LaShuan is an executive who is also a nurse & an attorney by trade, but her focus for this blog is to share her journey of achieving self care & balance through sewing.
What began as an effort to explore ways to decompress doing something she loved slowly transformed into exploring ways to weave in her ability to teach all that she has learned as a beginner sewist; all while reviewing patterns, learning new sewing techniques, attending fashion shows, conducting live sew alongs, talking to other sewists about their journey & much more. The goal is share knowledge, teach & inspire other sewists.

Selected to be featured in the Feb 2024 Issue of Sewn Magazine, this issue highlights the experience of working with a professional photographer & on the day of the photoshoot!

Have you ever been a pattern tester? What is it? What do you do? What's the process? Well I just finished my second experience pattern testing & Im talking all about!

Have you ever been inspired to sew something, not based on the commercial pattern picture but based on seeing someone else make the pattern? Hmmm... there is something to that whole concept. Lets talk about it!

One Frocktails? Two Frocktails? Three Frocktails? More.... I went to my first two frocktails events this year... BUT first, what is a frocktail? How were the events I attended? Will I be attending any more? Listen & find out!

Its been a few months but your girl has been booked & busy... as they say in the acting world! I am no actor but busy none the less. Im checking in to let you know all the things I have been doing over the last few month & to re-commit to haring the deets on a day in the life of a beginner/ budding sewist!

You heard the trailer.. now lets get into the deets! Who is LaShuan Michelle? Why did I get into sewing? Why do I love it? What do I bring to the table?

Reflecting back on my first sewing experience, acknowledging the many lessons learned (selecting correct pattern sizes, understanding pattern instructions, etc) & celebrating the wins!
