Drumroll please...... This month we're diving into CASUAL JACKETS. Whether you're making a classic denim jacket, a cosy shacket, a bomber, chore jacket, utility jacket, anorak, or your own take on an everyday layer, this is your chance to build new skills while creating something you'll actually wear. Over the next few weeks we'll work through the project together using the 6-part framework, breaking the process into manageable stages so you can make steady progress without feeling overwhelmed. No matter where you're starting from, jump in, share your plans, and don't be afraid to ask questions. The whole point of Sewing Boss Learning Lab is to learn from each other and raise the standard of our sewing together. Let's make July the month everyone adds an incredible jacket to their handmade wardrobe! Image can be found here

As we come to the end of June, its time to decide on our project for next month. Collars can be fiddly, so how about we choose between a collared shirt, or a casual jacket. Tick one below

As we reach the end of our first themed month and the first full run through the framework, I'd love to hear your thoughts. What was your biggest win this month? What challenged you the most? What part of the framework helped you the most? What could be improved for next month? Is there anything you'd like to see included in future themed months? Every bit of feedback helps me make Sewing Boss even better. Thanks for being part of this first run. Answer below, or DM me 😊

And so our tshirt is complete! In this demo I show you how to sew - a neck band - a neck bind - the hem and what to do with the overlocking tail - and the importance of top stitching and pressing The camera angles are a little different as I was trying the webcam, but I am working on having two cameras so you can see more. I didn't realise the audio was funny while the machine was in use, so thats why my voice cuts out a few times. What can I say, this is a work in progress and I appreciate you all. I do disappear off camera to use the overlocker towards the end, but I promise I do come back 😆

When we've lost all motivation with our sewing, we often refer to it as losing our "sewing mojo" and we feel a bit let down by the thing we love. Until now!!! I made a fun interactive tool for you to play with called the Sewing Mojo Reset. Click on the link, you may be prompted to start a Claude account, but I am working on adding it to the website to eliminate that step. Its not using AI when you use it, its just where I built it. https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/30043656-1d73-4af4-8b25-133280a66cfc Theres a video walk through below also. Let me know what results it gives you!
