    All Levels Welcome

    A Few Fun Skills You'll Walk Away With.

    New to some of these? That's okay! I'll explain every term as we go, and I'll stitch right along with you.

    1

    Freestanding Lace Technique

    Designs stitched with no fabric, so the finished piece stands on its own. It's how we make the snowflake earrings.

    2

    Reverse Appliqué

    Layers of fabric are stitched together, then cut away to reveal color and sparkle underneath. Works on any top or sweatshirt.

    3

    Fully Finished Ornaments

    Double-sided, with a clean front and back and no raw edges. Ready to hang or give.

    From My Stitching Friends

    You're in Good Company.

    Everyone had a blast at Stitchmas last year, and I can't wait to do it all again with you.

    I've learned that I'm often my biggest critic and not to over think the results.

    I found a family that motivated, supported and encouraged you to just try it.

    The stitch-along classes were the best in my book and were done with no judgement.

    Alexis smiling at her multi-needle embroidery machine that's me!
    Hi, I'm Alexis

    Your Friend at the Next Machine Over.

    My mom taught me to sew when I was a toddler. I set it aside in high school, and machine embroidery is what brought me back. It started as a hobby, stitching gifts for family, friends, and coworkers. In 2010 I started Sew Sweet Monogramming, and I traded my scrubs (I was a Physical Therapist Assistant) for a ring light in 2019 when I opened Sew Sweet Academy.

    Today I run Sew Sweet Academy, an online community where I've taught thousands of home-based machine embroiderers how to make projects they're proud of, one step at a time. I'm a Brother Educator, and I'm so excited to stitch with you.

    It doesn't have to be perfect…
    but it has to be pretty!

    Good Questions

    Before You Join

    Do I Need to Be an Expert?

    Not at all. Stitchmas Day is for home-based machine embroiderers of all levels. I'll explain every term and stitch right along with you.

    Does My Ticket Include a Kit?

    No. The $68 ticket is for Stitchmas Day only. You can add a kit for $29 when you enroll, or use supplies you already have. You’ll get the full material and shopping list right after you enroll.

    What Machine Do I Need?

    All of the designs work with any embroidery machine that accepts common file types (PES, DST, EXP, and more). If you have a question about your machine, I’m here to help guide you.

    What if I Can't Be There Live?

    Yes! Your ticket includes a 30-day replay as a bonus, so you can catch up or stitch along again on your own time. The 30 days start on Dec 6. After that, the replay is only available to Sew Sweet Academy members.

    When Do Kits Ship?

    Kit orders close Nov 27 at 11:59 PM ET. Kits ship to US addresses only, and they’re mailed straight to your home through USPS at standard shipping time.

    When Does Enrollment Close?

    Nov 27 at 11:59 PM ET.

    What's Your Refund Policy?

    Because Stitchmas Day is a digital event, all sales are final.

    I Have Another Question.

    Send it to me at [email protected] and I'll get back to you.

    Day Projects = Stitchmas 2026!!
