Meet

Jenn Barron

A pattern specialist, master seamster and digital badass. Jenn establishes a place where creativity, authenticity and sewing meet, helping make all the things so that you can  be you.

Creating must be in my DNA...

My first memory of sewing was when I was just 4 years old. Since then, I can't remember a time when I wasn't making something.

 

I was the girl who made every dress to every dance and then I made my friend's outfits too. There's rarely a day that I'm not wearing something that I've not just made, but developed from scratch.

 

I take the idea of a MeMade wardrobe to a whole new level – I'm an insatiable maker. 

​

Early in my career I spent a decade producing my own clothing line and oh-em-gee, did I learn so much in that time. It was a whirlwind, well maybe more like a hurricane, but through it all I fell in love with pattern design and development. Ultimately it's how I ended up here.

​

I'm extremely detail oriented, totally impatient

and a blast at a party... 

 I created Sew + Tell Patterns out of a passion for sewing and pattern making. Here, I share my experience, prowess and good vibes hoping to help you master looking rad in the clothes you wear. 

​

Hi, It's me... I'm Jenn, your new sewing bestie.

 

Together, let's make some cool sh*t .
