Kim Pilkerton

Sewing

Ms Kim completed her BS in Business and Management at the University of Maryland College Park. While she works full time in the financial field, she has always had an appreciation for art. She has been sewing for over five years now, and loves to create handmade items that are both functional and beautiful. She owns a small business called Joyfully Sewn, and you can find her handmade wares at local shops and markets throughout the Southern Maryland area.

 

As a mother of two, and a former Cub Scout Den leader, she has plenty of experience teaching children. She teaches by way of “hands on” activities, as she believes that’s the best way for students to learn. She is looking forward to teaching young students how to sew and sharing her enthusiasm to create handmade.
