Hi, I’m the seam whisperer.
I’m a self taught sewer and seamstress who has become obsessed with sewing! Sewing has so many benefits, including
- save money by tailoring own items
- resize clothes to fit your unique body
- Upcycling old clothes and items to make them new again
- Mend broken clothing and textile goods to give them longer life
- Make homemade gifts that are inexpensive or free
- Sew costumes and toys for your kids!
About Me
I got my first sewing machine for my birthday at age 5 or 6. It was a mini sized, kids sewing machine. Unfortunately I don’t remember what happened to that machine, but I do remember that it sparked a lifelong love of sewing!
I made my first dress at age 8, it was blue with a white lace overlay. Through the years I have experimented with clothing alterations and design, as well as sewing all kinds of household goods.
Clothing alterations remains my passion and I now sew professionally from home for clients who need their clothing altered in almost any way.
For example I sew frequently for a lovely client who is very short and thus finds it difficult to purchase clothing that fits her and is cute. I am so glad to be able to provide this service of shortening gowns, sleeves, and pant lengths for her!
Now I love to sew for my kids and family. Fun fact, most of the time I sew while babywearing!
About The Blog
The seam whisperer was created to share my love of sewing through tips, ideas, and free patterns.
I think sewing is so valuable as well as enjoyable, it was a somewhat lost skill that I’m so glad is becoming popular again! Everyone should learn to sew!
