About

Greetings everyone! My name is Mag, and I'm a wife, mother, sewing enthusiast. With a passion for cooking, sewing, crafting, and DIY, I take ordinary children's patterns and elevate them into boutique-quality clothing, sharing step-by-step tutorials and comprehensive shopping lists for others to create the same designs at home for a fraction of the cost. When I'm not busy sewing dresses for my daughter, Cecilia, I enjoy listening to vintage records with my husband or channeling my inner Barefoot Contessa in the kitchen.

At Sweet Tea Proper, we provide a supportive environment where individuals can acquire knowledge, develop their skills, ignite their creativity, and empower themselves to create extraordinary items using a simple needle and thread.

About Sweet Tea Proper

Initially, Sweet Tea Proper was established as a platform to glorify and embrace the splendor and allure of Southern living. Boasting a vast assortment of topics ranging from gardening, cooking, crafting, and home renovations, the website emerged as a veritable cornucopia of information. Nowadays, Sweet Tea Proper centers its focus on all things sewing, placing a particular emphasis on children's apparel. Though our latest posts primarily pertain to sewing, visitors may access our most popular older articles through our Notions page.
