Earlier this week I finished the Nest sweatshirt, my first Sew Liberated project, and I just wanted to say how wonderful the complete experience was for me.
I finally felt a true love for sewing, instead of a mild frustration which always accompanied my sewing. your pattern was so clear, so well written, and the sweatshirt was so unbelievably original that everything just felt perfect and right, and that is absolutely thanks to you.
Yay for indie pattern makers!
Hi Team,
I just completed the Elevenses course and it was a great experience.
I was skeptical of taking a sewing course. I have been sewing clothes since I was a teenager (I am 65 yrs old). I am so glad I took the course. Yes, I could have muscled through but it wouldn't have been enjoyable and I might not have even started it.
I learned some new techniques but more importantly I gained confidence. In all my years of sewing I never felt confident because I had taught myself and I didn't trust myself. Watching Shaerie do the same things I do reassured me. It was like receiving overdue feedback.
The step by step video course is so well thought out and because of the pacing I didn't burn myself sitting for the entire day. Shaerie's instruction was clear and concise.
It makes me happy to know you are teaching another generation to sew. Yes - people can teach themselves as I did, but it's a different world and some things don't have to be so hard.
Thank you,
Marina
I would like to praise the pattern for the Metamorphic dress, which was my first Sew Liberated make, and in fact the first thing I have hand-sewn since I was in school (over 35 years ago!!!!)
The pattern was just what I was looking for, the instructions were really comprehensive and easy to follow, and I loved learning new things, especially the 'burrito' method for sewing the lined bodice. And as well as Sew Liberated getting me sewing once more, I was delighted with the results, so all-in-all I can't thank you enough!
I feel the need to let you know that, while I am not new to sewing, I was never confident enough to sew clothing for myself until I discovered Sew Liberated. You and your crew are the reason I made all of my clothing this summer and discovered an amazing community not only in the Sew Liberated gang but in so many of your suggestions. I am a different sewist these days and I wanted to say thank you!
Sew liberated had been on my radar for a number of years, and had with great hope purchased some patterns and even the fabric. .. then life got busy. But when I saw the fit & sew class for the Chanterelle pants I found time and made it a priority. As a life long sewist there are many gaps in my skill set, and confidently altering a pattern to fit the body I have now is a glaring one. I was so impressed with the format of the class and Sharie’s ability to teach in such a way that she hit on all of the small things a newby wouldn’t know while at the same time not dumbing it down so much that a veteran like myself would loose interest. I love my pants so much I even find myself dreaming of laundry day so I can wear them again.
I couldn't be happier with my Hinterland Dress! 1st, the instructions are awesome, 2nd it has pockets, 3rd the fit is great! I'm looking forward to sewing a winter version with flannel fabric and long sleeves! And very eager to sewing other patterns from Sew Liberated.
