Discover Your Creativity: Start Sewing & Quilting Today
|
Hey there! Did you, or a friend, get a sewing machine for Christmas? If yes, then you are ready for Zero-to-Sew: Completely Clueless to Absolutely Fearless! Zero-to-Sew walks you through every step. Nothing is left out, so you never feel left behind. When people learn that I sew, they often tell me about how they got a sewing machine years ago, but it’s still in the box - they were scared to figure out how to use it. Or sometimes they tried and got frustrated. That’s why I’ve designed my course “Zero to Sew” - to help you get your sewing machine out of the box, learn how its features work, and learn critical sewing skills you can take forward into your future projects. The course starts at the very beginning and does not require any existing sewing knowledge - everything’s broken up into small pieces so you can learn a little bit each day. By the time you’re done, you’ll have made 4 projects and gained comfort with the care and use of your sewing machine, no matter the brand or style. You got that sewing machine because you wanted to learn to sew. So let's do it!
If you already know how to sew, but want to learn to quilt?Consider one of my quilting classes. Quick Start Quilting or Cricut Quilting 101 Welcome to Quilting (Without the Intimidation, Tears, or Quilt Police)Ever admired a quilt and thought, “I could never do that”—then immediately followed it with “also, why does everyone use so many weird words?” This beginner-friendly quilting course is designed to gently (and cheerfully) walk you through the basics of quilting, one small, confidence-boosting project at a time. No overwhelm. No pressure to make a king-size masterpiece on Day One. Just clear instruction, cozy creativity, and a few laughs along the way. What You’ll Learn (a.k.a. The Good Stuff)In this class, you’ll learn:
And most importantly—you’ll finish projects. Real ones. Not “someday” ones
Circut Quilting 101 also covers all of that plus how to use your cutting machine to assist with fabric cutting. Whether you're new to quilting or looking to enhance your skills using your Cricut, Cricut Quilting 101 course is the perfect starting point! Designed specifically for confident beginners who have finished at least one Cricut projects. I'll guide you through quilting basics while harnessing the power of your Cricut machine.

Hi, Reader! The discussion of death and end of life planning is not an easy one. If it's a sensitive topic for you, skip this one. If someone else had to sort through your craft supplies, would they know what was valuable, what was meaningful and where the usable materials should go? That isn’t meant to be gloomy. It’s an opportunity to make thoughtful decisions now—especially when a collection includes inherited fabric, specialized tools or supplies that deserve a better destination than a...
Hi, Reader! Craft supplies can be especially difficult to declutter because nearly everything still holds creative potential. That fabric could become something. Those tools are still useful. And inherited supplies may carry memories of the person who owned them. I’m joining Sandy Krokaugger for the Reduce the Clutter Summit, where we’ll talk about how to decide what genuinely belongs in a working craft stash, what can be rehomed and what your family may eventually need to know about...
Hi, Reader! Spooky season is upon us! The skeletons are emerging from storage, the ghosts are being hung on the trees, and tombstones are littering the yards. Fall is coming! Monday was our first chilly day in Indiana... and it was much enjoyed. As the pumpkin spice starts to flow, so do the Halloween costume ideas. I wish I could say that my kids' costumes come first, but I'm normally working on them at the 11th hour. Plus, they often change their minds. That early September idea is nowhere...
