A time was had! Thanks to everyone that came to mend, upcycle and learn at Backstitch’s Social Stitches event yesterday. Attendees got super creative with their projects and I was super excited to see how they used the cutoffs and trims available to them. Join us next time!

I have some of the coolest customers. One of my regulars came in with a velvet painting and their favorite jacket. Simple yet effective. Their favorite jacket is now my favorite jacket🤩.

Hey y’all hey! Happy holidays and Happy new year… 2 days in lol! Just a quick post to let you know that after a whirlwind of a year, Workshops are back at Backstitch! We’re going to ease into the year but there will be a later post with exact dates and times. I can confirm that there will be a work shop near the end of January “Basics at Backstitch” (that’s what I’m calling it for now) where you learn general sewing. Then workshops to bring in your own piece to upcycle throughout the year. Hoping to make this a bi monthly thing. TBD. There will also be workshops around Valentine’s Day, the date and time for those will also be posted later. Ok! Sew all the things!

Here’s another AMAZING customer, . She’s does so much and I’m always excited to be apart of her events. The way she tackles life is inspiring and I always feel uplifted when she stops in. These are a few things we’ve made for over the years. Since she’s a type one diabetic we’ve added a lot of pockets to dresses with a little hole for pump access. It’s been eye-opening and educating working with her to create costumes and clothing alterations that increase wearability for persons with medical devices. Again, does all the things and I love it 🥰. I’m such a fan lol!
