Sewing Stories That Bring Families Together with Jennifer Long

If you love projects with heart, purpose, and a touch of playfulness then Jennifer Long is your kind of maker!

She’s joining us for The Handmade Collective, and she’s bringing a family-friendly project that’s as practical as it is joyful.

Jennifer is a mom of four, an Early Childhood Educator, and the creative force behind Sew A Story. She’s a professional doll designer, licensed artist, and fabric designer for Riley Blake Designs. She is so passionate about helping families connect through meaningful, handmade projects. Her patterns are more than just makes - they’re memory-makers.

🎈 Make a Fabric Balloon Cover

Jennifer will be sharing how to sew a fabric balloon cover. It's a clever, colorful project that turns everyday play into something handmade and meaningful. Perfect for summer fun with kids and families, this reusable balloon cover brings all the bounce and joy of a regular balloon. And all that without the popping, mess, or tiny pieces to clean up.

As both a mom and an educator, Jennifer loves that this project encourages active play while being safer and more sustainable than traditional balloons. It’s a playful make that kids can toss, catch, and giggle over - all sewn with love.

Join Jennifer on Wednesday, June 18, as she guides you step by step through this sweet and simple project. She will be showing how she uses the CutterPillar Glow Mat to trace and cut pattern pieces with ease and accuracy. It’s a simple, hands-on tutorial that’s easy to follow and sure to inspire more joyful sewing moments with the little ones in your life.
