🎉 SAVE THE DATE: October 25–26 at the Sew Whatever Studio 🎉
I’m headed to Sew Whatever for a jam-packed weekend of sewing, style, and serious fun — and YOU are invited!
Here’s what we’ve got cookin’:
👜 Bag Transformations with a Twist
We’re taking the Knot Today pattern and flipping the script! I’ll show you how to modify and elevate it with unique Luv Lola hardware (provided by yours truly). Let’s turn a classic into a whole new vibe. Surprise: it's reversible! The pattern and hardware is included in the price of class.
✂️ Scrap That! Create Your Own Bag Panel
Got scraps? Good. We’re turning them into custom, one-of-a-kind panels using exclusive Luv Lola vinyl I’m bringing just for this event. It’s patchwork magic ✨
💻 Watermark Workshop
Ready to put your stamp on your work—literally? I’ll teach you how to make your own watermark from scratch using my favorite software. You’ll get a 1-on-1 consult and leave with your custom watermark in hand.
🧵 Sewing Purgatory
Got an unfinished bag project giving you side eye? BRING IT. We’re reclaiming those UFOs (unfinished objects, lol) and turning guilt into glory. Or just bring any WIP to enjoy some open sew time.
🧰 Bonus Perks:
✔️ Access to industrial machines (yep, even a cylinder arm!)
✔️ Lunch is included 🍽️
✔️ On-site shopping with More Me Know merch & maybe a little Luv Lola merch surprise! 👀
