SewHayleyJane · 18 hours ago Admin

I was so proud of my Falconers - I do want to narrow the leg on mine a little though! So pleased you've enjoyed it

Is this a good reason to rehome the cat?

Karen · 18 hours ago Plus Member

I was tidying my sewing space and opened my box of paper patterns. Unbeknownst to me, my cat that likes to chew cardboard has got in there and made rather a mess. Lots of tiny bits of patterns.

I loved them all but my favourite was the Eddy Blazer - it was a tough challenge I probably wouldn't have attempted alone but the support of other members plus Hayley's videos made it achievable and I wear mine all the time!

I absolutely love the Falconer pants. I have made a toile plus 2 pairs so far. The fit is fantastic and easy to modify for a narrower leg if needed. I love Hayley's questions for the guests every month. I have learned a lot. All the guests have...

Hi, so lovely to meet you! That's amazing that you make most of your clothes... I think you could probably confidently move out of beginner territory! Bras are on my "one day" list! What are your favourite things to sew?

Hello, I am so glad to have discovered this site, and am amazed it has taken me so long! I live in East Northamptonshire, I'm in my 70s, have been sewing so long that I don't remember learning - yet I often feel like a beginner! I make most of my own...

Re-purpose a long vintage skirt into a dress

SewHayleyJane · 3 days ago Admin

Love that idea! Would love to see a photo when it's finished! Another thought I had was to sew some shirring - either all the way around the bust or in a panel at the back for a bit of shaping

I think it looks fine. The fabric is beautiful.

Thank you for the followup! I'm still in the process, but I took your advice and removed the waistband. I''m converting the waistband to create straps and make it into a halter dress!

Gemma_thedalythread · 4 days ago Ambassador

That sounds lovely Hayley! I actually have so little time to sew right now with the podcast etc - I did cut out a Tilly and the buttons Marnie blouse as thought this would be nice for Christmas. Whether I get it made is another thing 🙈😂

Does AI Have a Place in the Sewing Industry?

SewHayleyJane · 4 days ago Admin

A positive way of using AI in the sewing industry - Sew Me Sunshine has just launched a new feature on their website where you can select a fabric and pattern and it generates an image of the two together so you can see what it looks like! Stash...

Did you choose any Gemma? I've just finished the cropped Marlo in a white cable knit... It's so snuggly but need to figure out the best way to style it for my body

SewHayleyJane · 4 days ago Admin

Oooh exciting times! Glad you were able to cut around the fold, and I think lining it is a good idea - might make the poly a bit more comfortable next to your skin. Sounds like a slippery nightmare but good it's all big pieces!

Toaster sweater by Sew House Seven

SewHayleyJane · 4 days ago Admin

It's been such a popular pattern! Have you got a fabric in your stash Kim? I reckon it would be a super speedy sew

I keep seeing the Toastie sweater and it always looks so nice. I'm inspired by yours; love the fabric and colour.

Cable Knit Decision

SewHayleyJane · 5 days ago Admin

Ok folks, I'm just cutting out a Marlo cardigan in a cable knit. I had cut out the neck binding which comes all the way down the centre front as per the cutting instructions. However, that means the cable on the neck band will be perpendicular to...

I cut my fabric yesterday! This is a lightweight poly challis so I now hate it but we're moving along. Having many small pieces meant I didn't have to get long lengths of this fabric to behave identically while cutting. I just lined up and weighed...
