Hello and welcome!
It’s been a while since my last post, and I’m so excited to share what’s next for this space. After some time away to reflect, plan, and realign my goals, I’m thrilled to introduce you to the next chapter: The Stitch Style Wear Project— a place where sewing meets personal style in a way that’s practical, empowering, and fu
A New Direction, A Clearer Purpose
Over the past few months, I’ve been thinking a lot about what I want this blog to represent—not just for me, but for you, my fellow sewists. Sewing has always been more than a hobby for me. It’s a way to create, problem-solve, and express who I am. But let’s be honest: sewing can also feel overwhelming at times.
Whether it’s choosing the right patterns, finding fabrics that flatter, or making sure your finished garment actually fits into your wardrobe, there’s a lot to juggle. And I know I’m not alone in this!
That’s why The Stitch Style Wear Project is all about building a community of sewists who share ideas, solve problems, and inspire one another. It’s not about having all the answers—it’s about learning, experimenting, and growing together.
What You Can Expect
Here at The Stitch Style Wear Project, I’ll be sharing my own sewing journey while providing resources to help you along yours. Whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience, my goal is to make this a space where you can find inspiration, guidance, and community.
Here’s what you can look forward to:
Practical Tips for Body Shape and Fit: Learn how to assess your unique body shape and choose patterns, fabrics, and design details that work for you.
Wardrobe Planning for Sewists: Discover how to sew with intention by creating a cohesive wardrobe that fits your life and style.
Styling Handmade Pieces: Get tips for blending handmade garments with ready-to-wear staples for a polished, personal look.
Collaborative Challenges: Join sew-alongs, share your projects, and connect with like-minded sewists through interactive community events.
