Bestie bag - thank you for all your help❤️

Emma S · 1 day ago Community Member

It may take a village to raise a child but it takes a Sunday Social Sewing group to make a Bestie Bag. This was my first attempt at bag making and I'm really pleased how it turned out. I got the pleather from New Craft House over a year ago but...

Love the idea of bridging the gap between where you are now and the coat by sewing dresses that will teach you the skills you need!

Trying to choose an industrial sewing machine

SewHayleyJane · 2 days ago Admin

Hi, ooh this is very exciting! I've never used an industrial machine so I'm afraid can't give any useful recomendations - but I've never heard of the Sunstar which might put me off a bit. I know Pfaff has a very good reputation. Can I ask what led...

Hi all :) I'm buying an industrial sewing machine, and I'm stuck on two. Would love to hear your opinions! My choices are between Pfaff 136 6/2bs and a Sunstar km-137a with a recently installed servo motor. Both are straight lockstitch and in...

It just came in my size so not nested and I got it printed A0 and it was tiny! I could tell straight away it was going to be nowhere near fitting. Quite bizarre!

And figuring out linings!

Sewing Goals for 2026

Mel · 5 days ago Plus Member

I do! It's a Cashmerette pattern (the name I can't remember). It's going to be a lot of work. So my steps there will involve making more dresses with more 'involved making steps' I might even try to make a few more blouses and shirts.

How to pick yourself up when things go wrong

Laura · 6 days ago Community Member

Thanks Hayley. The fit on the body isn't great, but you can't really see from the pics as the fabric is dark. Anyway, good advice on the sleeves. I'll tackle it when I am feeling less 'meh'. I hope to see you on a social soon x

Oh Laura I can feel your disappointment in your words and sending you lots of love. It's totally ok to be disappointed, and Annie has given you some excellent words of wisdom and encouragement. Let's look at the positives first - you learnt...

You're allowed to be disappointed, whatever else is going on the world! I have just remembered the wise words of Michelle Pye (she closed her English Couture Company 18 months ago) whose advice I miss - I hope she is enjoying her retirement....

Thank you for your thoughtful reply Annie. I know we have all been there and there are far worse things happening in the world. It's just disappointing. It is possible that in time I could take the sleeves of at the dropped shoulder and wear it in...

Oh I feel for you! And I can see from your pictures how nice it should have been. This is what I do: Accept what I have learned (hard sometimes!) Put the garment away for awhile if I can't stand looking at - although sometimes I do the...

Sewing Goals for 2026

AnnieRose · 6 days ago

No, I used the apple front and the pear back (it will make sense when you lay it all out! ) You probably won't need to do that, but it shows how you can change the pattern to make it fit well.

This weekend I had an sewing fail which has upset me more than it should. I can probably blame hormones and 'winter blues' for my reaction but it has made me wonder how you all pick yourself up when things go wrong? I made the Atelier Jupe Julia...

Loving these tips! Interesting about combining the apple and pear options - did you lay one pattern over the top of the other and blend them or something else?

Hi Christine I love wearing skirts and dresses and I'm still trying to find a pattern that I love and will repeat. Being part of this community is great, especially if you don't have an in-person sewing social that you can get to.
