Moms & Grandmas—I need your opinion!

I’m working on some new handmade goodies just in time for Mother’s Day, and I want to make things you’ll actually use every single day

If you could choose ONE personalized item, which would you love most?

Personalized Tote Bag
(“Mom Life,” “Grandma’s Stuff,” or your name )

Travel Jewelry Pouch
(keep your favorites safe + organized on the go)

Glasses/Sunglasses Case
(cute + protective for everyday use)

Car Trash Bag
(because mom cars deserve to be cute AND clean)

👉 Comment your favorite number (1–4) or tell me what YOU would love to see!

Your answers help me create handmade pieces that are not just pretty… but actually make your life easier 💕

After 8 wonderful years, Garner Sewing Room closed its doors last December. That teaching studio meant so much to me — it was where so many kids and beginners learned their first stitches, where friendships formed, and where creativity grew every single week. 🧵

While that chapter has come to an end, my love for sewing and teaching certainly hasn’t.
I’m excited to share that I’m moving forward under a new name:
ShortySewsNC

This change reflects where I am now — continuing to create beginner-friendly sewing kits, cross stitch kits, fabric designs, and patterns, and sharing my projects through videos and Live Sew & Chats on YouTube.

Updating my online profiles from Garner Sewing Room to ShortySewsNC is my way of closing one chapter and starting a new one.
Garner Sewing Room will always be a special part of my story, and I’m so grateful for everyone who supported the studio over the years.

If you learned to sew with me, took a class, or have been following along — I’d love to hear from you 💛

How 🤔 to skive leather without a skiver. When there is a will there is a way. After years of trying hand leather skiving tools, I found what works for me.

I finished the baby quilt I started last week on my live Sew & Chat. I made matching pillows and a quilted envelope pillow. I would love to hear your thoughts on how it turned out.
