👋 Hey there, I'm Amelia!

Are you ready to sew something you'll actually want to wear?

I'm a mom of five, a lifelong maker, and the founder of Mother Sews Best, where I help women sew clothing that fits, feels good, and makes them proud.

Sewing used to overwhelm me too- especially knit fabric. But once I learned how to sew it confidently, my whole wardrobe changed... and so did my confidence.

Now I teach simple, step-by-step methods to help you sew clothes you love, even if you've never touched knit fabric before.

Inside Sewing Week, I'll walk you through every step of making your first (or fiftieth!) knit dress using the machine you already have. You don't need a serger. You don't need to be perfect. You just need to start!

🧵 That you can finally sew knit fabric without your machine stretching it out, eating the edges, or making you want to chuck your machine in the garbage.
 
🧵 What stitch settings, needles, and thread actually work for knit fabrics. 
 
🧵 That you didn't just follow a pattern, you adjusted it to fit your body, and the result actually feels good to wear. 
 
🧵 That your skills aren't stuck- you are getting better, and you're proving it with every stitch.
 
🧵 That sewing doesn't have to feel frustrating or lonely anymore; it can feel creative, satisfying, and SO rewarding!
 
🧵 That you finally finished something just for you, and it doesn't look "homemade"... it looks professional and polished and is going to impress all your friends. 😉 
This time, sewing isn't going to end with another half-finished project stuffed in a drawer; it ends with you, standing in front of a mirror, smiling at what you made.
SIGN ME UP!
We've partnered with some of our favorite sewing brands to bring you fun, creative, and seriously swoon-worthy prizes all week long! From fabric bundles to pattern shop credits, these giveaways are our way of cheering you on as you sew!
 

Here are the amazing brands participating:

✨ Winners will be drawn throughout the week- just show up, share your progress in the group, and you're entered!
 

Finishing your dress is a win all on its own... but prizes make it even sweeter!

Don't just take my word for it...
IS THIS YOU?
• I've had knit fabric in my stash forever, but I'm too nervous to actually cut into it.

• I want to sew clothes I'll wear, but everything I make just feels... off.

• I've followed sewing tutorials before, but I still don't feel confident when it comes to fit.

• I'm tired of making things that end up in the back of the closet.
• I struggle with perfectionism and feel frustrated when my sewing doesn't look "right."

• I have a sewing machine, but I'm not totally sure I'm using it the best way.

• I've always wanted to sew my own clothes- but I don't know where to start.

• I'm ready to do something creative just for me.
If any of this feels familiar,
then Sewing Week is for you!
The Nitty Gritty Details!
🗓️ When is Sewing Week?
Sewing Week runs May 11-16, 2025. We'll kick things off with a live call on Sunday evening and wrap up with a celebration on Friday!
 

📍 Where does it happen?
Inside a private Facebook group. That's where you'll find all the daily posts, videos, community support, and giveaways.

🎥 Are the lessons live or pre-recorded?
You'll get a mix of both! Most of the sewing lessons are pre-recorded so you can watch them when it works for you. Any events that are live will be recorded so you can catch a replay when it's convenient for you!

🧵 Do I need a serger?
Nope! I'll show you exactly how to sew knit fabric using the sewing machine you already have.

🎓 Do I need to be experienced?
You don't need to be advanced, but you should know how to thread your machine and use its basic functions. If you're brand new, I recommend going through my mini course, Ready Set Sew, to get prepped.

🧵 What are we making?
The Margo Dress from Sustainable Cloth Co. (Pattern included!) It's comfy, flattering, and beginner-friendly—with some fun skill-builders woven in.

💰 How much does it cost again?
Just $10 for the entire week!

BUT I'M SOOOO BUSY!
Your time is valuable. I've created this week for the busy woman, whether you are a mom or have a full time job that you are working around, this is for you. I know there are 20 other things you could spend your time on, but I can promise this will be worth every second.  
 
If you can devote 30 minutes a day, by the end of the week you'll have a dress you love and skills that will enable you to fill your closet with knit clothes that fit perfectly! 
 
Mother's Day is coming up, so treat this week as a gift to yourself- and ask your family to view your sewing time as part of that gift. It's a chance to grow your skills, spend time doing something that's just for you, and feel proud of what you can create!
So what's included?
You'll get the Margo knit dress pattern in adult and kids sizes (PDF), daily video lessons, access to the private Facebook group, coaching and feedback from our team, and eligibility for prizes during the week!
Do I already need to know how to sew?
Sewing Week is perfect for confident beginners and intermediate sewists who want to feel more confident sewing knit fabrics. If you want a little experience before we get started, the Ready, Set SEW mini course is a great starting point that will quickly get you ready for Sewing Week!
Which version of the pattern are we making?
The Margo pattern has LOTS of options (which you can sew up later, since the pattern is yours to keep!), but during this workshop we'll be sewing the lined, sleeved version. You can choose which length you want, Peplum Top, Knee Length Dress, or Ballerina Length Dress!
How long will I have access to the materials?
The videos will be available until May 20, 2025, but the pattern is yours to keep forever!
When is Sewing Week happening?
The challenge runs May 11–16, 2025. We'll kick off with a live welcome call on Sunday night, and you'll receive new lessons and prompts each day throughout the week!
What does it cost?

Just $10 for the full week, including the pattern ($25 value!!)  and all the lessons.

What if I fall behind?
No problem! You'll have access to the videos for a limited time after the week ends so you can catch up if needed.
Do I need a serger?
Nope! We'll show you how to sew the entire Margo top on a regular sewing machine. A serger is optional, and we'll include tips for both approaches.
What if I can't join live each day?
No problem at all! Daily lessons will be available inside the Facebook Group, so you can watch whenever works for you. All the sessions will be recorded!
Is there support if I get stuck?
Absolutely. Our team is active in the Facebook group throughout the week to answer questions, give feedback, and help you troubleshoot anything that comes up. PLUS we are hosting live Q&A calls to provide extra support!
Where does it take place?
Inside a private Facebook group just for participants. That's where you'll find all the videos, daily prompts, community encouragement, and giveaway details.
How much fabric will I need?
It depends on which length you choose and your size (or your child's size). Here's a list to help you determine how much fabric you need. 
Ready to Sew Something You're Proud Of?
You don't need a fancy machine. You don't need to be perfect.

You just need to show up and trust that something beautiful will come from it.
 
Sewing Week isn't about doing everything right. It's about learning, finishing, and feeling really proud of what you made with your own two hands.
 
For just $10, you'll walk away with new skills, a dress that fits perfectly, and the confidence to keep going.
