Let's Sew a fun Jumper Together!

With May Garden, It's Easy, I promise!

  • Have you been afraid to sew with knits?

  • Would you like to sew a knit dress but have been unsure where to start?

  • Are you not sure which knit to pick?

  • Would you like some encouragement and help along the way?

Then join us for the month of August in the May Garden Workshop as together we sew this simple jumper. I will walk you step by step through the process!

Let's Get Creative as together we sew May Garden over the next 30 days!

- May Garden is the perfect summer dress - sleeveless for hot summer days,  sized to sit close enough to the body to be worn sleeveless, there is also ample room to add a t-shirt or turtleneck as we transition into fall. you have wanted to try sewing with knits but have been hesitant to try, here is your chance! May Garden is a great knit dress to start with. Your little girl can just throw it on and go, there are no fastenings. And of course, there are pockets for all her treasures!​ Smock it if you wish, or simply gather the skirt for a quickly sewn knit dress. 

 - you will receive access to the introductory videos upon enrollment in the workshop to begin gathering your supplies. Following the zoom call on the 31st you will have access to the construction videos. I provide a suggested timeline for the workshop, but you can go at your own pace. 

-We will get started with a Zoom kickoff on  July 31st at 7p.m. eastern time, where you can meet each other, get any questions answered about materials, sewing with knits, or the May Garden pattern in general. 

 - There are 11 videos showing each aspect of constructing the May Garden dress along with a bonus video showing how to do a contrasting neckline. Instructions on how to smock are not included. You retain access to the workshop for the lifetime of Pink Hollybush.

- Join the private chat group, hosted on my website  where you can get your questions answered (I will be checking it daily) and interact with your fellow stitching friends as we sew along together. No need to be on social media, and no ads! 

Welcome to the


 Workshop!

Hi, I'm Lisa, the owner of Pink Hollybush Designs. I love to sew, smock and embroider. Creating a special garment for a loved one brings me such joy. I design patterns that are easy to sew and wear, primarily from knits - perfect for today's busy mom and active child. I would love to teach you how to make them. So grab a cup of tea, and come join me - we won't be rushed but will go at at a slow and steady pace. Join us this August as we sew May Garden, the perfect easy care dress for the adorable girl in your life. I hope you will make some new sewing friends, and expand the knowledge of  your favorite hobby!
