Denise Hatch

Biography: Denise Hatch, a longtime Bend resident and business professional, graduated from COCC with an Associate of Arts Business Transfer degree and earned her BS in Business Administration from Eastern Oregon University in LaGrande.

Denise's passion for sewing began as a young girl, inspired at the early age of eight by her mother, who often made clothes for her and her sisters. She learned the art of hand sewing and quickly advanced to using the family sewing machine. Since then, she has honed her skills, creating everything from cushions and curtains, swimsuits and sportswear, fine bridal wear, and everything in between. Along the way, she combined her love and talent for sewing with her entrepreneurial desires and launched various business endeavors including alterations, wedding gown design, and children's clothing and accessories, in a retail storefront, home business, and local artist venues.

Denise enjoys teaching private and small group sewing classes - sharing tips and techniques learned over the years.
