Have you ever bought a new sewing pattern hoping this one, would be the perfect one? Maybe it had the neckline you were after, or a sleeve variation you thought you liked. So you of course, you bought it. But, sadly, after many hours of your precious labour later, you realise it is just not quite right. It yet again falls short of that vision you had in your head for this garment. It’s a frustrating cycle, and I’ve seen so many sewists stuck in it. I used to be there too! But here’s how I learne

We all need tools to do our beloved sewing, which inevitably means we will have to spend some $$$ on them. But do you ever feel like you spend money on tools that break way too quickly, or just don’t feel worth what you paid for them? After many years of sewing (and wasting plenty of money on the wrong things), I’ve learned what’s worth investing in and what you can save in by DIY'ing or thrifting. I'm passing that accumulated knowledge on to you because I want to help you save those hard-earned

There's one thing no one tells you before you start sewing! It's that it's like a drug, you're easily hooked and once you're in the club, SEWING WILL TAKE OVER YOUR LIFE! 🤣 And your space! 😂 I think we almost all start out on the dining room table to sew and the floor to cut out, packing up and down every time. But then, as you're sewing all the time, slowly the equipment and stash grows, of course you need a more permanent ironing station and the pack up and pack down happens, well,...less an

Why do sewing patterns never fit back into the packet? 🤣 Oh, the delicate art of refolding a sewing pattern… Where every piece has mysteriously doubled in size, and none of the original creases make sense anymore. There are two ways to tackle this... ✂ You could painstakingly fold it all back up perfectly neatly, back to those original fold lines (or as close as sanity will allow anyway 😎) ✂ Or you could just scrunch it up and squish it back in, however it fits, and call it done. ...There is o

Back when I first started sewing, I would spend hours on a garment. Cutting carefully. Following the pattern. Putting so much time and energy into my sewing. And yet… when it was finished, I’d hold it up and feel a little bit disappointed. It was fine... good, even! But, I just didn’t love it. And more often than not, it just ended up in the back of my wardrobe. And it felt so frustrating that "skill effort" ≠ always equal a garment I loved. I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. It wasn’

I know we all love investing in new sewing tools and fun gadgets. And sometimes upgrading even the most basic tools we use every day can make a big difference. If you’re still using those short, little, stubby, plastic pins... it might be time for an upgrade! 💡 Glass head pins are longer, sharper, thinner and best of all, heat-proof! That means you can iron right over them without melting the ends or damaging your project. It is so handy to be able to pin a hem in place, or a bias strip, for ex
