🪡 The Common Thread Issue 20

Hey Reader!

I spent last week at a Mastermind in Austin Texas and it was life changing! I got to meet 30 female entrepreneurs that I've been getting to know online over the past few months, but being able to meet and talk in person was so amazing. I walked away with SO many ideas of how to make Mother Sews Best even better and am so excited to keep helping YOU!

Our surprise guest speaker was Amy Porterfield!🤯 I fan girled just a little.

Had dinner on night one in the most gorgeous restaurant! It felt like I had stepped inside a greenhouse/ library. So dreamy!

The mastermind is led by Bonnie Christine. She such an inspiration and I'm so thankful for her leadership and example!

The special touches that Bonnie's team includes are above and beyond!

After almost 2 weeks of travel I was ready to get home and squeeze my babies.

Hemming Foot Set

from Madam Sew

Want to give your handmade clothes that polished, ready-for-the-runway finish? This 3-piece hemming presser foot set makes it so much easier to sew crisp, even hems without all the pre-ironing and finger burns. 😅 The secret’s in the little metal curl—it folds the raw edge under as you sew, so you get a clean, professional-looking hem on both sides of your fabric. It has three sizes (1/2”, 3/4”, and 1”), so you can hem pretty much anything with these!

Sew by Sew

This month's Sewing Society Fabric Sponsor is Sew by Sew, a deadstock fabric company. If you're looking for an eco friendly, more sustainable fabric buying option, then Sew by Sew is going to be your new favorite fabric shop. They sell leftover fabrics from fashion production that would otherwise go to the landfill. The fabric is super high quality and the prints are one of a kind.

When you're first starting out in your sewing journey, it's SO tempting to jump in head first and start with a complicated garment. This just leads to headache and disappointment if the project ends up being too hard to tackle. Another beginner tip I always share with my students is to start SUPER easy. Take on a project that gives you an easy win to help build your confidence! We just released our Stitchmas patterns on Etsy. These projects are easy, quick and don't take a lot of fabric, so they are perfect for beginners!

Building confidence when learning to sew is part of what makes sewing so rewarding. We love seeing members of The Sewing Society hone their craft and grow as a sewist. Katrhyna has done just that

"I’ve only did one project from Sewing Society and so far I love love it! It was so easy to follow! I made this dress today and I think it turned out so well!"

P.S. If you’re a creative business owner (or dreaming of becoming one), I’m hosting a free live workshop on Tuesday, April 8th at 8PM EST, and I’d love for you to join me! I’ll be sharing how I grew my Instagram from 3K to 800K followers in under a year—and more importantly, how I turned that growth into consistent sales without ads or burnout. Save your spot here! Can’t make it live? There will be a replay, but live attendees get a special bonus. 😉

Happy Sewing, Besties! 🪡
