How Sew Woodsy Started

During the summer of 2010, my husband and I purchased our first home. We didn’t have much money, but had a passion for DIY projects. We were on a mission to make our builder grade home look custom on a shoe string budget.

The spark that ignited our blogging journey was born out of a simple desire. Friends and family, curious about our ongoing projects, were a constant presence, seeking updates on our latest endeavors. Realizing that our passion could be a source of inspiration for others, we hatched the idea to create a DIY blog. Our aim was clear: regular updates on our projects, a treasure trove of tutorials, and a platform to share innovative ideas for enhancing homes, all while fostering a sense of togetherness and creativity.

Our aspiration was straightforward yet profound – to empower others to transform their living spaces into personalized havens, all without breaking the bank. We envisioned a space where anyone could access affordable and accessible ways to infuse their homes with character and warmth, turning a house into a true sanctuary.

As the years flowed by, life took its course. The arrival of our children and the acquisition of a construction business reshaped the focus of our blog, Sew Woodsy. Gradually, it evolved into a canvas where I predominantly share crafts, select home DIY projects, tales of our travels, and free downloadable printables.

While my husband no longer joins me on this blogging adventure, our past DIY projects are still available for the world to get inspiration from, and the essence of our beginnings continues to inspire every post. Our story, once centered around two DIY enthusiasts, now flourishes as a testament to growth, adaptability, and the ever-changing tapestry of life.
