Fall Vibes! Are we going classic Retro pumpkin patch or a moody Grunge babe? To be honest I’m a bit of both. 💁🏻‍♀️🎃🖤 It’s always bitter sweet to say goodbye to summer. I love my beach days— but a whiff of pumpkin spice latte and I’m already pressing play for a classic horror movie. Here’s a sneak peek of new fabrics coming to the shop this week. See one you love? Let me know what you’re excited for in the comments!

Sewing is for Everybody. Sewing is for👏 Every👏 Body👏. That’s what’s so beautiful about it.

Sewing gives you permission to express yourself.
Sewing lets you create something that only you own because you made it for yourself.
Sewing gives you the skills to sew for those in need, to repair what you have, and to make gifts for the people you love.

Sewing is a craft found in every culture, generation, and community. It’s something we all have in common: a love for making.🧵💕

Your sewing machine doesn’t care what size you are, what color your skin is, where your parents are from, your age, your income, or how long you’ve been sewing.

That’s what I love about sewing. But I want to see more people represented in the sewing community.

More bodies.
More cultures.
More ages.
More styles.
More skill levels.
More stories.

Because sewing isn’t for one specific group of people.
Sewing is for everybody.

So if you love to sew and you’ve been scared to share your projects with the world, let this be your permission slip.
Sew and tell us about it.
Tell us what you made.
Tell us why you made it.
Tell us who inspired you.
Tell us what went wrong.
Tell us what you learned.

Just by being yourself and sharing what you make, you give someone else permission to do the same.
Sewing is for Everybody.
And I want to see you here. 🧵

If you’ve made anything using fabric from Sew by Sew—tag and share. Let’s inspire each other.

We’re not your grandma's fabric store— unless you have a badass grandma! This rayon challis-twill ‘Will Sting’ featuring scorpions is not for the faint of heart. It has enough structure for button-ups and enough flow for dresses or skirts. And with Scorpio ♏️ season coming up—now you've found the fabric to sew something special for your favorite Scorpio—you don’t want to be on their bad side 😉. Is this print too creepy for you, or do you love it? Share what you would sew in the comments!

Thank you to every Sewing Nerd who’s placed an order with us. Especially those of you who’ve been patient and supportive the last 6 weeks. It’s been a whirl!

We went to NYC at the beginning of August and started prepping orders on the 11th; once we returned, we had an influx of orders. 🗽

Had a surprising feature on Amy’s Sewing Room YouTube channel 10 days later, featuring a Mystery Bundle unboxing. Thank you, Amy!🥹

And then I got hit with a tough cold 🤧 that knocked me out for 5 solid days. 5 days of work that I couldn’t do. As a small business owner whose business relies on me for most of the processing, this was stressful.

Not to mention, my box supplier sold their business and stopped selling boxes with no warning 📦, and one of my main deadstock fabric suppliers closed their doors out of the blue. 😰

But we still ended up saving over 300 LBS of denim scraps from the landfill thanks to YOU— so that’s pretty cool 🤓👖✨

The past few weeks have been a roller coaster. Lots of lessons learned on every level of my being. Thanks for sticking with me! I’m excited to share that we’re putting new systems in place to process your orders faster; I’m getting more support with cutting and folding your fabrics; I found a new box supplier; and I have tons of new fabrics coming to the shop for your next sewing projects. Stay tuned!! 💋

Solids jerseys are coming. Here’s a sneak peek at my favorite trio: Fresh Cut Grass, Roma and Lilly.

These are going to be available soon as Pre-cuts this week.
1.5 yards
3 yards
5 yards

Why pre cut? To make it easier to prep and ship your order! We understand that pre-cuts are not for everybody and that’s OK. We’re a small team and need to prep the back end before we can go full scale with more colors.

And as you can see from this trio— these are super limited yardage. One of the beauties of deadstock— once it sells out it will rarely be restocked because it’s the end of a roll.

What color are you most excited about? 🌱, 🍅 or 🌸? Let me know in the comments. And if you want to be the first to know when these drop— join my Sew Cool Club. Link in bio 📧

Not all the stripe prints — just a few we’ve got on the shop right now. 🤓

Breton, Roman, Awning, and Candy stripe.

Stripes are the ultimate wardrobe basics, and they hit different when they’re sewn in deadstock fabric. 🧵

Made anything in a stripe fabric yet? Share your make in the comments.

You know the fabric that’s been sitting in your stash for a special occasion. The “pretty” fabric that’s was too expensive, too vintage or just too good to cut.

I want you to cut and sew it. ✂️
And, I want you to make something special for yourself. Because you deserve it. 💖

Don’t let the “pretty” fabric go unused like your favorite stickers growing up.

I’m curious— what is the prettiest fabric in your stash you’re going to cut into this week. Share the details in the comments and what you plan on sewing!🧵✨

Because today is just as special as tomorrow. Sew what makes YOU happy.
