Cinderella really did say it best ✨️

"No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing. The dream that you wish will come true."

Even during the deepest part of my grief I started over with my kids. Got myself into a healthy routine where my body feels strong, good and young! Find self love.
Fall in love.

And tomorrow I start my new job... my DREAM JOB!!!

Last Friday I lost my #1 fan.

Anyone who knows me or knew my dad knows the amazing supportive relationship we had. My dad always told me that I was destined for great things and that I am a bird that cannot be caged. 🐦

Well now you are the free bird dad. Two years of fighting cancer and you took your final flight. Live beyond this world pain free and watch over all of us. You were and always will be the "Ray"s of sunshine in my life 🌞 even on a cloudy day 🌤

I will go on living my life to the fullest like I promised you. No one will ever stand in my way... especially me. You taught me that. When life is short and fleeting every day counts. So I will continue to...

Be BRAVE
Be BOLD
Be INSPIRING
Be HAPPY
BE ME 🥰

This song is for you Dad. I know how much you loved to hear me sing and how much you wanted me to share it with the world
Let my authentic singing voice (just the way you taught me) reach you wherever you are. 🎶

Until we meet again,

I love you Daddykins 🩷

Meet Pam — the newest instructor joining the Make It Sew team! ✂️🧵

Many of you know Pam as one of Brittany’s students, and now she’s stepping into the classroom to teach her very own workshop: Learn to Sew: Pants with Pam 👖✨

Pam first learned to sew from her grandma, who taught her the fundamentals and inspired her love for creating by hand. In recent years, creators on TikTok and online sewing communities reignited her passion for sewing, especially upcycling and working with thrifted materials.

She believes sewing is both a creative outlet and a way to live more sustainably, and she’s excited to help others create garments that are functional, comfortable, stylish, and uniquely their own.

We are so proud to watch one of our students grow into an instructor and share her passion with our sewing community. 💛

Well guys, I’m doing it again for the 3rd time — competing in the Rumor’s Funniest Person with a Day Job competition! 🎤😂...

Thank you so much to the Laureate Academy for having us out to teach 17 Grade 9 and 10 students how to sew some silly geese! They were patient, fun, creative, and so ready to learn. The students and I had sew much fun, and I can’t wait to come back and teach more workshops in the future.

I’m absolutely blown away by their creativity and enthusiasm. A huge thank you as well to the amazing staff for being so welcoming and for all the extra helping hands throughout the day.

Moments like these remind me that dreams really do come true 🪿🧵✨

What an amazing day yesterday! Thank you to the Louis Riel School Division for inviting Make It Sew out to your Land Based Learning Community Event.

Over 600 kids made their way through The Forks and all the incredible booths, learning, creating, and connecting with community. Our booth focused on sustainability through sewing, where students from Grades 4–12 learned basic hand-sewing techniques by creating their own little pocket monsters.

Sorry not sorry… our booth was a popular one! Mission complete 💚🪡

A huge thank you to my partner Heather — I couldn’t have done it without you!

Have you joined in the fun that Winnipeg has been raving about? ✨

Our Upcycle Blanket Coat Workshop has been a fan favourite for months — and by popular demand, we brought it back! 🧥♻️

Now we only have ONE spot left… and it could be yours.

There’s something so special about creating sustainable fashion with your own hands. Upcycling keeps textiles out of landfills, helps our planet, and leaves you with a one-of-a-kind coat you’ll be proud to wear. Honestly… it’s a win win. 🌎💚

Join us next weekend and see why everyone is obsessed with this workshop. Don’t wait — that last spot won’t last long!
