Welcome to The Sara Project! This is my space for sharing all things sewing. I primarily focus on garment sewing in this space, with a few other fun things popping up here and there. Join me in pattern reviews and sewing tips! Happy sewing!
Hello,
I’m Sara.
I’m just a girl who loves to sew! I studied clothing construction at BYU, and loved every minute of it. I started sewing my own wardrobe shortly after my second child was born back in 2015, and I haven’t looked back since. Sewing is my outlet for creativity, and mindfulness amidst the craziness of life and raising my 4 kiddos.
