Join me as I show you how to thread your needle on your vintage singer 99k hand crank sewing machine 🪡 🧵 PSA - Mine is a very old sewing machine model - 1935, and threads left to right. But the later models are normally threaded right to left so make sure you check for your specific age machine…

This started out as a fun little sewing project - four words: Brave. Brilliant. Beautiful. Badass. But the more I look at them, the more they start to mean something different. I’ve been in my thoughts a lot lately, and with everything going on in the world, I’ve found myself thinking about the…

YOU CHOSE THE LAYOUT 👀 Last week I put a few options on my stories and asked you which layout I should use for this backpack pocket… And this was the winner. 🏆 I’ve made a couple of tweaks and I’m slightly obsessed with all the little fussy-cut details. I mean… look at them 🥹 Swipe through for…

I need your help! These gorgeous rainbow hexies will be a pocket for a bag and i can’t decide which layout I should sew 🤔 Please leave a comment and let me know which you would choose 🙏🏻 #hexie #sewing #rainbow #sewingproject #helpmechoose

Before pressing ➡️ After pressing 👀 It might feel like an extra step when you just want to keep sewing, but taking the time to press your seams makes such a difference. ✨ Flatter blocks ✨ More accurate piecing ✨ Easier matching of seams ✨ A much neater finished quilt Sometimes you don’t realise…

Over the Rainbow Quilt update 🌈✂️🧵 Sometimes a project is just too good not to stop and lay it all out… even when you’ve only got 21 of the 49 blocks finished! 😍 I needed to see a little glimpse of what this is going to look like when it’s all finally pieced together — and honestly, it’s better…

Nobody: Absolutely nobody: Me: “I wonder if I can make this FPP letter… but really, really tiny?” 🤔 Because apparently regular-sized FPP wasn’t stressful enough. 😂 Tiny pieces. Tiny seams. Tiny amounts of patience. And somehow… it worked?! 🥹✂️ Would you attempt this or have you got more sense than…

A little bit of FPP… but make it MINI! 🥹🧵 I’m on to a new project and I’ve scaled it down to a teeny tiny version. Because apparently regular-sized FPP wasn’t fiddly enough 😂 🧩 Pattern - Skinny Letters by @happysewlucky (resized by me) ✂️ Fabric - Speckled by @rubystarsociety 🗒️ Paper…

It’s day 6 of the @greatbritishquilter challenge, and this one was hard! How are we supposed to choose just three favourite sewing notions? 🫣 But if you really made me choose, these would be my top picks: 📌 Pins – for nesting seams and getting those lovely sharp points. 📏 A small ruler with a ¼”…

Day 5 of the @greatbritishquilter Instagram challenge… and I’ve surprised myself by still being here! 😂 (only just though!) I’m cheating a little with this prompt though, because this isn’t a quilt. 🫣 🪡 This is my Undercover Makers Mat, which I made about 3 or 4 years ago (how has it been that…

It’s day 4 of the @greatbritishquilter challenge hosted by @thatssewkerry and @suzanne.campion and the topic is top tip! My top sewing tip? ⏳ Slow down….. Enjoy the process. Spend time choosing your fabrics, whether that’s pulling from your stash or finding an excuse to buy more! Savour every…

This may seem obvious to those of you who are more experienced sewers, but I really wish someone had told me this the first time I made half square triangles. 📐✂️🧵🪡 #sewingtipsandtricks #halfsquaretriangles #keepitsimple #sewinghacks #sewing

If the weather won’t bring any sunshine, I’ll just have to make my own. 🌈✂️☀️ Today’s job: cutting rainbows while the Cornish mizzle rolls by outside 🌧️💧💨 #sewingismytherapy #cornishmizzle #rainbowfabrics #sewingday #cornwalllife

✨ Pretty quilt blocks. ✨ A beautiful old machine. ✨ And the steady rhythm of a hand crank sewing machine turning fabric into something special. Sometimes the best view in the sewing room is right here. 😍 #vintagesingersewingmachine #chainpiecing #mindfulsewing #slowmaking #enjoytheprocess

The satisfaction of watching a block come together 😍🧡💛 #thesewingsloth #epp #englishpaperpiecing #slowstitching #sewinglife

Ok so confession time - you are supposed to just pick your four patch blocks at random and sew any two to snow ball blocks to make a larger block. BUT me being me wants to control how it looks so I’m laying mine out to choose exactly where each 4 patch block will go 😅🙈 What would you do? Random…

With a change in the weather ☀️ ➡️ ☔️ it’s time to retreat indoors and return to some sewing 🪡 🧵 I WILL finish this quilt before starting another project…. I promise 😅🤞🏻😂 #patchwork #sewing #tulapinkfabric #quiltblock #traintracksquilt

POV - you are mid way through a sewing project and it’s been a couple of months since you did any sewing. But it’s ok, becuase you clearly labelled everything so you know exactly which side to sew!! 🙌🏻🥳 #sewistsoftiktok #sewinglove #organisation #patchwork #quiltblock

Dearest Gentle Readers, It is with the greatest delight that I announce the newest and most distinguished addition to the household… a most exquisite Singer Featherweight 221K.

Slow stitching, one hexie at a time 🪡🌈 This is your sign to sit down and pick up some hand sewing to calm your busy mind 🦥✨ #slowstitching #englishpaperpiecing #epp #whipstitch #sewing

Proof that sewing is 50% cutting ✂️ (and makes for great ASMR 😉) I know for some cutting is their least favorite part, but for me it is oddly satisfying turning that big piece of fabric into lots of little squares. 🧵 🦥 🌈 Cutting or Sewing? Let me know if the comments which you prefer ✂️ 🪡 #asmr…

Another hexie block sewn together for my Over the Rainbow Quilt. 🪡🧵🌈20 blocks done 💪🏻 21 more to go 🤪 #englishpaperpiecing #epp #quilt #handsewing #slowstitching
