Learning to Be in the Moment
I’d like to talk a little about how I named my business Sew Listen Here. It’s easy to remember (and spell!), yes, but also it says something about how I try to approach life. Hopefully, you’ve visited my blog before. If this is your first visit, welcome! =) This space will always be a mixture… Continue reading Learning to Be in the Moment
On the Road Again
What’s a girl to do when she finds a sweet little Scamp camper from 1984? Update it, of course! Oh, and nickname it Marshmallow. Marilene and Brian are 2 of the nicest people you could ever meet. Marilene is a massage therapist and Brian an electrician. They live almost off the grid in a most… Continue reading On the Road Again

He had been trying to find someone who would create a quilt using what could be salvaged from a quilt that was very special to his wife. He… Continue reading The Fabric of Our Lives

She wanted to… Continue reading Teddy Bears to Remember Mom

A t-shirt quilt is a perfect way to keep your memories close instead of hiding them away in the garage for “someday”. I’ve known Chancellor for almost 20 years. She… Continue reading All Things Outdoors
About Me
Hello! I’m Stephanie =) My mom taught me to sew the summer I was 12, as her mom taught her, and so on. I’ve always been fascinated with engaging in a process where a piece of fabric is made into something new. This new thing can cover something, send a message, save a memory or… Continue reading About Me
