Today I’ve been busy pre-cutting fabric ready fo Today I’ve been busy pre-cutting fabric ready for our next group of beginners starting next week. ✂️ In the first lesson of Sew from Scratch our students make a washable cutlery (or sunglasses) pouch. We provide the fabric already cut and ready to go so everyone can make and take home a finished pouch! 👌 What was the first thing you ever sewed? Can you even remember? 🤔
We chatted about this in two of our course lessons We chatted about this in two of our course lessons last week. Have you ever bought a RTW top and after one wash, the side seams are all twisted?? This is likely because the fabric wasn’t cut on grain. It’s SO important to get this right during the cutting out stage even if it takes a bit of fiddling about and time ✂️
We’re BAAAAAACKKKK!! 💃💃💃 We are so exci We’re BAAAAAACKKKK!! 💃💃💃 We are so excited to be back teaching our classes again and have a few weeks of catch up to do before we can release the Term 3 classes. Stay tuned to your inbox for latest updates (link to newsletter sign up in bio). 😃✂️
It was a special friend’s birthday recently so o It was a special friend’s birthday recently so of course I had to make him a t-shirt 👕 I’m quite picky about who I make tees for as my sewing time is super limited these days, but the mum of this boy is an absolute gem to me and my kiddies, always going the extra mile to help us out. Plus I know her kids love it when I make them tees which is a added bonus! 😃 The birthday boy is my 6yo’s bestie so he chose the fabric from my stash and I got sewing the morning of the party. Lucky it’s a quick sew and because I didn’t have time to rethread my overlocker which the different colours needed, I did this one all on my regular machine and then coverstitch for the hems 🧵 The feedback was he loved it and couldn’t believe that I made it ✂️ What do you think?
