Have you learnt anything new this week?⁠ ⁠ I w

Have you learnt anything new this week?⁠
⁠
I was thinking about something that I learned recently. It might seem really simple to others but, for me, my newfound understanding is going to be a lifesaver!⁠
⁠
As silly as I feel telling you guys this, I'm going to anyway!⁠
⁠
I've never known how to work out the pricing on oddly sized pieces of fabric - 1.3 metres, for example.⁠
⁠
So when a good friend (who is also a maths and English tutor) came in the other day to buy fabric, I decided to fess up and told her that I didn't know how to work out the price of her piece of fabric.⁠
⁠
I was so relived when she taught me the maths ... because what I'd actually been doing until then, was pretending to write an invoice on paypal where it does the calculation for you. ⁠
⁠
So ... this week I have learned not to be afraid to ask about learning new things. ⁠
⁠
We are all here to help each other by sharing our knowledge and expertise. ⁠
⁠
That's what makes the world go round, isn't it? How boring life would be if we all knew the same things!⁠
⁠
What would you like to know about sewing or crafting ... maybe something that you feel is a silly question. There's no such thing!⁠
⁠
Ask me in the comments below and I'll reply and help if I can.⁠

What is it about pandas?⁠
⁠
Another gorgeous make from one of our existing Sewing Club members.⁠
⁠
The pink on the reverse of the tie-tops looks stunning against the main fabric, doesn't it.⁠
⁠
This is one of many projects that we work through in the Sewing Club. ⁠
⁠
The best bit is seeing what everyone has created using their newfound skills! ⁠
⁠
We have a very active and supportive community within our members only Facebook group. ⁠
⁠
Claire is always on hand to offer advice and lots of encouragement.⁠
⁠
It's a great place to be!⁠

Where did my sewing passion begin? ⁠ ⁠ I had a

Where did my sewing passion begin? ⁠
⁠
I had a new baby at home, a husband who worked shifts and a part-time job. ⁠
⁠
There was no way I could get to ‘evening school’ to learn to sew. ⁠
⁠
I started by taking old bed sheets, table cloths, Tea towels (basically anything fabric that I could find cheap at a bootsale) and sewed up some really basic bunting, a few lavender sachets and pin cushions etc. ⁠
⁠
I soon got bored with that though and wanted to start making bags, boxes, things with pockets, zips and linings. ⁠
⁠
But where should I begin? ⁠
⁠
My learning went from library to blogs to YouTube and over the course of 11 years I learnt a lot but never really found the lessons I was looking for.⁠
⁠
In life, we often come up against blocks in the road to what we want to achieve. You can either let them stop you or find a way around them. ⁠
⁠
My hobby became my profession and shortcutting the learning journey of others became my passion. ⁠
⁠
If you’d like to shortcut your sewing journey, pop a comment below and I’ll reply personally. ⁠

Another Sew Beautiful Things club member make to brighten your Thursday morning!⁠
⁠
Here's what Emma had to say ... ⁠
⁠
"Next time Claire says “this project has a million options, you just have to choose which ones you want to do”. ⁠
⁠
Do not listen to the little sewing demon on your shoulder whispering “Do them all, all the options, everything, you neeeeed all the pockets! Oh and quilting, you definitely must have quilting and zips, all the zips in all the places!”⁠
⁠
😈😈 My little adventure became an Epic Quest, at points there may even have been Hobbits, but I’m happy with it and it has pockets, lots and lots of pockets!!!"⁠
⁠
There's such fun to be had in the Sewing Club ... a great online community who support each other and have lots of laughs along the way!⁠
