The Sewist Mastering the Art of Fabric

The Sewist Mastering the Art of Fabric Mastering the art of fabric since 2012, we are a sewing studio and fabric store dedicated to providing a creative space for our thriving sewing community!

I am a self taught seamstress who learned the love of sewing from my mom and grandmother. I love to create for my two children, and I love the fulfillment that I get when I see how much they enjoy what I make, and receive compliments from friends and strangers. I want to share that sense of accomplishment and pride with my students. The options for sewing instruction these days are limited, but t

he need and desire for it is great (just look at Etsy or Pinterest), I want to help make sure that the art and skill of sewing is passed onto the next generation by helping create confident, self-reliant, and skilled sewists.

It’s that time of year again…Market Camp is back in business!

Our campers have been hard at work building their business! From developing a strong brand to making sure their products pass quality control, it’s almost time to put all that work to the test at the Sidewalk Sale!
Everyone collaborated on brand concept and logo design, here’s a look at the flyer for this year’s Sidewalk Sale, featuring the logo they created together!

Check out the flyer and our Facebook event for more details! 🛍️

A look back at our Fibre Art Camp! 🧵

This week brought stories, landscapes, mosaics, abstract pieces, and plenty of ideas that took on a life of their own! Every project started with the same basic materials and came up with some seriously creative results.

It was a fun mix of techniques and ideas, and a pretty good reminder that you can do a lot with a pile of scraps and some imagination. ✨

Every workplace has that one oddly specific responsibility.

Ours is "go check the breaker panel." 😂

It's officially time to dig into the pattern collection! 🧵

Join Gabby as we start flipping through decades of vintage sewing patterns to see what treasures have been hiding inside. There are plenty of interesting finds, unexpected styles, and a few that definitely made us do a double take.
