Sewing From The Hart

We specialize in handmade weighted blankets, memory animals, ring pillows and more. In 2014, my son was diagnosed with a sensory disorder. But it worked!
(1)

The OT recommended a weighted blanket to help him sleep. Upon my research I discovered that they were very expensive, but looked simple to make. So I attempted to make him one. Well it was small and packed full of pellets. I decided to continue trying and made him another one and that's when I cam e up with my current design. My goal is to make weighted blankets affordable. I customize each one. We want a print that the person will like and weight that feels good. I use poly pellets and 100% cotton fabric. That way the blanket stays cool and is also machine washable. I have also made some with flannel on one side and cotton on the other.

It’s November, which means Christmas shopping is officially underway! 🎄

If you’ve been thinking about having a memory bear or another keepsake made from someone special’s clothing, now is a great time to get started.

I make memory bears, dogs, elephants, whales, dachshunds, and pillows using clothing you send me. Each one is handmade with lots of care, and no two are ever exactly alike. ❤️

These make such meaningful Christmas gifts, whether you’re remembering someone you miss or preserving a special time in your life.

You can see all the options at www.sewingfromthehart.com.

And if you have questions about what clothing works best, I’m always happy to help!

Went to an embroidery class and fell in love with a $17,000 embroidery machine. 😍🧵

Today, my husband picked up the hoop I ordered from the class.

Naturally, I asked if he was bringing home an embroidery machine, too.

He was not. 😒

So here’s my exciting new hoop. 😂

A girl can dream, right?!

Apparently, owning an embroidery business means I still have to go to school! 😂🧵

I’m trading my classroom for an embroidery classroom today!

Even after years of running Sewing From The Hart, there’s always something new to learn. New techniques, new equipment, and hopefully a few ideas to make my little business even better.

I’m excited to spend the day learning, getting inspired, and seeing what’s new in the embroidery world.

And don’t worry… I’m just looking at the new embroidery machines. 👀😂

📣 School spirit looks even better embroidered! ❤️

I’ve been busy stitching up cheer sweatshirts, and I love how these turned out!

From the embroidered design on the front to the personalized names on the sleeves, it’s those little details that make each one special. 🧵

Did you know Sewing From The Hart also creates custom embroidered apparel for schools, sports teams, clubs, and small businesses?

Whether you need one sweatshirt or a whole team’s worth, there’s no minimum order!

Have an idea? I’d love to help bring it to life! ❤️

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 🎀

This month feels a little different to me now.

Behind Sewing From The Hart is a real person, a family, and a life that has been changed by breast cancer. It gave me an entirely new understanding of just how much strength, uncertainty, love and hope can be wrapped into one journey.

So this October, I’m thinking about the women currently sitting in treatment chairs, the survivors learning what life looks like on the other side, the families walking beside someone they love, and those remembering someone they wish were still here. 💕

Sewing From The Hart has always been about creating things that hold meaning, celebrate people and preserve memories. Somehow, that mission means even more to me now.

Here’s to strength, hope, early detection, good care, and all the people who help carry us through the hard parts. 🎀

It's National Black Dog Day! 🖤🐾

Around here, dogs have a pretty special place in the sewing room too.

I've made memory dogs from favorite shirts, pajamas, blankets, and other meaningful pieces of clothing—turning something someone loved into a keepsake their family can hold onto.

Some celebrate a beloved person. Some preserve a special time in someone's life. And every single one tells a different story.

Today seems like a pretty good day to give the dogs a little extra love. 🐾💕

Apparently today is National Coffee Day, which feels like a holiday made specifically for people who teach all day and then come home and run a business. 😂☕

Coffee in hand, embroidery machine running, and we're calling it balance.

So I need to know: what's your coffee order? ☕👇

Apparently Elephant Appreciation Day was Monday… and somehow the lady who actually MAKES elephants missed it. 😂🐘

So we’re celebrating a little late!

These little elephants are one of my favorite ways to turn meaningful fabric into something you can hold onto. Baby blankets, a loved one’s clothing, or another special piece of fabric can become a keepsake filled with memories.

And judging by the love these little guys get from my customers, I think they deserve their own day—even if I was two days late to the party. 💕🐘
