• Another amazing marking tool to add to your kit for stress free sewing! I just bought a Clover Chaco Chalk Liner from @sewprocrafts. Rolls easily along most fabrics, especially ones a chalk pencil would pull on, leaving a lovely fine line. No sharpening ever needed! It's £5.39 including a refill of the powder chalk. See last pic for 10% discount code . So my fabric marking arsenal now includes this plus chalk pencils from Fabric Land @fabriclanduk, Aqua Trick Markers (spray with iron to remove) by Prym @prym.consumer (buy on Amazon or similar avail in Fabric Land) and fantastic wax chalks from Fabric Family in Brighton. You need them all ideally! Marking ALL notches and dots from a pattern to your fabric makes sewing it up soooo much easier and fun. Happy marking and stitching! 😊👚👗🧥📌✂️

  • Ever wondered why a standard size dressmaking pattern doesn't fit you properly? They hardly ever do... we are individual and wonderful shapes...💗 . Look what goes on in an average Stitch Class or video One to One lesson while fitting a pattern 🤗... this student can use her tailored pattern again and again now in various fabrics, with different necklines, sleeves etc and get a great fit each time ❤️👗🧥👚👔👌#newlook6483 #tissuefitting #dressmakingskills

  • I'm absolutely obsessed with flock spot cotton voile! For cool looking net curtains or summer clothes.... . Bought this beauty from @dittofabrics last year & am just in the process of creating a 'make a quick summer top' video workshop with it. Mainly because I need more lightweight summer tops! . Think I may have to make some aqua blue mini tassels to put on it somewhere too.... Watch this space 💗 #sewingworkshops #imakemyclothes #voilezvous

  • Just completed a 1hr video class with regular student Claire @clarabelle_160. She's making a second Kimono Style Jacket from this lovely cotton/viscose fabric from @dittofabrics (she made first one on a workshop at our sewing school in #Hove last year). . So far we adjusted the pattern to fit, stay-stitched to stop neck stretching and started the MANY french seams. Bias binding and hems on Friday! Thank you to hubby for taking over the camera for the ironing scenes 📸😊 .
