Hello there!

I'm Sarah.

Do you ever walk into a store, try on a multitude of pants and shirts, and leave without buying anything because nothing fit you?

Yeah, me too.

That’s why I started sewing.

I’m guessing you run into a recurring fit problem when you try on clothes. The length is always too long or too short? The bum is always too small or too big?

My recurring problem is pants are too tight in the bum and thighs and too loose in the waist. It makes me feel like I’m wearing a funnel. It’s unflattering and uncomfortable. It happens with almost every pair of pants I try on. (Yes, I have a big bum.)

After years of this, I started to internalize an idea that my body proportions must not be correct or beautiful. That went on for a number of years throughout high school. But then I started getting serious about sewing and things changed. Sewing can make you realize…

If clothes don’t fit you correctly

it’s not your body’s fault

it’s the clothing’s fault

If you’re struggling with self image or frustrated with trying to find clothes that fit in a way that highlights the beauty and uniqueness of your body, I want to help you learn how to sew.

I’m here to serve as your resource for fun sewing patterns, cool sewing inspiration, how-to tutorials to help you learn, blurry adventures with my camera, and I hope more than anything, encouragement for all of your sewing endeavors.

Always cheering for you,

Xx SARAH

PS - I grew up as the youngest of seven wonderful siblings on a sheep farm surrounded by rolling hills and wide spaces. A few years ago I bought a 100 year old brick house and renovated it. Now it’s full of paintings and furniture pieces I’ve collected, blue kitchen cabinets, some dark green walls downstairs, and pink walls upstairs. In the summer you can find me cooling off in the cement basement because there is no AC. In the winter you can find me under a blanket with two sweaters and hot tea because all the old windows are leaky. I love it! I also love sewing, designing patterns, playing with my camera, riding my bicycles, swimming in ponds and rivers, climbing cliffs, drinking whole milk, and hosting memorable dinner parties.Currently working on: finding a hot and adventurous husband to have some children with and redecorating my sewing room.
