Hey Reader!

Hey Reader!

If you are like me and live in the southeast you are probably hunkering down for the Ice-pocalypse. One thing about me is that I despise the cold in general, but I reeeeeally hate snow or ice or anything that requires it to be less than 75 degrees Fahrenheit. 🙃

If you are also stuck in your house this week with not much to do, maybe this is a great chance for you to pull out your sewing machine if you've been thinking about it. (That would mean you'd have to have power, so praying we all keep that!😅). If you need a little reminder about how to thread your sewing machine, check out my free lesson here!

And if you are overwhelmed about what to do after getting your machine set up then I'd love to see you at the So Long Sew-Verwhelm workshop I'm hosting next week! It's totally free and will help you get a plan in place about what baby steps to take to go from intimidated by your machine to being able to sit down and confidently make anything you want!

Last year over 10,000 women signed up and LOVED this workshop and we are on track to have even more than that this year! I'd love for you to be one of them! Here's what last years participants had to say...

So I'll see you then?? Can't wait!

Dawn Jeans By Megan Nielsen Patterns If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen my journey with fitting the Dawn Jeans. I'm still making some tweaks, and can't wait to see how they turn out! I'm obsessed with this 4 in 1 pattern. It comes in four cuts, multiple lengths for tall, regular and cropped. It's high-waisted and has all the classic jean features you could want in a sewing pattern. The best part? There's also a shorts option too (anyone else dreaming of warmer weather or is it just me?). Available in a wide range of sizes, be sure to check it out by clicking below! Check Out the Dawn Jeans Here

Blackbird Fabrics If you're making jeans, then Blackbird Fabrics is where you need to go for denim. They are the leaders in high quality, beautifully curated fabrics. Located in Canada but offering shipping worldwide, they are the go-to of seasoned sewists. Check out their amazing denim collection by clicking below. Check Out Blackbird Fabrics Here

Don't have a sewing machine? Unsure of what all the sewing terms in your pattern mean? Don't even know where to begin when you sew?!

We hear you and that's exactly why we created the ​So Long Sewverwhelm Workshop​. But better yet, you'll walk away with our FREE Path to Sewing Workbook which is PACKED with resources for new and seasoned sewists alike. It has things like:

• Our Favorite Online Fabric Shops
• Machine Troubleshooting Cheat Sheet
• Fabric Types Resource
• Fabric Terms Guide
• Seam Finishes

AND SO MUCH MORE! Seriously, there's over 25 pages and it's a resource we at MSB often use ourselves.

Kid's Debit Cart By Greenlight For the last 4 or 5 years we have used Greenlight to help my kids manage their money and it has been one of the best things! I promote it to everyone when kid's money comes up. I love that they have spending and savings accounts and it is so simple for me to pay them for jobs (or them pay me back for something they HAD to have from Target but they forgot their physical card if we're being real). I also love that it is super easy for other people to pay them just by scanning a qr code just like Venmo! That's been a huge bonus for my daughter who has been babysitting a lot! And lastly, my most favorite part is that we don't have random cash floating around the house anymore that everyone is claiming is theirs! (is that just my kids??). If they get cash for a birthday etc, I take it and pay them the amount in their Greenlight account! I can't recommend Greenlight enough if you have kids and are trying to teach them about using money responsibly! Check out Greenlight Here

We are ONE WEEK AWAY from our free workshop coming up on January 28th! The So Long Sewverwhelm Workshop will walk you through a clear, confidence-boosting roadmap for learning to sew, so you know exactly what to focus on next without feeling overwhelmed. Click here to save your spot and join us!​
