Finally finished my #cheyennetunic ... I took this snap to show how happy I was with my buttonholes thanks to using #fraystopper - and then I noticed I'd sewn my cuffs on the wrong way around!! I mean, really, HOW?!?! 😂 Much unpicking ... and some foot stomping later ... they were back on - this time properly!! Now I'm going to annoy myself even more by trying - yet again - to knit a pair of socks!! Or perhaps I should just go lay down in a dark room?! 🤣 . . . . #makesgonnamake #createmakeshare #sewingismysuperpower #sewingmakesmehappy #sewallthethings #handmadeclothes #isewedthis #imadethis #sewingchronicles #sewingbuttonholes #automaticbuttonholes #sewcialists #instasewing #sewingaddicted
Fancy sewing / hacking a total one-off jumpsuit by combining the favourite elements of your existing pattern stash to create a #sewtogetherforsummer jumpsuit nobody else has made?! • We're talking hacking your favourite patterns with Suzy @sewing_in_spain showcasing four different examples and providing lots of helpful hints and tips, over on the Blog today! •((post link in my profile / feed page)) . . . #sewingblogger #youcanhackit #sewinghack #millennialsewing #sewjumping #sewingchallenge #cosermola #jaimecoudre #sewover50 #memadewardrobe #isewmycloset #jeportecequejecouds #sewinglove #jumpsuitpattern #sundaysewing #instasew #memadewardrobe #memadeeveryday
Just one of the things I ❤ love ❤ about this Insta #sewingcommunity is the handy little tips you can pick up! Using a contrast bobbin thread on your gathering stitches really does help when setting in sleeves...trying to remember where I picked it up from? Maybe Ali @robinsnest1926 and/or Suzy @sewing_in_spain ... Anyway, being able to quickly access the right threads for pulling is worth the 15 seconds it takes to switch out the thread ... so thanks ladies! 👊👌👍 . . . #sewingtip #sewingtricks #sewinglove #sewingfun #sewsewsew #sewingmakesmehappy #homesewing #sewit #sewcialists #gatheringstitches #sewingsleeves
Started on another #cheyennetunic ... about 8 months after I bought the fabric for it! Just done the button placket, patch pockets and yoke...and although I've now got ○○ spots ○○ before my eyes even when I blink 👀 I'm pretty pleased so far!!! Fabric is a floaty viscose ... c'mon summer!! 🤗 .

Sat down to sew ... and the bulb 💣 blew; guess it had to happen one day! Thankfully I had a spare! Having read the brief manual instructions, naturally, I made a quick vid because I had NO idea how to do it whilst I was doing it! 😆 - so I thought it might be helpful to share?! Anyhoo, after all that, was I successfu!?! 🤓😂🤣 . . . #sewingtip #sewingmachine #sewingmachinerepair #sewmuchfun #sewingtutorial #diysewing #sewinglessons #homesewing #sewingislife #sewingismysuperpower #fortheloveofsewing #janomesewingmachine #janome #sewingmachine #sewingmachines #sewingfun #sewingisfun #sewists #instasewing
