Since 2019 posting on the Mindful Wardrobe Project has been such a fun way of meeting other makers. I love sharing and posting on daily outfits, projects and thoughts on making. This is such a joyful and kind community. I'm so grateful for the course, community and fitting advice on the Mindful Wardrobe Project, thank you!
I expected to finish the Mindful Wardrobe Project with a capsule wardrobe but instead I have something much better: a feeling of excitement and playfulness to create a new wardrobe within the boundaries of my personal preferences. I have learnt so much about my style, creativity and what matters most to me as a sewist. The encouraging and inspiring community really helped to make the MWP a wonderful experience.
I just want to take a minute to tell you all how much I like your patterns.
I just made the Studio Tunic for my daughter (undyed denim) and it was so well designed! What a great gift.
I can’t even accurately express how your Mindful Wardrobe class changed my life.
As I read through it, *I* was in the gray phase. No idea who I was. I was the baby feeder, up in the middler of the night-er, the sitting on the floor like a zombie surrounded by laundry-er. For YEARS. Your course is what started me on the journey of finding out who *I* was (not what I’m being marketed) and then making clothes to fit THAT. I’m so glad I was able to purchase it outright and own it forever.
Thank you, Meg, for all you’ve done.
My big goal this year is to learn to sew pants. The pants fitting course has been fantastic for me, partly because of the thorough video instruction, but Saremy’s support in the forum is a game-changer. I feel as though she is sitting next to me, fitting my muslin right on my body. It’s hard to believe she is doing all of this virtually through me sharing photos and her sending me feedback, recommendations, and personalized video demos of what I’m to do. I am not only learning the how-to of pants fitting, but she is making it possible for me to actually understand why I’m doing it. Thank you so much, Saremy!
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. 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. 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.

I’m Meg, and I passionately believe that what you put on your body matters.
Your clothing choices affect your mood, which affects your thoughts, which make you … well, YOU.
I want you to dress yourself with intention. To clothe yourself in lovingly-made, well-fitting treasures. To dress how you want to FEEL.
I didn’t always have this clarity surrounding my wardrobe. Learn more about how my son’s devastating diagnosis shaped me into the confident and purpose-filled sewist I am today.
You want to love your wardrobe. You want the joy of making something beautiful.
But, let’s be honest, that long list of potential projects can be OVERWHELMING, making you feel anxious rather than joyful.
I’ve developed a Guide to Holding Time for Creativity where I show you a path to slowing down, finding mental space, and turning your sewing into a practice of self-care.
I love making things and seeing the things other people make!
Sewing and knitting have really changed the way I approach day to day life and increased my appreciation for the art and labor of the humans around me.
There’s just something special about making it yourself. And I think that’s why those of us who make things are so interested in a movie like Wildwood that celebrates human imagination and ingenuity.💛
p.s the Thistle Skirt pattern is coming next week 🍂
Fall is in full swing (in the northern hemisphere) and you all are sewing up some lovely Dungiven Dresses for the occasion 🍂
@ericasews.creates made the most autumnal orange red dress!
@laurakirbysews used a printed needle cord for a one of a kind version
@leila.makes sewed up a striking electric blue Dungiven
@pia_sews added constrast cuff facings for her dungvien
Sometimes when you don’t know what to wear, taking inspiration from what surrounds you can help! What are you cooking, seeing, using in your everyday life that can translate to a cute outfit?
From fall produce, to outdoors, to what’s sitting on your counter, outfit inspiration is closer than you think.
We’re a bit stuck in a cold in the morning, hot by the afternoon weather pattern here in NC. Luckily styling my Dungiven Dress as a duster works pretty well for that! This one is made with ventana twill.
I’m wearing it over a pair of Pinyon Pants, but I think it would be just as cute over Madrones or Chanterelle Pants. I might just need a long sleeved one for winter weather too…
