| Instructor: | Rick Hypes |
| Instructor Bio: | Rick has been sewing since his teens. He started sewing outdoor and camping gear from kits including vests, jackets, tents and sleeping bags. He also found kitemaking so much fun he has made hundreds of them. He then branched out to make bake to transport the kites. Always ready to learn something new, Rick has also done upholstery, awnings, boat covers, and shade structures. Over the years like so many dedicated to sewing, he has acquired lots of fabrics and machines. Sailing is now a passion so of course he repairs and modifies he own sails. He loves to share his knowledge with others and is looking forward to teaching at Wild Oats Sewing Company. |
