Sew Beautiful Things Sewing Club – SILVER level (2023)

Welcome to your online portal containing all the details and course files for the Silver level of our online sewing club.

Firstly, we would like to invite you to join our members only Facebook page which you will find HERE.  The password for this group is LETS GET SEWING

The Facebook group is a great place to ask for help, share your makes and generally get excited about all that your fellow members are making and creating.  It is a place for all levels to join together, so you will also see what some of our higher level members are up to as well as teasers for new projects and courses from our Platinum VIPS!!

Below you will find 6 lessons, each containing a course video and any written instructions.  Most of the written instruction sheets contain a list of materials so we advise you to take a look at each course carefully before heading to the shops.

When it comes to buying materials, the majority of the items you require can be found in our online shop.  You can order online and we will post out to you, or if you are local you can come into our store and purchase directly.

We can assure you that purchasing direct from Beautiful Things ensures that you are getting the perfect materials for your project as we only stock items suited to our specific classes and courses.  If we do not have a particular item in stock in our shop then we would also like to signpost you to our Amazon affiliate store.  We have stocked this with products that we can personally endorse and also recieve the tiniest commission on your purchase (this does not impact the cost you will pay).

Each month we have an online Sewcial on ZOOM, there is an additional charge of £5 per person to take part (this becomes FREE when you reach Platinum VIP status) You will find more details, dates and booking links for this in our facebook group or by following this LINK

Your projects at this level are:

  • Tie top cushion with French seams
  • Scrap catcher pincushion
  • Lay flat drawstring makeup bag
  • Scrappy Zipper pouch
  • Vivien washbag/Project bag
  • Aprons and oven gloves

Moving up to the next level

If you have purchased a one-off bundle then at any point you will be able to purchase our silver level or obtain a monthly subscription. You do not have to have completed all 6 projects at this level.

If you have signed up to a monthly subscription for this level then your £15 payment will continue for 6 months in total (£90) at that point you can join the silver level and make a one-off payment or pay monthly.  There is no expectation for you to have completed these 6 projects before you join however it is advised.

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!
