Here’s how I made my angry feminist shirt…

Oh no - I am so sorry

Listen. I am peri-menopausal, eternally angry, living through the end of the world, everybody is telling me to eat more protein (did you see the egg prices?) and that 🤣 is giving me joy! Do NOT take that away from me!

On Wednesdays* we fight the Patriarchy (I sewed a new shirt with a new transfer design).

*also on all the other days!

It exists: It’s called Fastelavn in Denmark, Fasching in Germany

Part of old sewing machine, now clean!

This old sewing machine was donated to me by a local lady and I just spent 10 minutes cleaning and oiling it and then I tested it. It’s sewing perfectly!

All of this to say you don’t need a new, expensive sewing machine to start sewing!

Just ask in your local buy nothing group!

I am cleaning the sewing space this morning so I can film some sewing content! And you better believe I am putting on a red lip!

The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway.

And those who warned America about it were right.

Karie is right.
Yesterday I made this - a hat for someone I am looking forward to knowing.
What are you making to stay sane these days?

Do you know what a Sewing Salon is?

For me, it’s a sewing group where you hang out on Wednesday evenings or on Saturdays and get expert guidance, plenty of inspiration and a lot of community and support for your sewing projects!

Hi! I am Maria from Sewing Life and I teach sewing and other textile arts online and in person in NJ/PA/NY

So Hi! New social platform people!

I sew, knit and crochet -and other textile arts 🧶🪡🧵- and teach it to both online (courses, patterns) and in person (mainly in NJ/ NY/PA) in the “let’s fight the patriarchy and be more sustainable” way - not in the “trad-wife” way!
