Accessible Sewing
Everyone gets up in the morning and puts on clothes. Clothing is a huge part of our identities, a way of expressing ourselves. What we wear has the power to make us feel incredible or invisible, comfortable, or in pain, stylish, or drab.
Welcome to the home of accessible sewing. Everything you need to build your accessible sewing kit and make your craft work for you. From shears to pins and everything in between.
Everything we offer has been hand selected by us, making sure that every tool and item can help make sewing more accessible and pleasurable for all, whatever our ability, skill, or challenge. As long as you love to sew, we’re here to help make your dreams a reality.
Becky is late-diagnosed Autistic and ADHD and a professional dressmaker and pattern cutter. All Access Sewing was born out of the frustration and impatience Becky felt at how her clothes never felt quite right on her body. Learn more about Becky and her journey.
