I’m Teresa Coates and I’m here to help you fall in love with sewing.

As a sewing educator, quilt maker, travel writer, pattern designer and relentless adventurer, I stay busy and inspired. I design sewing and quilting patterns with beginners in mind and bridge the divide between sewing and quilting. Crinkle Dreams pattern are available from me for both retail and wholesale.

For four years, I was the host of Sew Together Tuesday, a live, instructional show for Shannon Fabrics. In 2021, we launched Sew Together Tuesday: On the Road and spent more than a year visiting quilt and fabric shops across the country, turning it into The Great American Shop Hop , which I continue to do any chance I get.

These days I’m teaching quilted clothing workshops at shops and events across the country, designing quilt and craft patterns, and developing the Dream Team Community, an online hub for tutorials, lives and more for makers of all stripes.

If you’re looking for quilt guild presentations, lectures and sewing/quilting workshops, send me a message. I’d love to hear from you!
