Tuesday 20 May 2025: You can start your local sewing community just like Kelsey and Sarah are in 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.

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

Their efforts transformed Sew Pittsburgh 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 has helped their community create special interest meet ups too.
