Hi, I’m Carmen.
For as long as I can remember, sewing has been my creative outlet. I’ve learned through books, videos, workshops, and plenty of failures along the way.
After more than 20 years as a computer programmer, I bring my love of problem-solving and organisation to sewing, creating tools and resources that help make the creative process easier and more enjoyable.
I’m here to help sewists make time for their projects, build confidence in their skills, and enjoy more of the creative process.
Sew Alongside Other Sewists
Sewing Days is a welcoming community where sewists come together to work on their projects, share progress, and stay motivated.
Connect with other sewists through co-sewing sessions, discussions, and practical resources designed to help you make time for your creative projects.
You’ll find templates, trackers, and planners to support your sewing practice and help you keep creating.

You’ll be amazed at how much more enjoyable sewing becomes with a simple system.
