Secrets of a Bridal Seamstress 2026 FALL FEST
Stronger Together
October 21-23, 2026 SEATTLE
After a successful wedding season, let’s recharge with purpose
For a bridal seamstress, a full season can be fulfilling and also feel a little lonely.
We spend hours in our studios to prepare the perfect fit, and then we pour so much love and energy into appointments with clients. It’s no wonder we feel exhausted by the end of a busy wedding season!
sbs fall fest events were created to fill your cup: to help you reflect, celebrate, and learn with friends.
Each session has been planned based on your feedback and requests!
Here’s what we can look forward to…
Breaking through the money cap and redefining our financial goals
Discovering what mindset blocks are limiting our potential and growth
Taking time to reflect on the season: what worked well, what do we need to improve?
Celebrating SBS member Lisa Mensonides new building for our Thursday sessions
Touring Seattle highlights!
A bridal sewing workshop day at Sweet Francis Sewing Co
Learning how to expand our community: by developing friendships within SBS, and learning how to establish our businesses in our local wedding vendor networks.
FALL FEST is a great combination of keynote sessions, creative activities, learning from one another, and conversation. Mountain air and beautiful views of the Puget Sound will only enhance the ‘restful’ reset!

day 2: stronger together- seattle tour day, and afternoon sessions at mensonique

Meet our keynote speaker: certified Money Mindset Coach, Jillian Minter
Jillian's work blends money mindset, business strategy, and deep inner work to help women look at the beliefs and patterns that are quietly shaping the way they earn, charge, receive, and grow.
Her approach is both practical and personal, which is exactly why I knew she’d fit the (dollar) bill! ;)
1. The Money Story You Didn't Know You Had. This will be the foundation for understanding the beliefs we have carried into our businesses, often without realizing it. The goal is to help you see the money story that may be quietly influencing your pricing, your boundaries, your capacity, and your confidence.
2. Break the Cap: Raising Your Prices and Growing Past Six Figures. This is where we'll start moving from awareness into action. We'll talk about the six-figure ceiling, why it is not the final destination, and what it can look like to step into a more empowered relationship with pricing, growth, and the next version of your business.
And because retreats can be so powerful in the moment, but sometimes the application gets away from us, Jillian will also be offering an optional follow-up group coaching call a few weeks after Fall Fest!
That way, you're not just leaving inspired. You'll have support as you begin integrating what you learned into your actual business!
I can’t wait to host my friends at Sweet Francis Sewing Co!
Day 2 we’ll explore Seattle’s best views, and spend the afternoon at Lisa Mensonides’ new shop!
Touring her space will inspire how you set up your own studio at home. We’ll settle in at Mensonique for our afternoon sessions together.
Day 3 of our retreat will be held at my own studio!
We’ll work through common alteration requests and challenges together, swap favorite tricks and tips, and have a ‘favorite tool’ exchange! We’ll each have an opportunity to plan ahead to share a specific favorite skill.
Hosting in a fitting space allows the opportunity to walk through an appointment experience together.
You’ll leave Seattle full of fresh ideas and inspiration from bridal seamstresses around the country.
