Hi, I am Juanita and I teach people the joys of sewing and lampshade creation.
I am a Mum with a love of sewing I have a background in retail business management and the arts. I have experience in textiles and Interior design along with working as a commissioned seamstress for almost 10 years.

​I have started Made By You Canberra in the hope of inspiring both children and beginner adults to share in the joy of creating handmade items for themselves and to make bespoke gifts for others.
