The Expert:
Meg Healy had the urge to sew and create at a young age and eventually led her to study Fashion Design in both London, Canada and NYC. While interning for Vera Wang and BurdaStyle during her studies, she was encouraged to accept a full time position with BurdaStyle where she served as the online editor and face of BurdaStyle.com for nearly 7 years inspiring and teaching sewists around the world. Meg now is the content producer for Sew Daily which includes titles such as Sew News and Creative Machine Embroidery magazines while also continuing to develop, film and instruct online sewing videos for BurdaStyle Academy and Sew Daily TV. She shares her sewing journey on the Sew & Tell podcast and on her @meg.says.sew Instagram account. When not sewing, Meg enjoys spending time with her husband exploring the city, cycling, and cuddling their giant pet rabbit.
