also an award winning fine shirt maker and popular instructor/lecturer. |
