Too Many Ideas?!

Mel · 1 day ago Plus Member

https://www.thefabricobsession.co.uk/the-sew-obsessed-sewscription-box from the Fabric Obsession comes with fabric, lots of extras and a choice of a warm or cool colour palette. Their fabrics are usually bold and colourful or statement pieces....

Hi, thanks for the reply, i love the element of surprise and it forces me out of my comfort zone in terms of always picking the same fabric i.e cotton, viscose etc and also the same fabric patterns (most of the fabric i buy is ditzy floral) so i love...

What To Do With Fabric Scraps

AnnieRose · 2 days ago

Hello, I wasn't sure where to put this on the thread. Just wanted to share this week's 'sewing bee' with my friends. Using our own scrapos and donated fabric, and our own dried lavender, we make lavender bags, for local nursing homes and to sell...

Love the vintage cotton from G&G (and Lamazi). This looks like a beautiful make and well done you for repurposing something that no longer fits. It's very gratifying, isn't it? And a 🌟for smiling in your photos.... x

DonnieH · 2 days ago Plus Member

I hope this might help. On your home page, you have your stash displayed at the bottom but it only shows 8 items. Underneath that photo grid there's a link to 'view everything in your stash'. Once you are in your whole stash you can filter the...

Before recommending anything I am wondering all sorts of things! I should also tell you that I overthink everything! I'm curious to know what the subscription box provides to you? Do you love the surprise, the treats, the 'extras' - tools etc? ...

Some of my Summer makes. I'll add to this thread as I take more photos (I hate taking photos of myself - apologies for the look of misery on my face. It has become my natural expression as I have gotten older!). First back and front of the Maison...

You are so welcome. My first fig was my first foray into buttonholes and they turned out okay. I did lots of practice ones on scraps first. I have made it in sweater knit and rubbed cotton jersey and I love both. Also for both I used the nikko too...

I haven’t listened to the radio! That’s a great reminder. Thank you Jane. The Cosmo top is one of my favourites too. I like the Fig. I’ve only made one but find the shape very good for my body. I’m not a fan of buttonholes on jersey but when I made...

My second Florence Top from Merchant and Mills. I sized down on this one. I made my previous version according to my measurements and taking account of the finished garment measurements. Despite this, it was a bit big, most noticeably on the...

Winslow Culottes

Charlyze2 · 4 days ago Plus Member

Thanks. Im sure yours look amazing on you. I think a chambray might have a bit more structure than a viscose so it might feel like more fabric? The viscose I used is very drapey and although there is a lot of fabric it doesn't feel like it. It...

Love them! I've just finished a full-length pair in a lightweight navy chambray. As you say, a very quicky make and they came together beautifully however, I felt they swamped me so I've just shortened them by 15cms. Perhaps using a plain fabric...

Thank you Annie. Had to move some things around for work last week and, long story cut short, managed to face plant across my front door threshold whilst carry stuff around. I’m fine now but felt very sorry for myself at the end of last week and...
