For now you can find lots of sewing and quilting projects on my YouTube channel
You have the sewing machine. I have the projects & tutorials.
Let's have fun sewing & quilting together!
Are you TIRED of 👇🏻
sewing and quilting tutorials that take too long to get to the point, leaving you confused and disheartened?
wading through pop-up ads trying to see blog post content?
saving ideas on Pinterest that you never get around to making?
Not to Mention...
Do you struggle choosing fabrics that go together and get stuck?
Do you want to make anything but clothes? (Good - I don’t do clothing!)

Projects & Patterns Organized by Theme
Organization is key when there is a lot to choose from! Projects are organized and cross-referenced by theme.
Want to make something for your dog? Head to the "Sewing for Dogs" module for bandanas, leashes, poop bag holders, dog bone shaped stocking holders and more.
Invited to a baby shower or new baby joining the family? You will find bibs, hooded towels and more in the "Sewing for Baby" section.
Sewing for the Holidays? There are lots of festive ideas for both Christmas and Hanukkah.
Something for everyone - With 17 categories and counting there is always something to find and make for the kitchen, kids, quilting, quick and easy projects and more.
Quilting, Quilt Blocks & Quilt Patterns
Quilting Basics: If you have never quilted before you will learn the basics so you can shorten your learning curve and have success more quickly than on your own.
Quilt Blocks: There is an ever-growing library of quilt block patterns and tutorials that you can use in small projects, table runners, quilts and more.
Quilt Patterns: Quilt patterns are being added regularly too. From patterns designed to be used with fabric panels, traditionally pieced quilts and more.
$300 value
Sewing with Cricut
SVG files for patterns: If you have a Cricut Maker or other cutting machine that can cut fabric you can save time letting your machine do the cutting so you can get sewing!
Sewing & Quilting SVG Sayings: Make yourself some swag - from shirts, to car decals and personalization you can add to the projects you sew. I've included the sewing and quilting themed SVG files from my craft Etsy shop for members to use anytime.
How to use your Cricut with fabric: Have a machine but not sure how to use it to cut fabric (or if it's worth the effort?) There are tutorials for that! (and yes - it's worth it!)

Join Tara's membership!! The membership hub is so organized and all of the project directions and files are there. A wealth of great info. So professionally done.
- Marina V.
Tara's membership site has so many amazing things and it is just getting better and better all the time. Even as an intermediate sewer, I'm finding her site useful as I still have a lot of holes and learning curves.

Now Just Imagine For A Second...
How wonderful it will be to have access to projects you can do in a variety of time frames - from 20 minutes to a few days, you decide!
Having a community of people who also love to sew that you can connect with, share successes, ask questions and more.
How convenient it will be to have a library of short videos covering specific topics so you can get in, get out and get sewing!
How great it will be to have access to lots of patterns and tutorials without having to buy them individually - just pick and sew!
How rewarding it will be when you see the love, appreciation (and sometimes astonishment!) when you give someone an item you made yourself.
How amazing it will be when you sell things you sew for real money!

Still not sure? 🤔
Here are Answers to some of our most Frequently Asked Questions
🧵 Do I get access to all of the program content as soon as I join?
Yes, you unlock it ALL as soon as you join! Remember - this is a ground floor opportunity and I'm just getting started. There are already so many sewing and quilting projects for you to start with and more are added all the time.
🧵 What kind of projects are included?
I focus on stash-friendly sewing projects, home decor and quilting. This is not a program to learn to sew your own clothes.
👩🏻💻 Are you sure I can learn to sew or quilt online? I feel like I need in-person classes…
In-person classes can be great - if they are in your area, fit your schedule, teach what you want to learn and fit your budget. With the Sew with Tara Reed membership, you have access to a wide variety of projects you can work on any time of the day or night, from anywhere you have internet access.
Watch videos, pause when you need to, re-watch sections that are giving you grief, and move at your own pace.
🎬 Is this the same content that you share on your YouTube channel and blog?
Many of the projects are on my blog and YouTube channel but you get it all without any ads on our member site or blog post — the ads are even removed from our videos if you watch them from within the member area!
Additionally, there will be projects and files in the membership that do NOT appear on the blog or channel at all.
📤 How often do you add new tutorials, cheat sheets and more to the membership?
I promise a new tutorial at least once a month but in reality I'll probably add more than that each month. Each time there is a new workshop in your member area, we will notify you through the dashboard, via email, and through the group!
🤑 Is this a free or paid program?
This is a paid program, but it is not expensive — we are running a special to join for $25/month or $250/year. You get to keep that price as long as you stay enrolled in the membership. (The regular price will be $39/month or $390/year.)
When you sign up for a yearly membership you pay less and get more! You get 2 months free AND when you sign up, you get some of the fabric I design that is manufactured by Riley Blake Designs. More details on that below...
🗓️ When does it start?
As soon as you join! This is a self-paced program that you can access at any time you wish, re-visit whenever you want, re-play videos on demand and re-download files and cheat sheets as needed. Remember tho, this special discount is limited, so if you want in on the Founding Member pricing, sign up today.
🏷️ Will the price go up later?
YOUR PRICE will never increase as long as you remain a member. If you cancel your membership the price to rejoin may be different.
👩🏻💻 Can I cancel or quit at any time?
You can cancel your membership at any time and not be billed in the future.
We don’t offer refunds to avoid people joining, downloading everything and then canceling to get their money back. (Sad but true - it happens!)
I get it!
Hi! I'm Tara Reed, an artist and fabric designer for Riley Blake Designs.
I love to sew but like so many others, I have a lot going on in my life. I see people whipping up king size quilts in what feels like days and think, "There is NO WAY I'd ever get that done!" AND I don't want a project that takes a year to complete.
Luckily - there are lots of quick projects you can do and have lots of fun! So whether you are sewing for fun, to make heartfelt gifts or to earn some extra cash, I can help get you started in the right direction!
