What People Are Saying

"Her work is terrific and very creative. I love her imagination!"
- Sandy Scrivano, author of Sewing with Leather and Suede

"As a six-foot-tall woman who wears size 11 wide shoes, shopping for shoes has been a tiresome task because finding shoes with even a smidgen of style was rare. Then I met Margot! She showed us how to transform any shoe-no matter how ugly or unloved-into a fabulously attractive accessory for any outfit or occasion… My attitude toward shoes has completely changed. I actually want to shop for shoes now that I see what they can become and not just what they are. My feet will never look boring again!"
- Rosemary Greene

"I am a 'textile person.' I love fabric and never thought I would be into decorating shoes. But after taking Margot's class, I have found a whole new creative outlet! This is so much fun, and I can use a lot of my textile notions and doodads to decorate my shoes. Try it and you'll be a convert too."
- Suzanne Meyer

"I now see shoes and purses completely differently. And it's so easy-you don't like it, paint over it! Glue material over it! Quick transformation! Yippee!"
-Leanne McWaters

"I love Margot's work and have been happily telling everyone I know. The whole world should know about her! Lots of creative inspiration, lots of information, lots of fun."
- Clydine Petersen
