What a fun week at Travel Ready Sewing Camp!✈️🧳

We are just obsessed with these duffel bags. Our campers spent the week creating one of their very own, from choosing their fabrics, to learning how to add binding to their pockets, inserting a basic zipper, and adding webbing, these girls worked hard and have so much to be proud of!

Help us celebrate their hard work!💛🐝

Join us for Sewciety this Friday 10am-1pm! Bring your current project and enjoy a few hours of sewing, conversation, and creativity with fellow sewists.

Whether you’re quilting, garment sewing, bag making, or just trying to finish that project that’s been waiting patiently at home, we’d love to have you join us.

Coffee, conversation, and sewing friends included.💛

Join me for Fabric Friday!

Starting this Friday, I'll be going live from the studio to share new fabrics, project ideas, class updates, and a few of my favorite things from around the shop. It will be a fun, informal way to stay connected and see what's new each week.

I hope you'll join me Friday afternoons for a little sewing inspiration before the weekend begins.🩷

Starting the week with gratitude for a busy studio, wonderful students, and a community that loves to create. Week 2 of Summer Camps, here we go! 💛

Happy National Sewing Machine Day! 🪡

In honor of the day, Ruby Star Society is offering a free pattern for this charming sewing machine cover. We have yardage available of the typewriter print shown here, so if this project has your name on it, we’ve got you covered!

Who else thinks their sewing machine deserves a pretty outfit? 😊

Happy National Sewing Machine Day to the machine that’s heard all our muttering, stitched through our late-night “one more seam” decisions, and faithfully survived being sewn over pins 😂

To celebrate, we’re sharing this adorable FREE “Just My Type” Machine Cover pattern from Ruby Star Society

Because honestly… if your sewing machine works this hard, she deserves a cute outfit too 💖

💙TILDA TRUNK SHOW💙

The wait is over! The first day of our Tilda Something Blue Trunk Show is Friday, June 5, and the doors will open at 10:00am.

🗓 Show Hours:
Friday, June 5 | 10am–4pm
Saturday, June 6 | 10am–4pm
Sunday, June 7 | 1pm–5pm

We'll continue the show the following weekend, June 12–14, while supplies last.

To help you make the most of your visit, we encourage you to do a little "homework" before the show!

📖 Browse the Tilda Catalog:

🧵 Explore the Free Tilda Patterns:
https://www.tildasworld.com/free-patterns/

Take a look through the projects and start making a wish list:
✔ Which projects catch your eye?
✔ Which fabrics are your favorites?
✔ How much yardage will your project require?

The more prepared you are, the easier it will be to shop and the more likely you'll leave with exactly what you need to get started.

We're also trying to prepare as many kits as possible ahead of time. If there is a specific Tilda project you'd like to make, please send us a message and let us know! While we can't guarantee every request, we'd love to know what you're hoping to sew so we can plan accordingly.

We'll have trunk show samples, fabric, kits, inspiration, and plenty of Tilda goodness waiting for you.

We will see you this weekend? Let us know below! 💙
