Welcome to the Create and Sew Blog - Your happy place for sewing inspiration.

Hello and welcome! I’m Dawn – the face behind Create and Sew Studio here in Chorley, Lancashire.

Whether you’re completely new to sewing or a seasoned stitcher, this blog is here to inspire, guide, and encourage you to create beautiful things with confidence and joy.

At Create and Sew, we believe sewing isn’t just a skill — it’s a form of therapy, a way to slow down, focus your mind, and do something that makes you happy. Our studio has become a ‘happy place’ for me and it is great to hear many of our lovely customers say the same, and I hope this blog can be a little online extension of that.

What You Can Expect

Here on the blog, I’ll be sharing:

• Tips and tricks to help with common sewing challenges

• Beginner-friendly projects you can try at home

• Behind-the-scenes peeks at what’s happening in the studio

• Class updates and seasonal inspiration

• Stories from our community – because your makes deserve a spotlight!

Let's Sew Together
