Make It Sew

Meet Pam — the newest instructor joining the Make It Sew team! ✂️🧵

Many of you know Pam as one of Brittany’s students, and now she’s stepping into the classroom to teach her very own workshop: Learn to Sew: Pants with Pam 👖✨

Pam first learned to sew from her grandma, who taught her the fundamentals and inspired her love for creating by hand. In recent years, creators on TikTok and online sewing communities reignited her passion for sewing, especially upcycling and working with thrifted materials.

She believes sewing is both a creative outlet and a way to live more sustainably, and she’s excited to help others create garments that are functional, comfortable, stylish, and uniquely their own.

We are so proud to watch one of our students grow into an instructor and share her passion with our sewing community. 💛

Well guys, I’m doing it again for the 3rd time — competing in the Rumor’s Funniest Person with a Day Job competition! 🎤😂

📅 Wednesday, July 8
🕢 Show starts at 7:45PM
🚪 Doors open at 6:30PM

If you love my crazy stories during sewing classes, come out and laugh with me (or at me 😅) and maybe this will finally be the year I make it to Round 2!

It should be a really fun night — I’d love to see some familiar faces there!

Thank you so much to the Laureate Academy for having us out to teach 17 Grade 9 and 10 students how to sew some silly geese! They were patient, fun, creative, and so ready to learn. The students and I had sew much fun, and I can’t wait to come back and teach more workshops in the future.

I’m absolutely blown away by their creativity and enthusiasm. A huge thank you as well to the amazing staff for being so welcoming and for all the extra helping hands throughout the day.

Moments like these remind me that dreams really do come true 🪿🧵✨

What an amazing day yesterday! Thank you to the Louis Riel School Division for inviting Make It Sew out to your Land Based Learning Community Event.

Over 600 kids made their way through The Forks and all the incredible booths, learning, creating, and connecting with community. Our booth focused on sustainability through sewing, where students from Grades 4–12 learned basic hand-sewing techniques by creating their own little pocket monsters.

Sorry not sorry… our booth was a popular one! Mission complete 💚🪡

A huge thank you to my partner Heather — I couldn’t have done it without you!
