Learn to SewWhat's Happening at Start-to-finish sewing in 2025
The selling season is quickly coming for us. I have put together a schedule of events that will surely be a great combination of locations. I am happily making different items than I usually make. Aprons, baby items, and some other smaller items are going to fill one of my racks. New bags will be among the inventory as well as some favorites that continue to be requested.
Plan the plan is the beginning of my plan. LOL. Each year after that last sale of the year, I PLAN on what I am going to do for the next year. I create this amazing spreadsheet with all the things that I could make and fill in the blanks with the numbers of what I think I should make and then add the build amounts to each week to create a PLAN on what to cut, sew and complete. Then I take that PLAN and PLAN my weeks.
Classes continue to be my enjoyment and legacy by helping young and old people to carry on in the art of sewing, knitting, crochet, and other thread arts. Embroidery is coming back with people enjoying the fine art of creating heirloom items and embellishing their clothes.
It is going to be a great 2025. I am so excited for new things, meeting new people, catching up with current and past customers who have become friends.
Have a great 2025 by making it great!
