Hi, I'm Lisa

the hostess of the Sew with Confidence Podcast and the owner and designer behind Pink Hollybush Designs, a line of sewing patterns for children’s garments.

 

I have been sewing since I was a little girl and my background is in smocking and heirloom sewing. I’ve had my share of sewing fails - garments that didn’t fit, choosing the wrong fabric, and sewing pieces that just weren’t my style or appropriate for my life. I hate the thought of the time and money that has been wasted.

 

Through trial and error, along with many sewing classes, I have figured out how to sew with confidence. I discovered that choosing the right fabric and sewing techniques can make all the difference between a garment looking homemade or being one that you're proud  to wear.  

 

Come join me and let me help you confidently sew clothes you love to wear.

​Happy Sewing,

Lisa

Lisa, my favorite neck finishing is your finishing when the V crosses over in the front. Thank goodness for your videos. I go to them every time I am working on knits.
