Craftapalooza Sew-Alongs

Welcome!

There's something special about sewing alongside other makers.

Whether you're stitching your very first Craftapalooza pattern or you're back for another project, you're in the right place.

Our sew-alongs are relaxed, friendly and designed to help you finish a project one small step at a time. There are no deadlines, no pressure and no falling behind. You can sew at your own pace and dip into the tutorials whenever it suits you.

Each sew-along includes a series of emails packed with tips, photos and short videos to guide you through the project. I'll also share plenty of little tricks I've learned along the way to help make your stitching more enjoyable. You will need the pattern for each sew-along, all linked below.

Choose a project below and let's get stitching.

Throughout the year each there will be live-hosted sew-alongs, to keep up-to-date join the Scrappy Digest newsletter.
