Hey there sewing bestie –

I am having wayyyy too much fun!

I am attending my very first Sewing and Stitchery Expo here in Pullyup, WA with Aaronica of Needle and the Belle and Tricia of Creative Costume Academy. Between the three of us, we have taught over 15 workshops, and I have been attending some fabulous classes here as well! My favorite has probably been the Boro Class with Shannon and Jason of Embrace the Creative Chaos. I've also been taking classes on some creative hand techniques to really make some of my summer pattern launches extra special πŸ˜‰

This whole experience has been a delightful one, full of valuable feedback and lessons that I can't wait to bring back to next year's expo. It's also been amazing staying with two other ✨stunning✨ creators. (Even if we've trauma bonded over our AirBNB freezing us out...but that's another story) I feel so refreshed and ready to come home and create some amazing tutorials and content for you guys. You know how sometimes you love something, but you may need a break from it? That's how I've felt for the past few months with sewing. But after this week, prepare to be sick of me 😎

As always, if you ever have questions, please don't hesitate to email me, send me a DM, or reach out! (Or for my Crescent City fans, you can send a messenger otter! πŸ’ŒπŸ¦¦)

​

Happy sewing! Lillia
