Your days are full of endless to-do lists, work responsibilities, and caring for your family.

All you want is a few minutes when you can be creative, play with your fabric, and make progress on that project you can’t stop thinking about.

You don’t have a dedicated sewing space, and by the time you get your sewing machine set up, you have to clean the table for dinner.

Hi there, I'M NICKI!

And I want to help you make time to sew!

As a retired elementary school teacher and a current online small business owner, I know what it’s like to have a life full of family and work responsibilities leaving little time to spend on yourself.

For much of my adult life, I thought I was too busy and didn’t have time to sew. But that wasn’t the case. It wasn’t that I had too much to do, it was that I THOUGHT there just wasn’t enough time.

I decided to make some changes to the way I approached sewing, and it didn’t take long before I was able to sew on a regular basis.

You can experience this transformation, too. Let me show you how to plan, organize and put in place the same time-saving elements I use so you can get more sewing time in your life.

Hear from Sew Productive Starter Kit Students

"I taught myself how to sew when I was in junior high school.  But over the past decades, I felt I only had time for hemming some curtains every now and then.  You give such great tips and so much advice on how to make time in our busy lives for our sewing projects and I know I can apply that same advice to other creative projects too! Thank you so much for this course, Nicki!"

I'm excited about the easy-to-follow steps. What has been really helpful is the lesson on setting up your space. It has really made me think about storage AND cleaning up and out. It's only been a week since completing the course, and I made the decision to work a bit after dinner. So instead of sitting with my feet up, I am working on cutting my scraps. I have lots, but less than last week. Thank you for putting this [course] together in a very friendly way.

This mini-course has lots of good information and excellent handouts. My favorite things were the lessons on structure for organizing time and space to be more effective/efficient with my sewing. It's a great course, and there are so many of us doing the best we can, but floundering. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to put this together!

I just never seem to get started, but this [course] will help. What's helpful is breaking things up into doable parts. The next time, I hear "I never get around to my sewing," I will have this [course] to suggest.
