Sew-Alongs & Online workshops





What is the difference between a sew-along and an online workshop?

A sew-along is when a group of people all work on the same project.  Instructions are distributed electronically, in bite-sized chunks, over a set period of time.  The beauty of a sew-along is that participants don’t have to all be in the same location.  They can use social media or an online forum to post questions, pictures or discussion points.  Once a sew-along is complete,  instructions can be accessed at any time via the links below 

An online workshop is similar to a sew-along.  The difference is that all instructions are made available at the beginning of the workshop, rather than being doled out a bit at a time.  Instructions for each online workshop will be available for a finite time.

    Do you love the look of a couture-style cardigan jacket (the classic Chanel-inspired design) but dread the thought of spending hours hand-sewing? The Chic & Easy Cardigan Jacket is the perfect alternative. In this Sew-Along, you’ll learn how to adapt your favourite T-shirt pattern to create a cardigan using textured knit fabric, with a partial lining in the back.  Complete the look with patch pockets or faux welt pockets and finish it with decorative trim of your choice.

    A good machine-sewn buttonhole has a two-part goal: It should emulate fine ready-to-wear, and it ought to stand up over time without fraying or gaping.

    Topics covered:

    • Components of a buttonhole and how to adjust the stitches for different fabrics
    • Types of buttonholes and choosing the correct one for your fabric
    • Choosing the right thread
    • Compensating for thick fabric
    • Using stabilisers
    • Automatic vs manual buttonholes
    • Cutting open a buttonhole
    • Unpicking a buttonhole that didn’t work

    For most projects, the buttonholes are the last detail, a scary prospect if you’re nervous about making a mistake at the end. We’ll explore how to confidently sew them as a project’s finishing touch.
