Finding the strength again

November 08, 2025•2 min read

Hi sewists,

I'm being pulled in so many directions these days that it's difficult to just stop and take a moment to write it all down. On one hand I'm happier than I've been in many years, living in the city I've wanted to move to for a very long time and my family is happy and healthy. On the other, we have to move for the second time in 2 weeks, so we're packing up yet again.

I really wanted to finally settle in this house and finally work on all the projects and courses I've had on the go for a very long time now. But this beautiful house is going up for sale and we have to move to another house that isn't too far away. It's actually in the same complex and the same layout, just down the road. So there's a little silver lining there.

So here's what I've got planned so far:

Move into the new house in 2 weeks - set up the sewing room and finally start sewing again! I've barely made anything for over 6 months!
Finally relaunch the pattern making course with all the new adjustments. Thanks to everyone who sent me your feedback! I hope you like this new version.
I've got a little side project I'm working on to showcase my product design and tech pack skills that I can't wait to share with you all. It's a full package set up for a friend's business and I'm working on creating a full tutorial series on the soft product design and sampling process for businesses. This is part of my Bespoke Stitchery business that I haven't really shared much about because it was custom for each business. This time I'll be able to show you everything that goes into setting it all up.

I have an entire wardrobe to pattern for both myself and my son so I really need to get back in the sewing room! Soooooooon!

Your Tailored Patterns need inspiration! Here is a representation of the designs I plan on creating for my pattern making course

This is a little teaser os the styles of garments I will be patterning in the Your Tailored Patterns course and I can't wait to show you how I turn these photos into usable patterns.

So for now, I will be packing yet again and get everything ready for the move. I promise I will be coming back to socials again very soon.

Andi xoxo
