Sis, you won't believe it! We're gearing up for our fifth Sew Much Soul conference, and let me tell you, I am over the moon excited!

We've got the top 10 sewing gurus coming together in our virtual studio from September 8th to 10th. We're gonna be sewing up a storm, making a fabulous 3-tiered skirt, a cute belly bag, a handy wrist pin cushion, and even giving new life to old denim with an upcycled top, honey!

And guess what? It's all absolutely free, right from the comfort of your own home.

Don't you dare miss out on this incredible virtual sewing extravaganza!

For more than 25 years, Carrie has been making dance competition costumes and has won several awards. In 2019, she made costumes for the Morgan State University Marching Band Foxxy Dancers who wore them in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and The Today Show. 

Carrie learned to sew from her grandmother, who was a home economics teacher and sewer. She loves sewing with stretch fabrics and her favorite garment to make is a kimono.

After a successful 30 years in corporate America and a global pandemic, Nikki decided to return to her roots and teach people of all levels how to master the sewing craft. As an 8-year-old child at her grandmother’s knee, she begged her grandma to teach her to sew. My grandmother’s spirit of determination was not going to stop her from teaching me this valuable craft. She followed her dreams and spent a career in the fashion industry in retail, merchandising and sales. She has been taught by some of the top designers in the industry and she wants to share what she has learned over the decades with you.
