Blog Busting!

by Emma Nyeupdated on June 17, 2020June 13, 2020

A summary of my journey to creativity, from March to now, since life as we know it changed.

  • It has been AGES! since I did some sewing. Today I took advantage of the miserable weather and started some Christmas presents 🎁🎄 #homemadechristmas #homemadegifts #christmasiscoming #sewinguk #uksewing
  • Last one I promise! Finishing touches are done including stitching the lining to the zip tape and a nice little hook and bar. Loved making this and cant wait to crack on with the next one. Thinking some tights and brown boots and a black turtleneck with this 🥰🍂🍁👢
  • My favourite thing about making my own clothes is that if something isn't working, its so easy to change it! Pockets = gone! The fit is now so much better 🙌
  • Its been a while!! My first attempt at the sew over it #soiavaskirt in a very odd wool material. It looks fab, but i didn't grade the pattern so the fit is a bit odd too! Also my first attempt at lining which I think went OK. Lessons for the next one: * grade the pattern! * use the lining fabric for the pockets (I used just a black poly which doesn't really work) * use a fabric which doesn't move around (tough to describe but it's like a wool weave so it seems to shift in its shape - since checked back on my order and its "Boucle Weave" - couldn't for the life of me remember!😂) Overall though love this pattern and can't wait to make more autumn winter skirts. Fabric from textile express and lining from a stall at Nottingham Victoria Centre market (and a bargain it was too!) #sewinguk #uksewing #sewoverit #wool #sewingpatterns
  • 🧵ADVICE PLEASE!🧵 Fellow #sewistsofinstagram! I'd love your advice. I picked up these gorgeous wool/wool mix fabrics from @textileexpress with the aim to make some skirts out of them for the best seasons for fashion (IMO 🤣) Any tips for sewing with wool please as I am a complete wool novice. Needle types, watch outs, anything else would be great! This is my next project instead of the grace/Haxby for now. Im ready for some pretty autumn wears 🍂 #sewistsofinstagram #wool #woolofinstagram #sewing #sewinguk #uksewing #newfabric #fabric #sewingadviceplease
