Instagram stories sale tomorrow!!
.
I’ve been having a bit of a sort out (I’ve started the spring cleaning already as the weather has been lovely! 🌞) and I’ve found lots of elastics, trims and other bits that I don’t think I’ll use.
.
So thought I’d offer them up and see if you all can get some use out of them! And here’s a little preview at what I’ve got. 🧵 👙
.
Meet me tomorrow on Instagram stories at 7.30pm GMT for the sale!

I’ve been super excited as my studio (and new wall!) has been having a makeover and I’m soo happy about the lovely light situation on my photos! I swear this red never photographed like this before! ☀️
.
The makeover isn’t finished yet but I’m getting in there ASAP with my videoing and photographing!! Who knew I could get so excited by a painted panelled wall! 😂 Most of the work has been done my lovely boyfriend. 🥰 I don’t think he even expected me to be this happy about it! 😃
.
Anyway... this is the Barbary Bralette in a lovely red organic cotton. ❤️

I made these Ivy knickers to use up some remnant fabric pieces that are not big enough for kits.
.
I love the natural coloured organic cotton ribbed jersey in the centre front and centre back panel paired with this lovely latte coloured lace.
.
However the jersey has quite different stretch qualities to a stretch jersey with Lycra in. This one does not have any in.
.
The width of the ribbed fabric is very stretchy but the stretch retention is not as strong as it contains no Lycra. The height however does not stretch at all!
.
If you are going to use this fabric this needs to be considered in the pattern otherwise the fit will be poor.
.
For this pair I took in 2 cm from the back and front centre and added 3cm to the height on both the front and back gusset seam.
.
This is actually still turned out a size bigger than I wanted so next time I will increase the amount I took away from the width and take away some of the amount I added to the height. (I added a bit too much!)
.
There is also a mathematical way this can be worked out so it’s more accurate which I use to change the stretch percentages of patterns, but that needs more explanation!
.
Perhaps a blog post on this would be handy for you?

Tip ✨
.
Does your sewing machine bobbin get jammed or knotty?
.
This used to happen all the time to me when I started sewing.
.
I went to a sewing class when I first starting sewing with a very experienced sewing tutor and she told us lots of helpful tips!
.
This one made such a big difference to my sewing experience.
.
✨Cut your straying threads as close as you can to the bobbin spool. ✨
.
This is because the needle will try to pick up the other straying threads on your spool as well as the one you want it to pick up as you sew, which will cause a jammed or knotty bobbin!
.
9/10 when my bobbin gets jammed it will be because of straying threads on my spool, so now I know how to fix it!
.
I hope this tip makes your sewing experience more enjoyable! 🧵✂️

Customer make ✨
.
I got sent this photo of these amazing Willow knickers by a very pleased customer. I had to share it as I absolutely love the black and white combination with that gorgeous spiderweb 🕸 fabric for the centre panel. The ruffle elastic just makes it too! 🖤
.
Find the Willow pattern on the Etsy shop, you can chose a printed or digital pattern.
.
The website is down right now as it’s getting a makeover, hopefully it will look all new and sparkly soon after I’ve sorted a ‘critical error’ out! 😅

Today I’ve been recording the ‘get to know me’ interview which I will share with you all tomorrow! If any of you have any burning questions that you want to know comment below and I’ll add it in!
.
In other news, I’ve updated one of the Bralette and knicker kits, I’ve added this beautiful corded stretch lace and I think it just makes it! ✨
.
The website is going in for a makeover this week so I’ve only updated it on the Etsy shop for now. 🖤

January is usually my behind the scenes updates and improvements month hehe, as I’m not usually too busy in terms of sales this month, so I’m taking this month to improve and update things on the shop and the physical studio (we’re giving it a makeover! 😃)
.
I’ve been wanting to improve my listing photos on my shop for a while but I was too busy before Christmas. So I’ve been trying out some things today to make things a bit more clearer when you’re browsing on my shop and seeing if the pattern is right for you. Instead of just photos and screenshots from my pattern I’ve combined the two to give you a more clearer idea of what you are getting.
.
I’ve been working on the printed Barbary pattern listing today, what do you think? Does this give you a clearer idea of the pattern?
