Tip Tuesday:
If you’ve been eyeing our newly released Fall Class Schedule but aren’t sure which class suits you best — here’s a quick guide!
From Absolute Beginner (never used a sewing machine) to Advanced (pattern-adapting expert), our skill level guide removes the guesswork from selecting your next class.
Tip: Be honest about your current skill level — choosing the right class will make the experience more enjoyable, decrease frustration, and help you complete a project you’re proud of.
Check out our stories or website for the full schedule and reserve your spot before they’re all gone!

Kim’s Staff Pick
Please join us in officially welcoming Kim M to the OOH Squad!
Kim has been in the industry for 19 years, a creative force for over 25, and brings with her a wealth of knowledge, great energy, and a fresh eye for all things fabric and design. We're thrilled to have her on board—and even more excited for what’s to come, including her fall classes!
For her inaugural staff pick, Kim chose 40 Shades of Grey by Wendy Williams. This stunning sampler is a true skill builder with blocks like courthouse steps, log cabins, flying geese on a curve, and more. She loves how versatile it is—you can set the layout on the diagonal or not, depending on your vibe—and while the pattern pops with colour, it’s just as striking when toned down for a more subdued look.
This community is so happy to have you, Kim!

Patti’s Staff Pick
This week’s staff pick comes from Patti, who’s still riding the high from Ron Collins’ Ultimate Fitting & Sewing Retreat! As a recent graduate of his 3-day class, Patti is nominating Ron himself as her pick of the week, and we fully support it!
She loved the 1:1 support and guidance Ron offered throughout the retreat, and equally loved connecting with other participants and soaking up all the tips, tricks, and expert advice. Best of all? She left with the confidence to continue working on the jacket she’s been putting off for ages (we can’t wait to see it, Patti!).
If you’ve been thinking about joining in, Ron is returning this fall for another Ultimate Fitting & Sewing Retreat in October — and trust us, you won’t want to miss it. Sign up today - there’s one space available!
