👜 **STEPPING OUTSIDE MY COMFORT ZONE!**

You know how I'm always encouraging everyone to try something new, take chances, and not be afraid to make mistakes?

Well...apparently that advice applies to ME, too! 😂

This weekend, I stepped outside my comfort zone with a little bag making!

I'm much more comfortable with my quilting tools and techniques, but learning something different reminds me what it's like to be on the other side of the classroom.

Trying something unfamiliar. Figuring things out as I go. Making mistakes, learning from them, and celebrating the little victories along the way.

And you know what? **It's GOOD for me!**

Sometimes, as teachers, we need to remember what it feels like to be students.

So here's your reminder for the week:

❤️ **You don't have to be good at something to enjoy learning how to do it.**

Now, I'm going to show off what I made because I'm pretty darn proud of myself! 😂🧵

**What's something you've been wanting to try but haven't quite worked up the courage to tackle?**

🧵 **WHAT'S ON MY CUTTING TABLE?**

November already?! How did THAT happen? 😂

A new month means new projects, new possibilities, and maybe another opportunity to finish something that's been sitting on our cutting tables for a while.

Or...we could just start something completely new. No judgment here!

So tell me, what's on your cutting table this week?

❤️ Are you starting, finishing, or somewhere in between?

Drop a picture in the comments. We want to see what you're creating!

🧵 **BECKY'S THREAD OF WISDOM**

Sometimes the most important thing you can do for your creativity is simply show up.

Not every sewing session needs to produce a finished block.

Not every class needs to result in a perfect project.

And not every hour at your machine needs to be productive.

Sometimes you need to sit down, visit with a friend, play with some fabric, or remember why you fell in love with sewing in the first place.

**Your sewing time doesn't have to be productive to be worthwhile.** ❤️

Give yourself permission to enjoy the process this week.

👜 **A LITTLE HALLOWEEN SEWING MAGIC!** 🎃

Who needs tricks when you can learn to make something fabulous?

It's Bag Boot Camp day at The Studio!

We love classes where you can build your sewing skills AND walk away with something you'll actually use.

And let's be clear...once you start making bags, you may find yourself needing a bag to hold all the bags you've made. 😂

Have you ever made your own bag?

I've made one, but I want to learn more. I am taking this opportunity to learn from the BEST --Esther!!

**Tell me what you think of my fabric!** ❤️

🧵 **PULL UP A CHAIR!**

You know what makes sewing even better?

Having a place to go where you can spread out your project, ask a question, share a laugh, and spend time with people who understand why you NEED another piece of fabric. 😂

That's what we're building at The Studio.

Not just classes. Not just sewing machines and cutting tables.

**A place where you belong.**

Our Stitch Club sessions are happening throughout the week, including tonight with Esther!

And with Studio memberships starting at just **$45 a month**, we'd love to help you find your place at our tables.

❤️ Come see what The Studio is all about!

🎓 A LITTLE LEARNING, A LOT OF SEWING!

We've got Quilting 102, Senior Year #5, and Stitch Club happening at The Studio today.

And that's one of my favorite things about this place.

We have quilters who are still building their confidence, quilters who are tackling more advanced techniques, and quilters who just need a place to spread out and SEW!

Nobody has to be at the same place in their quilting journey.

There's room at our tables for all of it. ❤️

Curious about our classes or what it takes to become a Studio member? We'd love to have you join us!

🧵 Visit thestudiobysewinstitches.com to see what's happening.

🧵 WHAT'S ON MY CUTTING TABLE?

It's Monday, and you know what that means!

Time to confess what we're REALLY working on. 😂

Are you finishing something? Starting something? Or did you walk into your sewing room with every intention of finishing a project and somehow end up cutting into completely different fabric?

We've all been there!

Here at The Studio, our Stitch Club tables will be busy today, and we'd love to see what's happening at yours.

Show us what's on your cutting table this week! Drop a photo in the comments. ❤️

There’s Always a Next Step 🎓
Today is one of those days that really shows what learning looks like at The Studio.
We’ve got Stitch Club happening, Senior Year #2, and Quilting 102—which means quilters are working at all different places in their journey.
Some are strengthening the basics. Some are tackling more advanced techniques. Some are simply trying to remember which way they pressed the last seam. 😂
And we LOVE all of it.
Because you don't have to know everything to be a quilter.
You just have to be willing to learn the next thing. 🧵❤️
