At Sewing by Carolyn, we’re on a mission to bring sewing back to its rightful place, an essential household skill that’s both empowering and valuable. We’re here to teach, inspire, and support sewists of all levels, by building a vault of sewing skills in the area of alterations. (Hence the web address, Project Sewing Vault)
We want to help you feel confident in your sewing skills, whether that means learning how to alter your own clothes to fit your unique body, or transforming your craft into a career; into a business that honors your worth and your sewing skills. Sewing is more than just a hobby; it’s a vital skill, as proven when sewists made masks during the pandemic to protect our healthcare workers.
Together, we’ll shift the conversation, showing the world that sewing is not only valuable, but essential, and that everyone has a place in this beautiful, supportive community.

[Action Lab] Oil your Machine!
If you've sewn for any length of time, you know the machine should be oiled. We know we *should* but either we put it off because we don't know how or we procrastinate like it's this big scary thing.***
No more!
Grab this Action Lab and do your own maintenance, just like we do in our sewing business, between trips to the repair shop. Seriously, it will take about a half hour.
Aaaaaaand? We'll send you 📨 notes when it's time to do it again. I don't know about you, but I forget if I don't set myself reminders.
***Even if you already know how, do it for the accountability, for the community, for the comradery. We could all use a super supportive sewing community (Think Sewing Circles from the past) and if you have any great tips to add, I'd love to share them with others!
