Nice to meet you!

Welcome to Busy Mama Sews! 

My name is Nici, and I have been married to my wonderful husband for almost 8 years. We have 4 kiddos, a 10 year old girl, 6 year old boy, and 18 month old boy/girl twins. They are the ones who keep me busy, and also are the reason I learned to sew!


I started sewing in November when my mom bought me a sewing machine for an early Christmas present. I have been hooked ever since! 

My first project was a free hoodie pattern out of remnant fleece for baby girl. It took me forever, and was far from perfect, but I MADE SOMETHING! I proceeded to sew up Christmas gifts for my whole family. Since then I have made almost an entire wardrobe for myself and all 4 kids. 


A few of my favorites I made for presents.








So far I have stuck to PDF patterns since store bought patterns scare me. A few of my favorites are Made for MermaidsPatterns for PiratesStitch Upon a Time, and Max and Meena.

I am hoping you will join me on some sewing adventures as I try new patterns, mash up patterns, and make up a few of my favorites. You will see how easy sewing really is, and proof that you can do it too! I still consider myself as a beginner, but I am constantly improving and learning new skills. WE can do this TOGETHER!

Sounds like nap time is over! Tomorrow I will post some of my favorite projects thus far!
