Getting started sewing can often feel so much harder than it should. There’s just so much information out there! So where do you even begin?!? “I’ve wanted to sew for years, but I kept putting it off.” “I have a machine, but it’s just been sitting there.” “I tried to learn, but now I feel more confused than when I started.” If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. I hear this constantly, and it’s exactly why... I created my new You Tube series launching this weekend: Learn to Sew in 30 Days Ma

“I want to make my own patterns.” I hear this all the time. And it's usually very quickly followed with, "but how?” When you start sewing, and for a while afterwards, commercial patterns feel like the whole sewing world. With so many styles, sizes, and possibilities. It seems endless. But then, there does come a moment when you want more. More creative freedom. A better fit. Maybe you’ve imagined a garment that doesn’t exist in any pattern catalogue. Or maybe you’re just tired of making the same

Bhahahaha, you thought you only had to learn how to sew? 😂 Yeah, me too! No one told me when I started that sewing clothes is actually 2 skills... sewing AND fitting. And fitting is even harder, right? Fitting, it’s a whole different challenge. And it's where so many starry-eyed, new sewists get confused, stuck, and sometimes even give up!

Back when I first started sewing, I would spend hours on a garment. Cutting carefully. Following the pattern. Putting so much time and energy into my sewing. And yet… when it was finished, I’d hold it up and feel a little bit disappointed. It was fine... good, even! But, I just didn’t love it. And more often than not, it just ended up in the back of my wardrobe. And it felt so frustrating that "skill effort" ≠ always equal a garment I loved. I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong.

Ever made a garment that was like 2 sizes too big? Or too small?? When I first started sewing, I remember putting in so much time and effort to carefully follow the pattern instructions, sewing everything together, and doing everything as best I could… and then being soooo disappointed because, after all that, it just wouldn’t fit me right. NO matter how carefully I seemed to measure myself. I mean disappointment to the level that it would make me want to give up! I used to think things like...

What exactly is Vintage Sewing School? What do I teach and what do you learn there? Contrary to the name, it's about vintage sewing skills, not sewing vintage clothes! It's my online school where I teach everything I ever wanted to learn about sewing when I started. When I started to learn to sew it was because I wanted to create the amazing designs that I saw in my head and wanted to wear. I wanted them out of my imagination and into my wardrobe as clothes!

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by all the sewing skills you think you should know? Well, you’re not alone— Here's something I've learned that can help break that overwhelm from the start (and it works no matter where you are in your sewing journey). The truth is, strong foundations are the secret to making every new skill feel easier. When you really take time to master the basics, all skills start to fall into place: You see smoother seams. Better fit. Less second-guessing. Less unsewing! Suddenl

Pressing: The Unsung Hero of Good Sewing If you want your garments to look more polished, more professional and more like something you actually WANT to admit that you made yourself... start pressing like you mean it! And no, I don’t mean ironing. Ironing is what you do to your laundry - broad strokes, back and forth, trying to flatten out wrinkles with friction and pressure. Pressing, on the other hand, is controlled. You lift the iron up and down, applying pressure with intention to very targe

There's one thing no one tells you before you start sewing! It's that it's like a drug, you're easily hooked and once you're in the club, SEWING WILL TAKE OVER YOUR LIFE! 🤣 And your space! 😂 I think we almost all start out on the dining room table to sew and the floor to cut out, packing up and down every time. But then, as you're sewing all the time, slowly the equipment and stash grows, of course you need a more permanent ironing station and the pack up and pack down happens, well,...less an

We all need tools to do our beloved sewing, which inevitably means we will have to spend some $$$ on them. But do you ever feel like you spend money on tools that break way too quickly, or just don’t feel worth what you paid for them? After many years of sewing (and wasting plenty of money on the wrong things), I’ve learned what’s worth investing in and what you can save in by DIY'ing or thrifting.

Ever feel like sewing patterns expect you to be a mind reader? Well… that’s not far off. 😅 They do expect that you know a little/lot about sewing already. I'll let you in on a little lesser-known fact... Sewing patterns were never designed to teach beginners how to sew. In the late 1800s, home sewing patterns were created for home dressmakers (who already knew their craft) to be able to sew up the latest styles from Paris or New York. Major things such as grainlines, darts, seam finishes, fitti
