Mommy Can Sew

Mommy Can Sew Fun personalized goods to encourage imaginative play and creativity in children Hi everyone. My name is Julia. I come from a family of sewers.

I am an architect by trade, and a self-defined sewist, daring DIYer, obsessive crafter, entrepreneur, designer, power tool addict, mother, daughter, wife, and above all, woman. I am also an Argentine voluntarily exiled to Thunder Bay (who hasn't fallen in love with a guy from across the world?). I am the very proud owner and operator of Mommy Can Sew, where I design and make all sorts of products

for babies, children and new parents. You can find my products through my Etsy shop and/or through my page “Mommy Can Sew”. You can also learn more about my creative adventures through my Instagram

A little story about how it all started:
I've always loved crafting. My grandpa was a taylor, my mom and aunts have always made the clothes for them and their children. So it was only natural that I would follow on their footsteps. When I got pregnant I started knitting clothes and blankets in anticipation for the new arrival. And once she was born I dipped my toes into the wonderful world of sewing, making toys and blankets that she could play (and nap) with. Soon enough I found myself making her dresses, shoes, bibs, more toys, and finally, carriers. And suddenly something amazing happened. Other moms started asking me if I could make things for them and their little ones. Strangers were encouraging me to create beautiful things! So I opened this shop where I can share the products that I make, and perhaps entice you to own one of them. ;)

I was just at the fabric store and they asked me if I was working on a specific project... which is silly because every sewist knows that there's NEVER just one project you're working on. And on that note... I just made a thing... I call it "a pouf". All made with fabrics and zippers I already had, and stuffed with all the fabric and thread scraps that I always save for this purpose only.

And then I had to pretend that I'm chill enough to sit for a while because my daughter didn't want to be in the photo. 🤪

It's and I just made myself a sweatshirt... right on time for the hot weather to start 🤦‍♀️🫠
Made entirely from small pieces of sweater knits I've been collecting and other things from my stash ( ).
Best part? It has pockets!! 🙌
Worst part? The pattern is vintage 1993... and that was 32 years ago. 😵👵🏼


Last photo was my inspo.
