Gorgeous step-by-step guides to sewing your own clothes!

Sewing patterns

With refreshingly clear instructions and photos of each step, our easy-to-use sewing patterns will help you to create adorable clothes you’ll feel proud to say you made yourself. Even if you’re a new stitcher! They come in eight sizes (UK 6-20) and are printed in the UK on durable (not scrunchy) FSC certified paper with vegetable-based ink.

 

If you haven't seen their patterns before, then these easy to sew, easy to follow, bang up to date, perfect to even turn the fifi set into a holiday beach set in different fabric, the Bettine dress in sweatshirt material, the Miette skirt in wool felt.

My Weekend Sewing Bee

Pattern free with Love Sewing - issue 10

(just out!)

I think I will be making the Tie Skirt, although I may not sew in the bow.

Only reason is this is more of a tulip style skirt which I want the look of at the top,

And one piece of fabric….

Can I make it in 3 hours, watch this space….

The fabric in the picture is for the collection

Utopia - Fantasy City Fervor - Megalopolitan

The next issue of the magazine is a free pattern for a crop jacket, 

which I just may have to make in the yellow fabric

(so in this year - darling!)

MADE Girls Market Skirt Tutorial

Now I don't sadly have a little girl to dress up and make little skirts for, but if I did, she would have a wordrobe full of these.

I found SeetheWoodsandtheTrees talking about them so thought I would take a look, you can download the pattern for free and get making.

Just a thought we could all do with elasticated waists and a wordrobe full of skirts, if I up'd the pattern a few inches (OK another 30 inches or more.....) put on my best wellies and favorite cardi, I could almost pull off the pretty look, which is something I can't seem to do, even when trying on Wedding dresses, I wanted the 1920's lace look, all pretty and floaty, as soon as I put the dress on, my mum just looked at me, I looked and me and knew it was just so wrong.
