I’m Teresa Coates and I’m here to help you fall in love with sewing.

As a sewing educator, quilt maker, travel writer, pattern designer and relentless adventurer, I stay busy and inspired. I design sewing and quilting patterns with beginners in mind and bridge the divide between sewing and quilting.

For four years, I was the host of Sew Together Tuesday, a live, instructional show for Shannon Fabrics. I focused on teaching techniques for working with Cuddle® fabrics in blankets, quilts, stuffed animals, home decor and more.These days I’m designing patterns for Crinkle Dreams, teaching quilted clothing workshops at events across the country, and developing the Dream Team Community, an online hub for tutorials, lives and more for makers of all stripes.
