SewRetired
Hi, I am Dawn Opal,
Welcome to my channel, where I highlight my love of sewing. I retired early and now at 60+ I'm embracing and leaning into my third act of life - Freedom. I got my time back and I love it!
Master the skills of sewing with me to create lovely clothing pieces to enhance your body, look, style, and wardrobe.
Sewing, for me, is therapy and retirement has helped me to rediscover my love for this creative art form.
So, I invite you to dust off your sewing machine or purchase one and sew along with me.

✂️ Last Pattern Haul of the Year ✂️
I just uploaded my final sewing pattern haul of the year, and this one feels a little extra special. As I head into the new year, I’m being more intentional—focusing on sewing what I already own and choosing patterns that truly fit my lifestyle.
If you enjoy pattern hauls, sewing plans, and a slower, more thoughtful approach to creativity, I think you’ll enjoy this one 💛
👉 Have you stopped buying patterns for the year, or are you still adding “just one more” to your stash? 😄
Let me know in the comments!
✨ New sewing videos every Thursday
I'm looking forward to new Sunday uploads starting in 2026 ☕- High Tea with Dawn.
