Meet Catherine Bell, founder of Sew Simple Sewing
Those midnight moments in my mother’s kitchen, creating together under the soft glow… that’s where it all began.
I fell in love with sewing at the age of 7, sitting quietly next to my mother as she transformed our kitchen into her late-night sewing studio.
From those first stitches to earning my degree in Fashion Design and building connections in New York’s fashion world with brands like Victoria’s Secret, every step led me to what I do today: making sewing accessible, empowering, and joyful for everyone.
At Sew Simple Sewing, my team and I don’t just teach techniques: we share the magic I discovered as a child. Because I truly believe that every person has a unique story waiting to be told…
And while we love teaching you how to sew, we also know that sometimes you just need the job done for you…
