Easter monday, weather was not good, so i decided to practice with sewing. This time i made a zippered coin pouch.

Using fabric from an old t-shirt. Any suggestion/advice on how to improve?

Eine Arbeitshose für den Sohn! Sie ist irgendwie etwas groš und schlabberig geraten ABER der Fake Reißverschluss und die Säume der Beine gefallen mir sehr!!!

New #sewing experiment (I'm learning how to use a #sewingmachine).
I tried to make a #laptopbag with #wonderwoman #fabric.
I'm new to the sewing world, and I have a lot to learn, so apologies for all the imperfections, especially the zipper! But I'm happy that i managed to finish it. Here the full story (free): ko-fi.com/post/Long-time-no--s

Another weekend project, this time a #sewing one. It is a small pouch for my girlfriend. Since it it my second sewing machine project, lot of things are imperfect, and even an untrained eye can find lot of problems. But it was a complex project for me, so i'm happy with the result. All details here: ko-fi.com/post/Another-sewing- (free post)

Small pouch, hand made. Fabric patter is some cute bunny heads with a ribbon on one of the ears. There are flowers and hearts between.

We're all about saving things from landfill so it's wonderful to see workshops like the visible mending workshop from Eto happening.

Learn to repair your clothes to make them last longer and make them unique too!

The workshop is £6 and taking place on Thursday 18th July at Eto on Holton Road in Barry.

Another week another new hobby! XD
Recently i decided to put to a use a sewing machine i bought couple of years ago, and i had no idea how to use it! I made a small pouch as experiment it was my first sewing project. As usual faced several problems, but i think that the result is decent! Still lot to learn!

I've been learning how to make these fabric basket things. I've made about 3 or 4 of them and I think this is the best one in terms of seam matching and stitches. I'm really happy with it. This one is a gift for my sister as she loves #puffins !

#sewing #sew #creative #LearnToSew

A fabric basket or container. The inside lining is grey fabric with puffins. The outer fabric is bright pink fabric with puffins.

I bought some PVC fabric. Basically that stuff used for tablecloths. I thought I'd try to make a wipeable washbag to get used to #sewing different fabrics. Do I need a special needle for my machine?

I haven't done any #sewing since before Christmas. My #LearnToSew class hasn't started up again (yet) so I'm feeling abit uninspired ☹ I bought a couple of scraps of fabric at the weekend so I'll try and make something with them.
My skills limit me to pouches, bags etc.

Two pieces of fabric. One is plain silver and very sparkly. The other I grey with pattern of butterflies and multicoloured triangles.

Just finished making these box pouches. I'm fairly confident with them now so I think it's time to move on and learn something else. I'm particularly pleased with the stripey one as it's made from an old napkin and I managed to get it symmetrical! 😇

Three fabric box pouches/bags with a sewing machine in the background. 
Pouch 1 is the smallest and its grey and pink stripes.
Pouch 2 is pink with printed outlines of a cartoon bunny rabbit.
Pouch 3 is grey with white spots.

Before last night's power cut, I just managed to finish the zippered make up pouch. This was the one cut from the pattern. Altogether it was very tricky to assemble and the edging/binding was the final part. I struggled! Unpicked several times, stuck pins in my fingers and got spots of blood on the piece. But I got there in the end 😂

A small zippered make up pouch. The fabric is blue and white floral pattern with a blue contrasting zip.

Tonight at #LearnToSew class I nearly finished my bag/pouch from a pattern. I just need to sew the bias binding on and then it's done. My tutor helped ALOT but at least I understand the pattern terminology a little better.
(Rosey the cat approves!)

#LearnToSew with a pattern. It's just a simple zip bag but the pattern makes it seem so much harder. I hope I got the 'fold' right (I assume that meant fold the fabric under to cut 2 pieces?!). I'll cut out the pieces now to take to my #sewing class and get some help with reading the pattern.

Fabric laid out with sewing pattern pieces over the top. Ready to cut out.

My finished box pouch! The one with hidden seams. There's a few errors here and there but not bad for my first attempt 😍

A fabric pouch with a zip. The outside is green tropical plant leaves pattern and the interior is plain green.

I finished my first boxed pouch with no raw seams inside. It was a little tricky but very satisfying once finished! It's going to be a Christmas present for a friend so I hope she likes it. Photos to follow but in the meantime here is the #YouTube video I followed
