Here’s a useful little alteration I did today:

Adding some ease into your tight waistband isn’t as difficult as you may think - in this pair of slacks I was able to add almost 2” and it’s almost unnoticeable on the outside!

Like magic!

Are you team rotary cutter or fabric scissors?

Is your family allowed to touch your scissors?

I’m gonna be really unpopular in this sewing crowd when I say I’m not strict with my scissors at all… I use my scissors to cut open my sewing snack and snip my threads! Shhh. 🤫

My mom and I had so much fun sewing with the Avon Girl Scouts this weekend!

We helped them learn how to sew using one of my favorite beginner projects — a pillowcase made with the burrito method. It’s always so fun watching new sewists turn a pile of fabric into something they’re proud of. These girls did an amazing job!

Don’t forget to support your local Girl Scouts by stopping by a cookie booth this season. Cookie sales help make experiences like this possible — from learning new skills like sewing, to going to camp, to building confidence and money management skills.

And let’s be honest… you probably needed another box of cookies anyway.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…

Prom season!

My studio has officially entered sparkle season! I love meeting the amazing young folx who walk in with their gowns and suits, ready to make their look theirs. We chat about why they chose that color, that cut, that vibe — and how we can tweak the fit so they feel absolutely unstoppable.

There’s something so special about hearing about the friend groups, the dates, the after-parties, the photo plans… sometimes family or friends come along and we turn the fitting into a full-on hype session. It’s such a joy to be a tiny part of such a big memory.

If your prom look needs a little nip, tuck, hem, or glow-up moment — I’ve got you. Let’s make sure you walk in feeling confident, comfortable, and completely yourself.

DM, text, or email to schedule your fitting!

xo, Megan

I’ve started adding new classes and summer camps to the schedule at Stitch Cleveland!

You can find all the details under the Classes tab at stitchcleveland.org.

I’m truly inspired by all the protest and activist quilts I’m seeing on the socials lately (especially because I had to miss QuiltCon this year) and am planning to bring you some workshops and classes centered around storytelling through textiles — bold blocks, meaningful messages, collaborative pieces, and quilts that say something. Whether it’s personal, political, playful, or powerful, I want to create space for makers to use fabric as their voice.

If that sparks something for you, I’d love to hear it.

Tell me what would make you excited to sign up!

In recognition of World AIDS Day, I'm honored to share a few photos of our ongoing contributions to the AIDS Memorial Quilt, created in partnership with local families and artists, MetroHealth Hospital, and the LGBT Community Center.

The AIDS Memorial Quilt—considered the largest community arts project in history—serves as a powerful reminder of the individual lives, stories, and love behind the fight against HIV/AIDS. We’re humbled to help preserve these memories and uplift our community through creativity and collaboration.
Thank you to everyone who has helped us create these meaningful panels over the last 15 years. Special thanks to Jen McMillen Smith for continuing to bring this important work of art and remembrance to Cleveland.

Stay tuned for future opportunities to participate in this important project!
