Hi, I rediscovered sewing during Covid after a very long break. Im only 4ft 10 so have always struggled to find clothes the right length in the body and/or sleeves. I try to sew sustainably, buying deadstock fabrics and habadashery from a sustainable source. I make clothes, bags, and homeware. Dor Mills

Hi, so great to have you here and amazing that you rediscovered a passion for sewing!
Hi everyone,
Thank you Hayley for setting this up - such a great idea!
My name is Vicki and I live just outside of Bristol.
i used to sew with my nan as a child but then rediscovered my love for it in 2016 and haven't looked back!
I mostly prefer dressmaking, and my favourite fabric is a floaty, bright, floral viscose!
Really looking forward to getting to know everyone - hope you're all getting some time to sew over Christmas!sew_itz_vicki - 1 week ago
Yes the bright and floaty viscose, one of my favourites too! Great to have you here Vicki!

Hi everyone hope you all had a grand Christmas and are looking forward to a busy 2025 sew fest! I'm Penny in North Essex and am a relative newcomer to garment sewing - I am also a quilter. I have great plans for next year - first stop clearing the sewing space of all the boxes and rubbish stuffed in there to make the rest of the house look reasonable! But that will wait till twelfth night in the meantime some lovely sewing plans to dive into..... Thanks Hayley for creating this amazing site - am so looking forward to making sewing friends and expanding my sewing skills next year. Bye for now! 👋👋👋

Hi Everyone, my name is Helen and I live near Cambridge. I had not sewn for years but restarted about six months ago and really have the sewing bug now. My grandmother was the most amazing sewist I know and I just wish she had been around when I started, then I might not have stopped for such a long time. Looking forward to being part of this community and improving my skills.
Hi Everyone and Happy New Year (almost).
Thanks Hayley for setting this up, it's been so nice to catch up with everyone!
I'm Sonya, originally from Newcastle, UK, but I live on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada now. I've been sewing for almost a year and have picked up a lot of tips from sewhayleyjane and looking forward to learning more!
I'm looking forward to connecting with more sewists and learning more about fitting.

Hi Sonya, wow that's a big move! Amazing that you've only been sewing a year, hope you find lots of inspiration here
Hello everyone I'm Mandie from West Sussex. I live with my husband and 2 children (ages 7 and 1). I've been sewing on and off for 12 years but really got into it in the last 3, and now no longer buy clothes new- only make them myself or buy second hand (last years resolution that was successful!)
I'm looking forward to chatting and enjoying this lovely community! Thank you Hayley!

Hi everyone! I am Ann from Pennsylvania, USA. I am a special education teacher, wife, and mom of three (27, 23, and 21 year olds). My mom loved sewing. It was her creative outlet. She started me sewing in my teens. I sewed for a few years then stopped. During COVID I started up again and found my love of sewing again. It is my creative outlet now. I love being able to create clothes that fit me and are unique. I love your magazines included in the boxes, Hayley. I get so much inspiration from them. I am so looking forward to ThreadySet Go. I love seeing what people create and hearing their ideas. I have made a lot of my things after seeing what others make. I look forward to the boxes each month. Decembers came on christmas eve- a great christmas present. I have been a subscriber for less than a year and really love it.
Hi everyone, I am Karen and I live in Somerset with my daughter (who came back temporarily and is still here over a year later), my dogs and cats, plus I have a litter of kittens. My daughter has decided that she wants this month's fabric - says it's the perfect colour for her. My final sew in 2024 is for her as well. It's a cropped Style Arc Bert polo shirt in a knit fabric I purchased from Tamlyn's destash.

Hi Ann, that's so lovely to hear thank you so much! And how amazing that your box arrived on Christmas Eve, what a present!

Hi Karen, so lovely to have you here! I think your daughter might need to join and watch some of our beginner tutorials coming in January!!
Hello, I'm Wendy and I live in north west Essex, not far from Cambridge. I've been sewing most of my life, but started again seriously about 12 years ago. I make my own clothes, but also enjoy machine embroidery and patchwork & quilting.
