Hi, I'm Toni! Welcome to Sew Sew Lounge! I teach sewists basic sewing techniques to build skills and grow. Learn to sew one pattern at a time.

I started sewing in college when I majored in Textile & Apparel Design.  There were years of sewing disasters and embarrassing low grades.  Learning to sew was a long process of trial and error...LOTS of errors...and seam ripping!  But after all that I can now sit down and sew commercial patterns and ones I’ve designed myself.

At Sew Sew Lounge, you'll find step-by-step beginner sewing techniques, tips, and all the info you need to start sewing and lay the groundwork to sew whatever you want!
