Meet Suki: The Budget-Conscious Crafter Behind Sew for Max
Hi there! I’m Sukhee (석희)
– though most people here call me Suki — and I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. I’m based on the sunny Gold Coast, where my sewing machine is always humming.
My love affair with sewing truly began when my son Max was born, and that need for a peaceful, creative escape became stronger than ever. Sewing is my therapy and my way of carving out meaningful moments in the beautiful chaos of mum life.
This blog is where my heart is stitched into everything I make for him, and for me.
Creative sewing made simple, smart, and from the heart
Sew for Max is my little corner of the internet for Thrifty, Quick, and Creative Sewing —made especially for busy makers on a budget. I share real stories, helpful tips, and easy projects that fit into everyday life. Because let’s be honest, most of us are short on time and money, but that doesn’t mean we can’t create something beautiful
Sew smart. Sew joyfully. Sew for you.
This blog is where I share my real-life sewing journey—learning how to make more with less time and money. Together, we dive into three core areas that make creative sewing doable and fun, helping you slowly build that dream #memadecapsulewardrobe you’ve been wishing for.
THRIFTY
We dive into the art of upcycling and clever resourcefulness. Why buy new when you can give old fabrics a second life? From transforming thrifted sheets into dresses to turning jeans into tote bags, I share how to find the best value without losing quality — and make it feel good.
QUICK
Short on time? Same here. These posts are all about quick sewing hacks and practical projects that fit into real life — between nap times, late-night moments, or a free weekend hour. I break things down to help you skip the fluff and actually get sewing.
CREATIVE
This is where I share my experiments — the wins, the whoops moments, and everything in between. We learn new sewing techniques together, tackle patterns with confidence, and celebrate the joy of making something uniquely yours.
The K-Fabric Connection: Quality That Lasts
What makes Sew for Max special to me is how it connects back to my Korean roots. I’ve always been inspired by the beautiful world of Korean textiles—the textures, the colours, and the incredible craftsmanship behind them. Traditional techniques like Jogakbo (Korean patchwork) remind me that sewing isn’t just about making things; it’s about storytelling and care in every stitch.
Here, I want to share that inspiration with you. Think of me as your friendly guide to discovering high-quality Korean fabrics and sewing supplies that are often hard to find. In the K-Fabric section, you’ll find honest reviews, trusted shops, and creative ideas to help you sew beautiful, long-lasting clothes and decor. It’s all about mindful, budget-smart sewing—creating pieces you’ll love for years to come.
My goal is for Sew for Max to be a comforting and inspiring Resource for turning fabric into lasting family treasures.
Happy Stitching, Suki (석희)
