“Multitasking” When Sewing…

AnnieRose · 18 hours ago

I used to listen to music or the radio. However, I now find that I really need all my concentration on sewing, so mostly in silence. I might put something on if I have a bit of hand sewing, or something very basic, but am worried about mking...

“Multitasking” When Sewing…

Mel · 19 hours ago Plus Member

Does anyone else watch TV/film or listen to something while sewing? Usually I will listen to an audiobook or podcast. Yesterday, I had a day of sewing and watched the Winter Olympics (the only time I actually watch sport! 🤪) I wondered what...

I had never heard of Scottish Frocktails, and when I googled, I found this piece about sewing dresses, so in case you hadn't found it, here it is: Makes me think that a pashmina ( a proper one you can pass through a wedding ring) would be a...

Thanks Shelley. I made it in a size L, and I didn’t have to make any adjustments just chose the standard neckline rather than the lower one.

Irene G · 1 day ago Plus Member

Thanks Hayley, it is exciting and I can't wait. I have so many ideas running around in my head I just can't pin any of them down. (pardon the pun) I'm also looking forward to the clocks changing so that I can get back into the chats. xx

Hi Elaine, I have heard of this challenge, but you're right I'm not sure if it's being "officially" run this year! Sounds great though, if you've already spent money on lots of beautiful fabrics they deserve to be made up!

Do You Love To Crochet?

Theresa · 1 day ago Plus Member

I do love to crochet, and find that in the winter, when I want to snuggle up to the log burner and keep my hands busy this is the best way. The reason I love it more than knitting is because I can just stop anywhere, whereas I always feel with my...

Sewing Goals For 2026

SewHayleyJane · 1 day ago Admin

Oooh Irene, this is so exciting!! I think with capsule wardrobes a good place to start is to pick two or three colours that go together for your key pieces and then make basics in more neutral colours that compliment your standout ones. Pinterest...

Thank you Annie, that is so helpful. I like your ideas for colours, I was actually thinking of purple or green. I don't have my itinerary completely mapped out. I am spending 3 days in London when I first arrive, then heading up to Scotland (where...

Planning New Projects

Wendy_sews64 · 1 day ago

I haven't sewn much this year - just one skirt I cut out before Christmas. This morning I went into my sewing room and started planning a few projects. I traced off the patterns for the Ogden Cami and the Charlie Caftan and cut out a wearable toile...

Laon Shirt- Itch To Stitch

Shelley · 2 days ago Plus Member

Its a great pattern, don't we all need a fitted button up shirt and such a good fit with the princess seams. I do like Itch to Stitch patterns they do bust cup sizes with all their pattetns so that you can get a really nice fit

Lovely top, you cant beat a nice tee shirt pattern for a relaxed sew 😊

That is so pretty, and a lovely colour on you. How did you find the sizing?

Sewing Goals For 2026

AnnieRose · 2 days ago

Well, I think that your main consideration, after walking boots / shoes, is a lightweight water proof jacket with a hood, that can be layered. So I would pick that first as options in technical fabric are a bit more limited. My husband always...
