Good morning, makers! 🪡 The atelier is open, the kettle's on (the Yorkshire tea isn't soaking in today), the week is full of possibilities, and I am SO ready to see what this community gets up to over the next seven days. Before you thread your machine, pick up your needle or unroll a single centimetre of fabric, I want to know what's on your table this week. We're doing something a little different from today. This week, we're holding each other accountable. So tell me where you are at: ⟶ What sewing project are you STARTING this week? ⟶ What are you in the middle of and WORKING ON? ⟶ What do you want to COMPLETE before Friday? Drop your answer below, as specific as you like. Not just "a dress" but "the silk organza sleeves that have been staring at me for two weeks" 😄. The more honest and real, the better. We're a community of serious makers, we can handle the truth of the to-do list! I'll be back on Friday to check in and celebrate how far we all got, progress, detours and happy accidents included. —————————————————————————————————— Also… 👀 I have something exciting coming in May. A theme that I think is going to absolutely light this community up, and I genuinely cannot wait to share it with you. Stay close, stay engaged, and keep your eyes on the notice board. The first hint is coming very soon. Happy sewing, Claire Amelia 🪡 Now, tell me what's on your table! ⬇️

This is your moment to shine. ✨ The Studio Wall is the heart of our creative joy, the place where we celebrate everything we make, everything we are dreaming of making & everything in between. No waiting until it's finished. No waiting until it's perfect. This wall belongs to all the sewing you're entwined into. Finished makes you proud. The dress that finally came together after three toiles. The corset that took months & was worth every single stitch. The bridal gown that made someone cry happy tears. The costume that stopped the show. Share it here, you earned this moment. Works in progress keeping you up at night. The half finished bodice pinned to your dress form. The fabric you just cut into with your heart in your mouth. The lining that is giving you grief. Bring it to the wall, we want to see every stage of the journey. Fabric hauls that made your heart sing. We all know the feeling of finding the perfect fabric. The colour that stopped you in your tracks. The silk you couldn't walk away from. The remnant that has no plan yet but had to come home with you. Show us. Mood boards & creative dreams. The collection you are building in your head. The Pinterest board that is becoming something real. The era, the silhouette, the feeling you are chasing. Pin it to the wall and let us dream alongside you. I may show you my costume pinterest feed.. ;-) Studio snapshots that show your world. Your cutting table mid project. Your thread collection. Sewing soft furnishings you’re excited over, oh the joy of filling! The corner of your studio that makes you happy. We want to see where the magic happens. This is a judgement free, joy filled, celebration only space. Every make is welcome here. Every stage is valid. Every creative dream deserves a wall to live on. Come on in, show us what you've got. 🧵 Claire Amelia Founder, The Atelier Hub

Grateful you are here 😃 @Jane Harbison @Debra Verrall Welcome to The Atelier Hub, a group for sewers who are past the basics, wanting to learn, grow and engage in creation. Please introduce yourself on our welcome post > https://www.skool.com/the-ateliers-hub-9961/welcome-to-the-atelier-hub?p=c3376e87 I'm building this group in real time, so please enjoy what this space has to offer now and in our future. I believe something magical is happening and grateful you're here for it. Claire Amelia , your sewing ally & founder🌟

Hello & welcome in. 🧵 I am so grateful you are here. This is a space I have wanted to create for a long time, somewhere that finally feels right for makers like us. A place that doesn't start at the beginning. A place that meets you in the beautiful, complicated middle of this craft we call sewing. Whether you are a dressmaker, a bridal maker, seamstress, a tailor, a corsetiere, an upcycle maker, a costumier, furnishings.. or someone who crosses every single sewing discipline day, this studio is yours. The Atelier Hub was built on one simple belief; that sewers grow best when they grow together. That when we share our knowledge, our discoveries, our creative crises & our wins across every discipline, the whole community becomes richer for it. This is not a teaching space. There are no tutorials here, no step by step guides, no back to basics but we can share our sewing techniques to support growth across our disciplines.. What there is, is a room full of serious, passionate, experienced makers from all over the world, & me standing alongside you as your sewing ally whenever the project gets hard, the client gets difficult or the creative well runs dry. I have been sewing for over 20 years. I am still learning. I suspect you are too. That is exactly why we are all here. Now it's your turn; come & introduce yourself 👇 I'd love to know: 🧵 Your name & where you are in the world ✂️ How long you have been sewing 📌 Your main discipline or the one you are most curious about right now 🌟 One thing you are currently making or dreaming of making There are no wrong answers. There is no judgement in this studio. The studio is open. Welcome to your sewing crew. 🧵 Claire Amelia Founder, The Atelier Hub
