@rkidderreads So often how we learn the importance of sewing details. I thought zips were over-rated as a teen so used to see myself into trousers. Learnt the hard way on a pub crawl why I need to master the zip! 😂

Shirt plackets are fiddly & conceptually tricky to master.BUT, they do add a polish to your garment making, elevating your clothes to a more professional level.

So, do you love them, or loathe them? Or maybe you’re yet to try one?

3 reasons to learn to sew!

#1- smugly saying “yes I made this” when asked about your lovely stuff.
#2- making whatever it is you want, rather than buying only what is available
# - making time for yourself away from the hustle of workday productivity

Planning some summer sewing over the weekend? Stretch fabric is super comfy, but can feel a little scary when it’s a new to you fabric. Here’s my top tips for sewing with stretchy fabrics

@AngelaBarnes Same! Went out in Tamworth last night in sandals and a summer dress after leaving london in scorching heat. It was pouring with rain and I ended up like a drowned rat! 😂
