About Us

Our Story

An entrepreneur to the core, our founder, Patrick, knew he had a dream of owning his own business. While taking a gap year in Australia, he picked a place to start – selling sleep masks and secondhand books online. Although these businesses didn’t catch on, he kept trying and after many attempts he found something that stuck – a community of like minded individuals who are as enthusiastic about quilting and sewing as he is about entrepreneurship.

His first product was an LED sewing machine light that works universally with a variety of different machines. The light first took off in Facebook advertisements, with his mum becoming the public face of Love Sew and being seen by millions and millions of people across the globe. Emboldened by the quick success of the sewing machine light, Patrick quickly began adding more and more sewing machine gadgets to our online store – including some of our customers’ favorite products like the wool ironing board cover, the ultimate presser foot set, strips quilting ruler, and our quilter’s clapper.

As Patrick grew the Love Sew community, he received many requests from quilters and sewists around the world asking for new products to be added to the store, and it was then that he realized he needed to find a team of passionate quilters and sewists who could help him continue growing Love Sew. Although the Love Sew team is small, we are dedicated to improving our customer experience by expanding our catalog every day and adding our most requested items: fabric, thread, batting, and more.

At Love Sew, we love to sew and quilt, and we know our customers (like you!) do too. That’s why our number one goal is to keep growing by creating and testing the best new products to help our family of quilters and sewists across the world spend more time finishing projects and less time worrying about how to finish projects.
