Sarah Miller Sarah · Founder, Thread & Nest

Hi, I’m Sarah —welcome to my nest.

Three kids, one very patient husband, and a craft closet that has officially taken over the guest room. I started Thread & Nest in my kitchen-table era: nap-time sewing projects, birthday parties on a grocery-store budget, and a Pinterest board for every hope I had for our little home.

When other moms kept asking "wait, how did you make that?", I started writing the steps down. That habit became this blog — and now a cozy corner of the internet where beginners are always, always welcome.
