Hey there sewing bestie –

It's me, hi!

The past month has been a whirlwind. I've started grad school, traveled, wrapped up another semester of teaching, and overall just life things. The word busy doesn't even sum it up! This summer has just begun, and I already feel behind. But, all the hustle meant I got an A in both of my research methods classes for grad school! I will absolutely be taking a Saturday to hang by the pool and drink a pretty drink. 🍹 β˜€οΈ

As we move into summer, I've got lots of ideas for some fun summer content that I think y'all are really going to love. To get ready for that though, you'll want to check out my ✨new✨ amazon store front where you can shop all my favorite amazon sewing items! I'll be start it up a new series where I will be reviewing items y'all suggest to me in my Sewing Besties instagram channel. So far we have the Oliso Iron and the Stripology rulers. Want to suggest something? Head over and join the conversation!

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
