MEET YOUR HOST
International Online Sewing Educator… and Fabric Fanatic, Megan!
Almost three decades ago, I picked up my first needle and thread, sparking a lifelong passion for sewing that transcended from a personal hobby to a shared experience. In 2022, I took a bold step and launched Sew & Tell Australia, channeling years of accumulated knowledge and enthusiasm into a platform that empowers sewists globally.
Since launching, I’ve transformed traditional sewing lessons into dynamic online courses, connecting with thousands of creative minds across the world. This shift to digital has not only broadened our community but has also enriched the learning experience, allowing us to share a diverse range of techniques and inspirations.
This event is designed to facilitate meaningful connections and conversations, providing a rich environment for both presenters and participants to explore new ideas and celebrate the craft of sewing.
Let’s collaborate to make this expo a landmark event that not only educates but also excites and unites sewists around the world.
