Hello! I'm Romy! I'm a proud Latina born and raised in Texas. I grew up with an incredibly creative grandmother that empowered me to live out my creative passions. It all started with her teaching me how to sew. In the Spring of 2015, I received a BFA in Fashion Design from The Academy of Art University in San Francisco. I'm so excited to be part of the "Abby's Attic" Team and looking forward to what the future holds.
Your Creative Team

Whether it's using a sewing machine for the first time, creating bespoke garments, to quilting, and more, we are ready to help you get creative.
Howdy! I'm Jen. I've been sewing for over 25 years. I'm trained as a chemist and a high school math teacher, but my absolute passion is sewing! I love to combine my teaching experience with my love of all things sewing and crafting, plus throw in some mad nerd skills when I can. My favorite part of teaching people how to sew is seeing the satisfaction and smiles on their faces when they declare, "I did this!" On my free time (hah!) I enjoy camping, reading and, of course, sewing.
Hannah is a recent graduate from The University of the Incarnate Word, having majored in Fashion Design. She started sewing as a senior in high school through her theatre department working in costuming. She has now been sewing for roughly four years and she is excited to be a part of Abby's Attic!
Lisa teaches quilting classes, kids classes, and Sewing 101 for Abby's Attic since October 2020.

Mrs. Tobias was named Teacher of the Year in 2017-2018 while she worked at St. Peter Prince of the Apostles Catholic School. In her free time she loves to sew quilts and clothing, and lets her pets hang out at her feet while she sits at her sewing machine.
