Hey Reader!

I'm writing this from the passenger seat. We're on the way home from Washington DC where we spent spring break with our oldest 3 kids. It was amazing, but OH MY GOODNESS I'm tired. I feel like we walked at least 25 miles over 3 days. I'm always so inspired going to new places, seeing the different scenery and architecture.

I think my favorite thing we saw was all the dresses that the first ladies wore to the inaugural ball- each one was SO beautiful and I love thinking through the construction, fabric etc. I'm also including some other sewing related things I saw.

When is the last time you cleaned your sewing machine? If you're dealing with issues like skipped stitches, tension mishaps or birdnesting, it could be that your machine needs some love. Not sure how to do it? We cover this in our signature course, the Mother Sews Best Sewing Course, or in our Ready Set Sew Challenge. Now go give your machine some much deserved love!

Rhian

We love to see our students win! Check out how Rhian has grown as a sewist over the past 6 months:

"My skills and confidence have grown massively , I never thought I’d be able to read a pattern or even make something I could wear ! The most is done previously was a peg bag ! I now see or cut a pattern most weeks and now I feel even though I have so much more to learn the possibilities are endless 😄"
