I just took the Beyond Sewing Basics course, which I loved! Shaerie is one of the best teachers I have ever seen and one of the reasons I signed up for the course.
Your course was transformative, absolutely life changing!
I’ve made so much more space in my heart and my house for sewing. I’ve got a wardrobe of 15 pieces planned, colors and fabrics in mind, a pile of decent goodwill fabric for making a first draft, taped and cut out a few of my patterns, and I’ve made two pieces so far.
This is a lot considering I’m a momma of five! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Can I just say that I LOVE GETTING EMAILS FROM YOU ALL!!!!!!
Seriously! I'm so inspired everytime, no matter who is writing....the helpful tips, encouragement and lovely pictures are so motivating! I'm a new but passionate sewist, thanks to your simple philosophy of layering styles, being a conscious consumer, and making treasured pieces that bring you joy and creativity. I've made several of your patterns and am slowly working through the beautiful courses you send out!
I love making the Hinterland because it's simple and comfortable and you can wear it all the time. It's the perfect dress for many occasions.
The Hinterland Dress was my first foray into fitting my upper body, though I've been sewing for 50 years. I worked with the FABULOUS Judith to make the necessary alterations and I now feel confident to move forward with Hinterland hacks. It's a great pattern to use as a blank canvas for all sorts of outfits.
I can’t even accurately express how your Mindful Wardrobe class changed my life.
As I read through it, *I* was in the gray phase. No idea who I was. I was the baby feeder, up in the middler of the night-er, the sitting on the floor like a zombie surrounded by laundry-er. For YEARS. Your course is what started me on the journey of finding out who *I* was (not what I’m being marketed) and then making clothes to fit THAT. I’m so glad I was able to purchase it outright and own it forever.
Thank you, Meg, for all you’ve done.

an iconic handmade dress

When we released the Hinterland Dress pattern, we had no idea that it was going to spread so far, all via word-of-mouth.
Grab your pattern and join in!

I’m Meg, and I passionately believe that what you put on your body matters.
Your clothing choices affect your mood, which affects your thoughts, which make you … well, YOU.
I want you to dress yourself with intention. To clothe yourself in lovingly-made, well-fitting treasures. To dress how you want to FEEL.
I didn’t always have this clarity surrounding my wardrobe. Learn more about how my son’s devastating diagnosis shaped me into the confident and purpose-filled sewist I am today.
You want to love your wardrobe. You want the joy of making something beautiful.
But, let’s be honest, that long list of potential projects can be OVERWHELMING, making you feel anxious rather than joyful.
I’ve developed a Guide to Holding Time for Creativity where I show you a path to slowing down, finding mental space, and turning your sewing into a practice of self-care.
I love making things and seeing the things other people make!
Sewing and knitting have really changed the way I approach day to day life and increased my appreciation for the art and labor of the humans around me.
There’s just something special about making it yourself. And I think that’s why those of us who make things are so interested in a movie like Wildwood that celebrates human imagination and ingenuity.💛
p.s the Thistle Skirt pattern is coming next week 🍂
Fall is in full swing (in the northern hemisphere) and you all are sewing up some lovely Dungiven Dresses for the occasion 🍂
@ericasews.creates made the most autumnal orange red dress!
@laurakirbysews used a printed needle cord for a one of a kind version
@leila.makes sewed up a striking electric blue Dungiven
@pia_sews added constrast cuff facings for her dungvien
Sometimes when you don’t know what to wear, taking inspiration from what surrounds you can help! What are you cooking, seeing, using in your everyday life that can translate to a cute outfit?
From fall produce, to outdoors, to what’s sitting on your counter, outfit inspiration is closer than you think.
We’re a bit stuck in a cold in the morning, hot by the afternoon weather pattern here in NC. Luckily styling my Dungiven Dress as a duster works pretty well for that! This one is made with ventana twill.
I’m wearing it over a pair of Pinyon Pants, but I think it would be just as cute over Madrones or Chanterelle Pants. I might just need a long sleeved one for winter weather too…
