A Tribute to Faye - UPDATED!

Earlier today I got the news that Linda Faye Lewis passed away. I had another blog post written to share today but I really wanted to honor Faye because she was a wonderful woman & sewist and someone I greatly admired in the sewing community.

**Here is Faye's obituary and information on the wake. I don't know how long the obituary and memory wall will be live (if you want to leave a memory) so I would check it out right away!**


Faye blogged at Fayes Sewing Adventure and had an IG account @fayedoll. I don't have many details. I just know that she passed on Thursday but I needed to say a few things in tribute to her.

I met Faye when she left some comments on my blog about a decade ago. Over the years we've talked back and forth. She's featured me on her blog and we've shared fabric. I loved her curiosity regarding sewing and how she was tenacious on learning how to make her clothing fit. That she loved the process of sewing and the sewing community. One of the things I remember most is her sewing challenges on her blog. If you get a chance go back and read some of her blog posts because there is so much information there.

She was very active with the periscope sewing community, her blog and on Instagram. I've included her interview on the Sewing Blab below so you can hear Faye's thoughts in her own words about her sewing history. The interview starts at 7:25, if you want to skip the intro and just hear what Faye has to say.




I'm truly missing her purity of spirit and her light now...she will be missed in the sewing community! My prayers are for her family now because this seems so tragic and sudden.

Hug your family and friends closer cause we never know when our time here on earth is done.

...as always more later!

  1. Oh Carolyn, I am heartbroken. I started interacting with Faye many years ago and participated in her top challenge several times. We exchanged emails on fitting techniques. I had not seen new posts on her blog lately. We had messaged each other from time to time on FB. I am truly saddened to learn of her passing. Thanks for posting this today.

  7. Faye was always so kind! She must have been a truly wonderful teacher; she was certainly a very great blogger, and I'm going to miss her terribly. I've been worried, since she hasn't posted to her blog since February, and was saddened today when GMarie gave me the news.

  23. Lovely tribute, Carolyn. Faye was a Light and she was steady. I have enjoyed her blogged many years and always appreciated her visits to my own. I admired her skill and tenacity. No top or pair of pants was ever going to get the best of her! She clearly was an amazing and kind teacher, the type a student would never forget. She will be sorely missed in the sewing community.
