Tuesday 23 June 2026: I’m so glad to finally get Yvette of Stash Hub on the podcast!!
Stash Hub has quickly become one of the most used sewing apps our sewing community — and at the heart of it is Yvette, a sewist who transformed her own organisational challenges into a powerful digital tool. Her husband Doug, designed Stash Hub to help Yvette manage her fabrics and patterns so she could be happier to keep sewing.
If you’ve ever searched for ways to organise your fabric stash, track sewing patterns, or plan sewing projects more efficiently, Yvette’s story is exactly what sewists are looking for.
🌿 Who Is Yvette?
Yvette is the co‑founder behind Stash Hub, where Doug (her helpful husband) designed this handy app to initially help Yvette catalogue her fabric, manage her patterns, and plan her projects with ease.

🍉SewFruity26 is Yvette as well
This month (June) you might also know Yvette as the SewFruity sewing challenge leader. SewFruity is a month long sewing challenge that at the heart of it is all about fun.
SewFruity is the most colourful sewing challenge on Instagram and began 6 years ago by Yvette.
The easiest way to take part is to find a fabric that is ‘fruity’ and sew something new. Sew clothes, bags, whatever you want to sew using ‘fruity’ fabric.
🌸 SurreySews
Yvette with Melanie Keane help run SurreySews. Surrey Sews is also running SewFizzTeaCated on 17 October. Many online sewing people will be attending SewFizzTeaCated to meet in real life!
