When I first got my hands on this planner I was so excited. My sewsister and new #ProjectSew sewing instructor Yamia Green of @Lesfleurstyle designed it. We both talk often and we were talking about planners and staying more organized with our sewing. We both would piece together pages from here and there and sheets that we thought worked, however it was a hodgepodge of organizational sheets that didn’t have no real purpose and didn’t keep me organized.
A few months after our conversation, she calls me so excited! “Monica I finished my planner!!” I say “Planner …what planner?” She immediately sends me a text message with pictures and then I start screaming “YOU FINISHED THE PLANNER!!”
Since I am so excited about this great planner, I also want you to join in on my excitement. I am offering one lucky follower the planner and swatch book.

This planner would be the perfect addition to my sewing gear. The swatch booklet sounds marvelous because I would have the perfect place to record the fabric types and care instructions of my ever-growing fabric stash. It would be such a memory saver and fabric inventory keeper.

Hello Monica, thanks for offering this beautiful planner as a give away. I’m in need of this to help with my sewing plans. I often get overwhelmed with what to sew next and want to learn how to create my own line art. This would be a great tool to have in my sewing toolkit. Thanks for sharing!
Thelma says
What a great giveaway! I need a planner like this to help me organize my sewing projects. I have a large fabric and pattern stash which sometimes causes me to be indecisive when planning which colors to choose. I think this planner will help me to see the material colors and patterns coordinated more easily. I would love to win this. Thanks Monica!
Elizabeth Keyes says
I just recently stepped out on faith following my dreams and quit my FT job to start my own clothing business. This book would help me so much, I’m still learning body measurements, patterns and different stitching so I would use this book to become better. It would also help me to start making custom clothing , designing them and the swatches 😍😍 that is most definitely needed.
