About Nikki Griffin:
After a successful 30 years in corporate America and a global pandemic, I decided to return to my roots and
teach people of all levels how to master the sewing craft.
As an 8-year-old child at my grandmother’s knee, I begged her to teach me to sew on her broken machine. My
grandmother’s spirit of determination was not going to stop her from teaching me this valuable craft. One hot
summer day, she gathered me and some fabric and taught me how to make my first garment…by hand.
Without the use of a machine, I cut and created about 10 halter tops and was the most fashionable little girl on
the block. After my halter top creation, I spent years dismantling and upcycling my old clothes, creating styles
that caught everyone’s eye. I got my first sewing machine at 12 years old and I’ve been sewing ever since.
I followed my dreams and spent a career in the fashion industry in retail, merchandising and sales. I have been
taught by some of the top designers in the industry and I want to share what I have learned over the decades
with you. Consider this your invitation into the community that I have built!
Learn to sew your own style, with me Nikki G of Sewing My Style!
