Hi, I’m Joan
Your Sewing Guide for Creative Makers
Hello, gorgeous!
Welcome to Break N Remake, a creative guide for plus-size bodies with plus-size personalities who want to learn how to sew their own clothes and kick fast fashion to the curb!
Whether you are a sewing novice or a sewist extraordinaire, Break N Remake is here to remove the intimidation of learning something new and support you on your creative journey to confidence and comfort. Plus, I make sewing FUN as hell!
With over 20 years of experience teaching sewing and working in theater and TV, I realized I wasn’t the only one feeling limited by fast fashion. Honestly, I was sick and tired of feeling like I had to compromise on style and comfort because there weren’t clothes made with my body type and style interests in mind. Can you relate?
Sew… I decided it was time to break down these limitations, put my skills to work, and remake my wardrobe into something I could be proud of! That’s when Break N Remake was born!
Rather than do this just for me (because where’s the fun in that), I want to share my passion for design and teach the art of sewing to YOU so you can feel confident in making clothes you absolutely LOVE!
It’s time to break free from a wardrobe that doesn’t suit you!
Xoxo — Joan
