My latest project! Finally I’ve updated my mos My latest project! Finally I’ve updated my most worn bralette! It was embarrassing deteriorated after I wore it so much 😳 This is my Barbary Bralette pattern which I’ve added side darts to! It’s just sooo comfy 🤤 and exactly the reason I love making my own wardrobe! Enjoy! Update- I made the back smaller and sorted out the bulk in the dart seams and it’s perfect 🤩 #sewyourownclothes #sewyourown #sewcomfy #naturalfabrics #lingeriemaykers #lingeriesewing #sewprojects #barbarybralette #makeyourownclothes
As you may have seen in November, I decided to tak As you may have seen in November, I decided to take a pause on Sew projects. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do but I knew I needed some time to figure things out. I’ve since come to the conclusion to close all Sew Projects courses at this moment in time. Sew projects patterns will continue to be available on the Payhip shop though! I will be cancelling the course platform after the 5th of February, which is where I hold all my courses on. With this said you have one last chance to purchase the courses and either work through it in the next month and/or you can download the lessons so you can continue your learning after the course platform closes. And as there will be only a short time period to go through the course, I’ve decided to make all courses 50% off to honour this. This also means there is only one single payment option so I will not be doing payment plans and you will have access to all content after purchase (there will be no delayed content.) 👉 Use the code LAST CHANCE to get access to the courses at 50% off one last time! Offer expires on midnight the 29th of January. Please be aware the course platform will be closing on the 5th of February so please complete the courses by then or download the content before hand! (The same goes for support on courses too!) 🌟 Browse the courses via the link in bio! On a personal note this has been a very hard decision after all the hard work I have put into the courses but I know it’s the right time for them to end now. Plus I’m still keeping the pattern shop open, so who knows 😃 To all my subscribers, thank you for supporting me and for those especially who have bought my courses, it honestly means the world to have your support and to know that you’ll have these invaluable skills for a lifetime fills me with so much joy! The bestest of wishes for the new year! #sewyourown #diyunderwear #diylingerie #sewingcourse #sewprojects #diybra #makebra #makeyourownclothes #lingeriesewing #comfyundies #sewingpatterns
I started sew projects in 2019 Tbh I started it b I started sew projects in 2019 Tbh I started it because I wasn’t in the physical condition to be at the sewing machine everyday with my handmade lingerie brand. So I thought if I can’t make it, I can help others make their own! And it worked The amount of beautiful creations you have all created for yourself with the help of my tools has been absolutely amazing! 🥰 But now things are changing and it’s time to take a pause. I don’t know if that means forever or just a little while but I’m at a time in my life where I need to focus to be able to move to the next place in life (metaphorically and physically!) Instead of doing everything and wondering why I can’t sleep at night. 😅 So I’ll be focussing on helping businesses over at @yelenadesigns But there is one last treat I want to leave you with before I take a pause and I’ll come to that in just a mo but first I want to let you know what this means… -This means I won’t be offering anything new -I won’t be having any discounts on my courses and patterns -I probably won’t be too active -I won’t be restocking physical supplies such as period panty kits and lingerie making supplies. Once they are gone, they are gone. However… -You will still be able to purchase patterns, supplies and courses -I will be showing you my personal makes because I have many I want to do! ☺️ So I’ll still be here but it will be a little bit different until I’ve decided fully what’s best. So that’s that. Ok so getting back to the final treat… You’ll have one last chance to get courses and patterns at a special price with the Black Friday sale! 😃 I was in 2 minds about this but I really do want to treat you all before I take some time away. And no my prices have not been inflated for the Black Friday sale 😇 So if you have been eyeing up my courses or patterns but haven’t been able to purchase them yet then now’s the time to get them at a special price! Make sure you are signed up to my email list to get access to the the Black Friday sale tomorrow. The link is in the bio. Lastly, thank you for all your incredible support 🙏 🥹 Yelena x

Once you’ve sewn you’re own period pants you’ll never look back! 🙌 When I first began creating lingerie garments about 13 years ago I could have never imaged that I would have been able to sew something for myself that completely transformed my relationship with my menstrual cycle, but I did! 🩸✨ In 2019, I had bought some re-useable pads because I loved the idea of being more eco friendly and trying something I’d never tried before to see if they were more comfortable, and whilst I did like them, I didn’t don’t love them. They were quite bulky They felt wet quite quickly after wearing them for only a short time They were made of more synthetic fabric that I would have liked So, I took this idea and completely unlevelled it create the best home sewn period pants I could! 🤩 👉They don’t leak 👉They don’t feel wet 👉They fit me perfectly 👉I can change them to suite my flow And because I loved them so much I decided to make them available for everyone! 🥰 And now I’m on a mission to help as many women as possible create their own period pants to have the comfortable cycle they deserve... So I created a complete course where, even if you are a beginner sewer, you can sew your own perfect period pants and enjoy the amazing benefits that I and many of my customers have had. 🙌 So if you want to be lounging around in the most comfortable period wear on your next period, then grab yourself a spot on the perfect period pants course… And for a limited time only there’s a massive 50% off the usual price! 🙀 Grab your spot in the link in bio ✌️ #periodpants #greenperiod #sewingunderwear #sewyourownclothes #sustainablesewing #diyunderwear #diyclothes #sewprojects #menstrualhygiene #cyclicalliving #menstrualhealth #sewyourselfsustainable #sewyourownwardrobe #beginnersewer #sewingprojects #toxicfreelife #organicperiodproducts #reuseableproducts #reusablelife
It’s completely possible to have a period where It’s completely possible to have a period where you feel fully protected in your underwear alone so that you don’t have to dread going out with the thought of leaks and uncomfortableness but you haven’t made the switch to me made period pants yet because.. 1. You’re skeptical about me-made period products I totally get this because I was so skeptical about me-made period pants, thinking no they can’t work, they need to be manufactured by a big company so they work properly with all the technical materials they need. I was well and truly wrong! Yes you can 100% make your own period pants and IMO they work better than shop bought ones because you can make them suite your body exactly! 👌 2. You’re worried you don’t have the skills If you are a beginner sewer I totally understand. But period pants are much easier to sew then you’d think! And even if the first ones aren’t perfect you can make another one and I bet you they will be more than twice as good! Don’t put your skills down! You can do so much more than you think you can! 3. You’re worried about toxic chemicals in period pants Yep this a big one! There have been some brands to have known to have toxic chemicals in such as PFAS and high levels of silver and this is why with creating your own you have much more control over this, because you can choose your own fabrics! This is also why I curated period panty kits in organic cotton and other amazing fabrics so you can have the best toxic free period pants! So if you’re ready to sew yourself your comfiest period wear yet, stay tuned because this Sunday I’ve got an amazing discount coming so you can do exactly that! 🙌 🩸 🍃 #diylingerie #lingeriesewing #sewingkits #periodpants #greenperiod #beginnersewing #sewyourown #makeyourownclothes #sewingshop #sewingsupplies #sustainablesewing #ecoperiod #sustainableclothes #menstrualproducts #sustainablefashion #periodpositive
