Hey there! I found you on Map the Sewintists (sorry if that's creepy). I'm looking to start a NYC sewing circle- some skilled hobbyists to help each other new learn things and navigate the garment district with. Maybe even have a sew-in or two. If you're interested, please email me:
My name is Amanda Young. I'm one of the producers working on the new American version of "The Sewing Bee." I just spoke with Suzanne and she mentioned you might be interested in applying. I think you should! I think you would be great and she said so too. Let me know if you want to apply! You can contact me at amanda.young@loveproductionsusa.com
