About Emma Seabrooke

Emma Seabrooke is a certified Palmer/Pletsch pant and fit instructor. She trained with a French couturier for years and took many fashion design courses in college while obtaining her degree. She has been fashion sewing since the age of six, first for her dolls then for herself and others. Emma loves sewing with knits and has designed patterns for them. She has perfected the best styles for all sizes especially the well-endowed ladies. She travels and teaches from coast to coast and on TV. Emma is an active member of the Miami Chapter Board of the American Sewing Guild, and is a member of the Home Sewing Association. All her ladies can achieve clothing that looks and fits beautifully. She carries patterns, notions and fabrics that apply to her classes. 

Knits – Knits – Knits!  When sewers talk about KNITS, they say it like a “four-letter word”.  I can’t sew knits because my seams pucker.  I don’t sew knits because the ribbing or binding doesn’t look good.  I can’t…I don’t…I won’t!

However, knits are great warm weather fabrics.  They are comfortable to wear and easy to care for, so as sewers we all want to sew knits.  Emma Seabrooke is the lady that will solve our problems of sewing with knits.

Emma’s specialty is knits and stretch laces.  She has perfected techniques for sewing with knits and has worked with patterns to perfect the best styles for all sizes, but especially the well-endowed ladies.  I first saw Emma speak at the Education for the Textile Arts Symposium in Dallas (ETA-Dallas) in 2006 and was so impressed!  I followed her recommendations and techniques, and my knit tops have turned out beautifully.
