Clover & Violet - Sewing Patterns

Hi, I'm Melissa Mortenson, a blogger, fabric designer, and content creator. I am the Founder of the Polka Dot Chair website, where I'd love to invite you to "pull up a chair" and create something you will love with me! I have been sharing fresh and creative sewing, quilting, and craft ideas with readers since 2008, and I would love to have you join me on this creative journey.

Simplify your days and create a life you love with motivation, productivity tips, and mindset shifts that help you build better habits. Small steps lead to big changes, and this newsletter will guide you every step of the way.

On my four different websites you can: 🌻 Explore practical, MODERN HOMESTEADING, both outdoors and indoors, for real people (dailyimprovisations.com); 👣 Be encouraged in FITNESS FOR ANYONE who thinks long term about exercise being beneficial and sustainable over age 50 (funfitnessafter50.com); 💥 Learn from my decades of experience how dedicated PARENTS CAN HOMESCHOOL their own children (thehappyhomeschool.com); and ⛩ Get an inside track on learning the CHINESE LANGUAGE AS AN ADULT with me and my tutor (funlearningchinese.com).

I love to teach how to sew, alter and rework your clothes to fit YOU - your way, your style. If you are looking to create a wardrobe that fits you and you have some basic sewing skill, you're in the right place. Subscribe to learn about why it's hard to find clothes that fit your body, and (this is the fun part) what you can do about it. It might not even be as hard as you think!
