Why Janie Is Know As the Drapery Techniques Ninja
Janie empowers her students to master the art and business of sewing with confidence and clarity. With a foundation in electrical engineering, she brings a problem-solving mindset and technical expertise to every lesson I teach, ensuring that even the most complex concepts are easy to grasp. Her mantra — there must be a better way — drives her to develop original techniques and create training that’s second to none.
Janie demystifies the technical aspects of machines, window treatments, and installations, breaking them down in ways that few can. Her original handouts reflect her commitment to making learning straightforward and accessible. She don’t just teach the “what” and the “how,” but also the “why,” giving students a deeper understanding that fosters real mastery.
Drawing from her years of experience fabricating window treatments and soft furnishings, she also equip students with essential business skills, bridging the gap between craftsmanship and entrepreneurship. Her goal is to empower every student to thrive — whether they’re sewing at home or running their own successful business.
