Cut Up and Sew gains new class instructor
Cut Up and Sew has hired a new sewing instructor who opened her own shop in Trinidad at age 23 and later sewed for the New York Metropolitan Opera.
“I am very excited to be working at Cut Up and Sew and teaching a sewing class called Sewing with Gloria,” teacher Gloria Brathwaite said in a Cut Up and Sew press release. “Sewing is a skill that stays with you for life, and I want to help people sharpen their skills in any way I can.”
Brathwaite owned her own dressmaking shop in Trinidad when she was just 23, then moved to New York City in 1969, where she designed and sewed for the New York Metropolitan Opera, according to the release.
That gave her experience in designing and sewing formal wear.
She moved to Palm Coast in 1995, branching out into home decoration by working with interior designer Beth MacKinnon while also doing alterations for Bealls, according to the press release.
She taught at Flagler Adult Education for almost nine years and opened the “Sew Glo” sewing shop on Old Kings Road in 2000.
Brathwaite’s class is held 5-9 p.m. Mondays and on Tuesday afternoons.
Cut Up and Sew is located at 160 Cypress Point Parkway, Unit D116.
