- Sew My Style 2020
- Since starting in 2017, Sew My Style is now one of the longest-running online sewing challenges and is 100% volunteer organized. Each year a new team of bloggers and sewing personalities takes the lead in creating a fun experience for everyone. For 2020, a few changes have been made like the new Instagram hashtag (#sms20) and a new reveal day (the LAST day of each month). This year’s focus is also on size, gender inclusivity and diversity, including partnering with companies who have (or will have later this year) larger size ranges and more unisex and men’s patterns.

Thank you for this podcast! I’ve been wondering for a while now how to get into these challenges. I’m so glad I listened today! I’m signed up now for the #sms2020 and I know this will “force” myself to sew more often as my wardrobe is almost non-existent!
Amazing! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed this episode! ❤️
