Sew Pittsburgh

Kelsey founded Sew Pittsburg with the vision of creating a sewing community in the Pittsburgh area. As the Instagram account quickly gained traction, Sarah stepped in to help foster the group's growing sense of community. https://www.instagram.com/sewpgh/

Together, they built a welcoming space for sewists to connect, share inspiration, and support one another.

Their efforts transformed Sew Pittsburg into more than just an online presence—it became a thriving hub for makers, encouraging creativity and friendships.

Through meetups, collaborations, and shared enthusiasm, Kelsey and Sarah have cultivated a vibrant sewing culture, proving that community flourishes when passion meets dedication.

Find out how Discord allows their community to also run regular interest meetups!
