Helen · 1 day ago Community Member

I have finally finished my top - life kept getting in the way and it seems that it was ages ago that I actually started it. This was my first time sewing with 100% viscose material, and it was not as bad as i thought it would be 😀. I'm sure that i...

Hayley, Is something going on with the BTPD Live? I've knocked 3 times and it just hangs there saying the host has been notified. Sorry Mel, I didn't know how else to msg Hayley except to piggyback you! Rita

This is awesome Mel, especially without a pattern! Don’t think I could do much more than a tote without a pattern.

Apologies for the lighting. The bulb in my sewing room was flickering, but we got a few useable pictures anyway. This is the Hayley Dress by Sew Over It in a cotton poplin from Dalston Mill Fabrics. The back and the front at each cut in one piece....

I Made A Bag!

Mel · 1 day ago Plus Member

With a few hours, no pattern and a vague plan, I made a bag for myself to take to a friend’s wedding at the weekend (24/25 October). It went with my dress and fitted everything I needed to as well! It is in all aspects a handbag, and deliberately...

I’m going to do some bunting. I’ve got everything cut out, I’ve managed to stick some together with fabric stay-tape and I just need to sew now.

Canyon Dress That Fits!

Loved seeing the photos of you on IG from the various SewFizz posts people made. I love this pattern - although I agree, it is oversized - and I thought you looked lovely in it. I'm glad you have a plan for version 2!!

Tights and boots really extend the season for some of our makes! You look gorgeous in the outfit.

Sewing For Christmas?

Only just thinking about it! I do very few presents nowadays - the oldies in my life do not want any more stuff and are very vocal in letting me know that! The youngsters all want money or vouchers. However, I do think I will make some tote type bags...

Sewing For Christmas?

Wendy_sews64 · 2 days ago

No - it's always so busy leading up to Christmas and I don't want you add extra pressure. If I want to make anything for Christmas I plan it for earlier in the year when there's less pressure on my time.

I made a TATB Luella skirt in the summer from viscose linen from The Fabric Obsession but was going to put away then thought hang on a minute it will go nicely with my TATB Billy jumper and it did, felt really pretty in it today

I wanted to make the Canyon dress, by Friday Pattern Company. First Attempt just went completely wrong, so I just bin it, as I wasn't happy with it and the fabric choice. The second attempt, I used a similar fabric to my first attempt, I don't...

Nomi Dress By Sew Over It (Soi) And Jersey Autumn Dresses

AnneMarie W · 1 week ago Plus Member

I also like the SOI Lucy dress. It works great in cotton jersey. It has a waist tie, so it's easy to have it on your waist properly. The only problem I ever have with it, is that I find the pattern piece for the neckline a bit long, so I'd shorten...
