Sew Trendy For Teens

Sew Trendy is brought to you by the home sewing Association and is a great starting point for your sewing teen.

The Sew Trendy program involves select high schools and their communities in a year long sewing and design project. Teens create or embellish a sewn item from either the fashion or home dÃ©cor arenas. Then individual submissions will be judged and awarded in a Scholastic Style Show.
It is also a great site for individual Teens as there are some fun sewing projects. They have easy to follow instructions and the site is aimed at Teens making it fun and funky in appearance.

I have a problem. Well, several problems, but today we’re talking about the 37 yards of fabric currently taking up residence in my closet. Some of it’s been there so long it could legally vote. That beautiful linen? Bought for a specific project in 2018. The designer wool? “Too nice to cut.” The rainbow of quilting cotton? Well, it was on sale.

Every time I open that closet, I swear the fabric whispers, “Remember when you were going to make that dress?” The guilt is real. But so is the joy of petting my hoard like a fabric dragon sitting on her treasure.

Last week I tried the KonMari method. I got as far as “does this spark joy?” before buying three more yards of floral voile. Some habits die hard.
