I thought it would be fun to start with a conversation. Tell us... What's one thing you're working through right now? Maybe you're learning how to use your sewing machine. Maybe you've never cut into fabric because you're afraid of making a mistake. Or maybe you're simply tired of buying clothes that never seem to fit quite right. Wherever you're starting from... You're in good company. Share one thing you're working on or one question you have. There's a good chance someone else here is wondering the very same thing. ❤️

Happy Friday everyone, I hope everyone has had a great week. We are on the countdown to our Founders Fit and Feel Good Sewing Lab. Woo hoo! The reason for the delay in starting time is two fold. One is for me to make sure everything is ready to go. You guys were so great, I wasn't expecting the lab to fill up so quickly. The second reason, is to give everyone ample time to get their machines in working order. I have attached a checklist of what needs to be done pre-lab. However, if your machine has been sitting in a corner for years, it may be a good idea to send it to a machine repair shop to get it cleaned and oiled. On the checklist I have put to thread and test it, but if you don't know how to thread your machine don't worry, I will be sending a video here next week on threading machines. And the Know Your Body Before You Sew (or Shop) mini course will be uploaded this weekend. If you have any questions before we start please ask away. I will also post the lab outline and supply list next week.

This community is for women 40+ who want to learn to sew clothes that fit their changing bodies, reflect their personal style, and feel like themselves again. We'd love to get to know you!
