See what we’ve been stitchin’ up lately, thanks to Instagram!

I've been working on digitizing a few of the patterns we use here in our sewing classes so that I can share them with the 🌎 and I am so close to publishing them on the site! One project I really dig that we started making this school year is the Roll Up Toolkit (thanks, @sewleana for the inspiration, you're the best!) because it makes them all use a ruler to measure and mark stuff. The amount of times I tell the student's in our classes that THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SKILL TO LEARN FOR LIFE is kindof comical here, but ruler skills are really one that's worthwhile ⚡ If you're interested in some beginner friendly sewing patterns - some of which will be free, woohoo - make sure to join the shop's newsletter to find out more! Gratuitous model shot of me because @lilypannella is very talented and as mentioned previously: if you want to feel like you've got your $#&@ together (when in reality you need 4 more hours in the day and a clone who wants to answer emails and phone calls all day asking "hi do u give sewing lessons there?" 😳) Then you should have a talented friend like Lily come by, make you feel less dorky and take excellent photos of you making you look extra Where my Tula Troops at!? We're a 🤏 Small But Mighty Fabric Shop ®️ which means I can't click *buy whole collection* when I'm bringing in fabric to fill our shelves (there are only so many of those here 😂) BUT I can't help myself and have fun bringing in my favorites of each collection ✂ Plus, there's plenty of colorful babes on the shelves to help you round out a new project or complement an existing one!⁣ When your super power is sewing🦸‍♀️making your own popsicle tank top is of course on top of your ~ to sew ~ list in class! Love C's Summer ready tank 🍨☀ aren't ya a lil' jealous of her style!? (Find the last bit of this fabric in the shop if the kids don't all use it up first!)⁣ A snapshot of all the flowy, soft, drapey, natural fiber filled and SuMmEr ReAdy 😎✂🌞 garment fabrics just waiting for their future sewist to come and take them home from the Shop ✨ I know a handful of these are getting turned into a @closetcorepatterns #Elodiedress this Sunday in our workshop - which would you choose? ⁣ So much for the nor'easter that decided to obliterate all the pink blossoms off the trees last weekend 🙃 so here's one of my student's embroidered zipper pouch as a trade off (and check out those neat little french knots she did!) And another's embroidered bumble bee and honeycombs 🐝 i love teaching the kids hand embroidery - it's great for fine motor skills but also the possibilities for what to stitch and endless! 🌸 What's your favorite sign of Spring, beyond the first bees and cherry blossoms? Imma just put this photo my SIL sent me of my baby nephew B in his new @tincanknits #antlertoque that I made for him during my covid isolation thing a few weeks back so that everyone can get those general feel good emotions that looking at adorable babies can make swell up in your heart. ⁣ Are you following the @NJshophop page yet?
