The Sewlebrity
Taylor is the designer behind Blueprints for Sewing, an architecturally inspired pattern line, and Patchwork Community Craft, a sewing studio and reuse center focused on promoting sustainability and empowerment through sewing.
Taylor is a slow fashion enthusiast and a self professed fiber arts nerd. They have over 14 years of experience teaching people of all ages, body types, genders and abilities to create their own clothing. Taylor is incredibly passionate about teaching and brings their diverse range of experience to each class, from collaborating with artists on fabric sculptures to creating patterns for major fashion brands.
According to Taylor, “teaching sewing was what really got to the source of it all. Helping people sew, to make and design their own clothing, has been and continues to be a rewarding and liberating experience.”
