About the instructor:
Dana-Lynn Farrell has been sewing since childhood, beginning with creating dresses for her Barbie dolls with the help of her grandmother and learning how to read a sewing pattern from her aunt. Passionate about creating costumes, she often wore her creations on stage in musicals and operas, eventually doing cosplay as well.

In her twenties, Dana-Lynn began working as a seamstress full time, accepting a job at lululemon in Halifax doing repairs and alterations, and opening a small studio for her own clients, doing repairs, alterations and custom pieces.

In 2020 she made masks of various sizes to accommodate beards, large chins, small chins and a special kind of mask for singers. Though she no longer works as a seamstress, she continues to enjoy sewing as a hobby, occasionally making pieces for friends and family.
