I’m Tami, a Clinical Laboratory Scientist by profession and a passionate sewing enthusiast by heart. While my career has been rooted in healthcare, I’ve discovered a deep love for sewing—a creative escape that quickly became an essential part of my life. What started as making masks during a challenging time has now blossomed into a journey of bringing vintage sewing patterns to life and embracing sustainable fashion. Based in New York, I launched Sewn by Tami on Instagram to share my early sewing projects, and it wasn’t long before this hobby grew into a full-fledged passion. This blog is where I document my creative process, offering insights into the art of sewing, sustainable fashion, and the joy of turning fabric into something truly unique.

Sewing began as a way to unwind from the demands of healthcare, but it has evolved into so much more—a form of self-expression that I’m continually exploring. As my skills have grown, so has my commitment to sustainability. I’m driven by the desire to craft garments that not only tell a story but also respect our planet. The more I learn about the impact of fast fashion, the more dedicated I become to making conscious, responsible choices in my sewing and fashion practices.

On Sewn by Tami, you’ll find a blend of sewing projects, sustainable fashion tips, and a glimpse into my creative journey. I’m passionate about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with fabric and thread, whether it’s upcycling old garments or venturing into the world of
original design (still a work in progress!). And yes, I have a slight obsession with vintage sewing patterns, which you’ll see sprinkled throughout the blog. If you’re curious about my daily life and behind-the-scenes moments, be sure to follow me on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, where I share everything from my latest projects to everyday adventures.

If you’re new here, welcome! I’m thrilled to have you here and can’t wait to share my passion for sewing with you.
