Let’s introduce ourselves! I have been sick this week so instead of a regular post, I thought it would be fun us to share a little bit about ourselves and what we have been sewing/making recently!
I just moved as well, Seattle to San Francisco. I'm headed back to Seattle this weekend to get my sewing machine out of storage and I can't wait to have it back.
I'm in Chicago <3 just started making a tote with some scraps today. I've been working on a drama dress that I can't get right so giving it a little space.
I’m in Green Bay. Trying to finish 18 muslin petticoat-esque maxi dresses and underskirts to sell at a pop up at my friend’s coffee house Sunday. My collection is hobbit-core capsule wardrobe :)
I’m going to start a large tote bag. I’m looking up how to make side pockets. I don’t want the pockets in the front, it’s better to carry my water bottles.
Hey! I'm Dusty and I'm in Houston. Just finished a baby blanket, two burp coths, and two bibs for a family member. But I'm also sourcing fabric from my closet, thanks to your guidance, and always planning a project in my head.
Also from Portland! The project I'm waiting on is tailoring some thrifted corduroys, but I'm currently using that as an incentive to finish repairing an old quilt that I'm working on for my MIL. Trying to get myself to push through the last 10% of that project haha.
I’m making too many things! An improv quilt from scraps, an English paper pieced quilt for my 4 year old (hope to have this done while she still likes all the fabrics lol), and I’m closing in on finishing my first garment--a box top, pattern from the All Well book How To Sew Clothes.
Hi I’m from Seattle! I’m working on my Halloween costume right now, and most recently made a unicorn stuffed animal into a backpack for an art trade, and a scrappy quilt block for a queer/trans community quilt!
I'm in NYC!! I'm a flutist and my fellowship program just started so I haven't had any sewing lately... but I just got a new rip in the inner thigh of my favorite jeans so that'll get the machine out!
I'm Kei and I live in Leipzig, Germany. I've been quite active this month, so I'm hoping links are okay 😊 Here's an album of the things I've made the last couple of weeks:
There's a pair of dungarees/overalls, an under-desk cable net, and a reversible tote bag made from a pattern in my head (all four pictures of it are the same bag - front and back/inside and outside)
Bonus video of my sentient-pile-of-fabric-and-definitely-not-a-cat supervising my work 😉
Checking in from NYC. Me and my friend (who is a graphic designer/fine artists) are collabing on a denim set. I will be making the pants and top and she will be doing a sketch on the set with either bleach or white fabric paint
Portland checking in! I’m making a quilted backgammon board — first time quilting anything so learning a lot! Grateful
I chose a small project lol
As smart as I know a small project is, I don't think my ADHD would let me 😂 I applaud your strength in resisting that call

I'll be doing some sock knitting on my flight.
I moved to Maui in July and haven't unpacked my sewing room yet. So what am I making? Space! Space to sew again soon!!!!

Oh ya, I want to make burp clothes too. I did a couple a few months ago, they were super easy and cute gifts!!

New to sewing, starting my first class next week. Looking forward to it and love this community 🤎

I’m a nurse from Denver! Currently working on quilt blocks that might turn into cat blankets for my family
Just moved into a new house and the seller left some curtains behind. I want to turn them into something new!
