This week revealed some hesitation over starting with a new pattern. (I'm looking at you @Sandy Simpson @Zainab Lulat and @Lana Powers 😉) Sometimes looking at a new design can make you anxious about techniques you haven't tried, a fabric you haven't experienced yet, or being too nervous to cut into the fabric you've saved. I get it. But if you're unsure on how to proceed and want to get started, share a picture of the patten and tell us about the hesitation. A problem shared is a problem halved.

Have you reached level 2 yet? And did you see your bonus PDF pattern reward in the classroom? This Girls Ruffle Bolero has had over 1100 saves on Pinterest in the last month alone, so I know you're going to love it. Comment below if you're still level 1 and lets get you upgraded!

Hi peeps. Ive been catching up on my Skool notifications, and one belonging to our very own @Julie Butler was talking about building a room for her people instead of shouting "hey look at me" This is what I want to do here with you! This room - our sewing room - is for us to share our progress and our struggles so we can learn and improve our skills. Any question is worth asking, because as we all know, someone else probably has the same question. To get a feel for how everyone is feeling in their sewing journey, pick an option below and COMMENT what they want guidance in next.

You may be surprised to hear this - but I sat on the idea for this group for over a year before I finally said - do it or let it go. So, it makes me forever grateful that you chose to be here and show an interest in all that is sewing. Our newest members this week are - @Zainab Lulat @Solveiga Brazauskiene @Livii Page @E Lk @Julie Butler @Lana Powers I'm going to be adding some great resources to the levels in the next few weeks, so be sure to comment and like each others comments (this is the best way to rank up)
