💬 A Note from Hyejung
This season feels extra special.
After feeling burnt out earlier this year, my trip back home to Korea gave me a chance to breathe, reconnect, and rediscover why I started all this.
Now, with new fabrics, new designs, and a refreshed heart,
HeySewCute begins again — ready to meet you all at the markets.
Thank you always for supporting local, handmade, heartmade creations. 🌿
