Along with the rest of our crew here, I’m committed to helping you sew the things you want to make and wear.

I’m brand new!
I’m brand new to sewing and feeling a little overwhelmed. I have lots of ideas that I’d love to bring to life — but I really don't know how to get there. I wish I had a step-by-step plan to get me where I want to go, while making things I actually want to wear.

I want to create a wardrobe.
I love sewing, but I wish I could actually create a cohesive wardrobe. I want to be able to sew things that I'll wear all the time, and that work together to express who I am.

Hear from our members
I found Seamwork and I just fell in love with it. I like the fact that I can choose whatever pattern I want and they are all staples. It’s not like I’m making something and wearing it once. It’s actually things that I wear all the time.

Kudos to the pattern designers and makers for being on the leading edge of fashion. Just like colours, I suppose styles move in waves and it is nice to be part of a community that is current.

I love the sense of community, and being able to discuss things. There are not many places on the internet where people are welcoming and kind to each other, and I really appreciate that aspect of Seamwork.
