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!

We still have 2 places left on this fabulous course this Saturday. Claire will be showing you how to make something wonderful from your scrap fabrics using the Creative Grids Scrap Crazy templates.

Not only is this a great scrap project you can also create beautiful planned quilts from fabric bought specifically for your own designs. The templates are so versatile that they can be used to seamlessly create beautiful designs. Come and enjoy the magic as Claire talks you through lots of different options and leave the class with your own set of templates to play with at home worth £29.99!!
