Sew Beautiful Things Platinum VIP Portal

Or log in to access your purchased courses

Congratulations on progressing through to the platinum level of our sewing club.  You’ve learned so much and made so many wonderful things along the way. Now is the time to reap the benefits of your loyalty.

Once you reach this VIP level you now have access to a whole host of our online courses.  Some, you may well own already having purchased them over the past few years, but there will likely be others you do not own.

Feel free to shop for any of the courses listed at the bottom of the page using the discount codes shown, but please remember these are exclusive to platinum members and are not to be shared with friends or family.

Whilst you remain a member of the platinum club you will receive access to all online courses we release in the coming months and years.  These courses will be added to the list and made available for you to access as soon as they are filmed, edited and ready to go.  So if you see us advertising a new course online, do pop here first as you will likely have access to it already as part of your membership.

DISCOUNT

As a member, you also receive 10% discount on all fabrics, online and in-person workshops. Just remember to use the discount code on checkout.

Fabric and class/course discount of 10% on all products. Use code Platinumpeeps in the coupon box at checkout.

OFFERS

There is a dedicated Platinum Offers section of the webshop which is hidden from the general public.  In it you will find fabrics and other items that have been heavily discounted.  Once these items are gone they are gone and they will not be available to anyone outside of the platinum level of our sewing club.  You can still use your platinum discount on these items to reduce them further.

We will also host regular zoom sessions for you.

LIVE ZOOM SEWCIALS

The Sewcial is a monthly event for all members of the sewing club.  As platinum members, you get FREE access.  Simply visit the event link and book a slot on your chosen date.  Use the code PLATSEWCIAL to zero your shopping balance.

Please note that unless you book in using the official link then you will not receive ZOOM details

COURSE ACCESS CODES

To receive free access to any of the courses listed below, simply visit the main website and select the course of your choice.  Pop it in your basket, ensuring you are logged in before doing so.  Add the relevant code in the discount box and your balance will be zero. Check out as normal.  You will find the course in your MY COURSES section as a standalone.  Should you decide to leave the sewing club at any time you will not lose access to any courses you have added in this way but will lose access to this portal and future discount codes for new courses.

Today we are delighted to be introducing a new cha Today we are delighted to be introducing a new challenge to you that is free to join in with.  We hope it will encourage you to try something new.

The 'Sew out of your comfort zone challenge' is designed to encourage you to create something that you wouldn't normally try, or to venture into a new sewing territory.

Maybe there is a pattern you think just wont suit you, but you've seen lots of other people making it and are tempted to give it a try.  Maybe there is a new technique you've always wanted to have a go at but have been to scared to try.  You might have been sewing for years but have never tried a particular fabric or method before.

Sandra has always avoided the Tilly & The Buttons Indigo dress as it has soooo much gathering and she thought it would not be all that flattering.  But she's seen me wearing my many versions and has now decided to give it a go.

I have made lots of jumpsuits but have never worked with Scuba before or a Deer and Doe pattern so I'm giving it a go for the first time.

Join us during Februrary and pick something that pushes you out of your comfort zone.  Be sure to post your progress on social media using the hashtag #sewoutofmycomfortzone and we can all hold your hand in the process.

Hi it’s Sandra. I’ve finished my first project Hi it’s Sandra. I’ve finished my first project on my #makenine2023 list. It’s the Atlas Bag by Swoon patterns. It looks so pretty but I don’t like it! I used a vinyl that I realised I didn’t have enough of, so lined the straps in cotton, but don’t like that they are then facing upwards with the lining.
The straps are also ridiculously  long. The bag is much too wide for my shoulders so isn’t comfortable to wear. Never mind, good reason to try another pattern!
