I absolutely loved this deep dive into your creative process! I have yet to make an SWS pattern because around the time I discovered your work, I also realized sewing was not bringing me joy. Your description of the home-sewing experience (dining room cutting table, fighting with animals and children for notions, etc etc) has reignited my interest in reaching for a sewing pattern — one of yours! We’ll see if that manifests for me, but as a creative with a full time job not directly related to creative making, I really appreciate this insight into how creative projects can happen — over time, with patience, in snatches — however it needs to. I’m excited for you to have your one paid day a week to work on SWS and hope it brings some joy to your process.
This was so interesting to read! I loved learning about your process and how thoughtful and considered it is. So happy for you that you get a SWS day each week now, and as someone who's kids are all grown up now (and I still struggle to find the time to sew) I can understand how hard this was to accomplish!

Thank you! Isn't that always it? Never enough time for the things we love. Wishing you some quality sewing time soon.
Congratulations on your new weekly day of SW!
Hyuge step! Feels very extravagant.
Wait. I DID NOT realize that you’re the person behind SW! I love your patterns. I am about to make the Ramona, fingers crossed 🤞🏼
Yes, tis me! Thank you. So glad you are a SWS fan! Ramona is often overlooked, but so fun to wear and style!
Maybe people are like me and just a little intimidated by the yoke? I’ll send a pic when I’m done!
This was such a joy to read. Thank you for sharing your process with us!
Thank you for reading!
