  • Time to make another belt! Elastic from Ebay & buckle my mum gave me but can find similar online (search 'waspie belt buckle' on Ebay for similar functioning type to this). . I wear them daily and the elastic tends to go after a couple of years, so just cut it off and make another on the same buckle 😊 Brilliant for wearing with jeans as really flat so doesn't look all bulky under top #sewabelt #imakemyaccessories #janomemakes

  • New spring sewing course for Improvers (improving beginners) coming soon! My mum gave me this, her favourite skirt, as she doesn't think she'll wear it anymore. She made it in the 80s AND still has the pattern, hurrah! What do you think? I'd like one a bit shorter. Great opportunity to practise LOADS of buttonholes, gathers and making a waistband 😊 #sewingcoursebrighton #imakemyclothes #buttonholes

  • Lib @bettieroseflowers trying on half made bear print pj's which are going to be a gift for someone (I won't mention who in case they see this post)! She stitched these with a large machine stitch (easier to unpick), & she'll sew or overlock over the seams again on Friday once size is confirmed OK 👍🏻😊 . #stitchclasses #pjs #sewgifts #janomemakes #janomeoverlocker

  • Claire @clarabelle_160 made this second Coatigan in class this week in just 2 hours!! (OK, she did cut out & notch/mark up fabric at home!). . I wear the blue boiled wool one I made on your Coatigan workshop all the time so thought I'd make it in this taupe from my pattern I took home. I finished an hour early on your course too, it's such a quick & easy make! . Boiled Wool from @empressmills1927 - edges can be left raw and won't fray, yay 😊👍🏻 . Make one from our free in-class pattern in 2-3 Stitch Classes - see sewbtn.com/sewcoatigan for project & class details . #coatigan #boiledwool #easysewing #janomemakes

  • Today we made our own fabric conditioner to use when pre-washing the bought and upcyled fabrics we use in class: Add 200g of Citric Acid to 1 litre water and shake to dissolve. Add like normal fabric softener to machine drawer. . The delightful ironmongers Bryden's DIY on Blatchington Road at the top of George Street, Hove does an amazing array of things to make your own eco cleaning products and 250g of CA was £2.50. . What can we make next? Next year is going to be all about eco product making we've decided 🌳🌱🌍🌎😊🧡💚💛 #ecocleaning #brydensdiy #citricacid

  • I chose this project as I can learn lots of skills & techniques as I sew on all the different pockets. Beginner sewer (she just made one cushion so far, last week!) Ana @anamoldovan18 pins her first pocket on our 'Pocket Wall Hanging' in-class sewing project - she's making it from her own upcyled curtain fabric 🌸❤️ #upcyled #sewingclassbrighton #sewingpockets
