Hi! My name is Sara Lawson and I'm a sewing pattern designer and live streamer from Chicago.

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Sooo...ich denke jetzt wird es Zeit, dass ich auch mal ein paar meiner Nähwerke hier auf Instagram zeige...😊

Eben ist der Urban Sea Backpack von Sew Sweetness fertig geworden!
Ich denke, das ist das komplizierteste Projekt, das ich bisher genäht habe...
Und auch der erste Rucksack, den ich je genäht habe!
Aber Dank der tollen Videos hat es ganz gut geklappt (trotzdem, dass alles auf Englisch ist).
Der Grumpy Whale Stoff hat es mir angetan, damit es nicht zu viel wird habe ich ihn mit einem schwarzen Leinenstoff kombiniert.
Auf der Klappe ist die Grumpy Whale Trapunto Stickerei von @naehwerksandyb
Ich mag den Rucksack sehr und er hat eine tolle Größe!

My amazing friend Sarah Fielke @sfielke has just been announced as the newest designer in the @freespiritfabrics line up with TWO collections announced “Memory Lane” and “Old Quilts New Life”.

Sarah’s pretty busy so I was thrilled to sew some samples in her new fabric for her.

These are the Aspidistra Train Case by @sewsweetness in the small, medium and large! The pattern turns out so cute and look at those amazing prints!

You know what to do! Tell your local quilt shop you want the new fabrics and get them to order Sarah’s debut for FreeSpirit!

And here is a more detailed showcase of the second of my two most recent backpack makes. For this one, I went with two side-zippered pockets instead of the original combination because this concept demanded symmetry.

Two new Flight Packs are taking off tonight. ✈️

At 7 PM, these two will be available on my website.

Both feature a distinctive half-egg silhouette, extensive quilting, layered construction, functional pockets, and a ridiculous number of little details.

And if you've missed some of the quieter additions lately, there are several other new pieces already waiting on the website, too.

Tonight at 7 PM.

Been making quick projects out of cork using free patterns by @sewsweetness I made 2 black wallets, one for my Dad and one for a friend of his. I also made the passport holder. I added a little packet pocket in the passport holder to hold an RFID blocking card.

Super simple projects!!! And the cork hooks up really well!!

Fold n zip travel bag from @sewfisticatedsg works as the perfect lunch box! I have celiac disease and really needed a bag that could hold my food as well as items such as utensils, wipes, drink, etc. while on-the-go and this fit the bill! I love the convertible options from crossbody to backpack. It was a labor of love at the end but so worth it. I learned many new skills with this sew as well!
