I'm Chelsea, the creator of Sew Simple Home. I am a wife, mother of 3 and an avid seamstress. I enjoy all things domestic, which is why I graduated with a degree in Family Consumer Science (aka Home Economics).
I LOVE to teach and especially love to teach others to sew. I've taught both beginner sewing and fashion design for 8 years in public school, and have taught countless children, youth and adults for the past 7 years from my home.
Here at Sew Simple Home I combine my love of teaching with my love of creating in hopes of inspiring others to sew, cook and create for their own home and family.
I share quick sewing and crafting projects, family friendly recipes and organizing tips to help guide busy parents on how to manage their home effectively and use their creativity to accomplish it.
I often found that the skills I taught my high school students everyday didn’t translate back into my own home. You know like cooking, sewing, crafting, cleaning, folding laundry (eck…I hate this one) and organizing. I didn’t think that was right.
I figured if I was accountable to someone (other than myself) I might actually get something accomplished. Boy was I right!!!
