From Pressure to Purpose: Creating a Healthy, Sustainable Life in the Workroom

Experience the joy of sewing with our Online Sewing Classes for Home Décor.

I started my business in June of 2019, and I had so much to learn! I did not have time for a trial-and-error approach. I was very hungry for fabrication and business education. In 2020, Rowley launched a weekly Rowley Connects webinar, where I met Donna. Every week, she was such a positive, happy mentor who made it her mission to find my workroom’s pain points and address them. When I discovered that Donna had created her own platform to share her 30+ years of experience in the workroom, I had to become part of her community. She shares her joy with our group every week, and I am so grateful for Donna’s influence. She is definitely my weekly cheerleader and highlight, and we talk about everything! She always gives me a burst of energy and positivity in my workroom. Donna’s joy is infectious!

Our Online Sewing Classes for Home Décor offer a supportive environment for all skill levels.

“I just had to share with you the pillows I made for a client using the zipper techniques I learned in your workshop. I used the invisible zipper, regular zipper and bound zipper techniques you taught in class. I must say that they look great and I believe I really showed progress on this project. They finished quicker than ever before and no re-dos! Thanks so much for these techniques and I’m looking forward to learning more with you.”

“I contacted Donna for several projects in my home.  With each project, she took the time as I looked through many of the fabric books for ideas. Donna guided me with suggestions of what would look right for each room.  I have been very pleased with her creations, work ethics, and attention to detail.  She has been a pleasure to work with every time.”
