It’s Sew Heidi

Heidi Schaeffer started her journey and love of sewing at just 8 years old. Taking a break in her teens, she served in the navy for 4 years after high school. She is a mother of 3 kids, and grandmother to 4. She works full time at Berner Foods and has a clowder of precious kitties.  Currently Heidi has developed her love for making bags, rugs and quilts into her own business. 

In July of 2025, Heidi opened her own store in Durand, IL. The store is warm and welcoming, perfect for friends. It’s Sew Heidi offers classes for newbies to advanced sewers wanting to tune their skills.  You will also find unique supplies for all your bag making needs, and kits to start your bag making journey.
