About Margaret Smith, creator of Let’s Learn To Sew
Meet Margaret E. Smith
Your guide to all things handmade, heartfelt, and beautifully messy.
If it can be cut, stitched, glued, layered, or glittered… you can bet Margaret’s tried it—twice. A lifelong maker with a soft spot for color palettes and cozy textures, Margaret is the creative spirit behind this website, designed especially for crafters who love sewing, patternmaking, and a little bit of everything.
From the satisfying snipping of fabric to the whir of a Cricut blade, her workspace is a happy chaos of fabric bundles, paper scraps, cutouts, and fabric swatches. She believes crafting isn’t just about the finished product—it’s about the joy of the process, the thrill of learning something new, and the pride in saying, “I made that.”
This website is a celebration for creatives like you—whether you’re a seasoned Etsy seller, a weekend DIYer, or someone who just needs to make something with their hands every day. With workshops, tutorials, finished projects, and even digital downloads, it’s built to grow alongside your creative journey.
Margaret’s Motto?
There’s no such thing as too many craft supplies.
Things Margret Loves
Because every great maker has their go-to tools, favorite snacks, and guilty pleasures…
- Favorite Crafting Tool: Sewing machine
- Material She Can’t Resist Buying (Even When She Doesn’t Need It): Pretty fabric
- Go-To Creative Snack: I want to sound healthy, but truthfully, Oreos are my weakness.

- Playlist While Crafting: A mix of country, 90s throwbacks, and medical podcasts (I’m an RN)
- Craft She Keeps Coming Back To: Aprons, I love sewing aprons and skirts.
- Secret Obsession: Organizing her craft room more than she actually crafts (it’s a vibe)
- Dream Project: Turning her workshop ideas into a full-on crafty retreat weekend
- Words She Lives By: “Done is better than perfect… especially when it’s handmade.”
