Hi. I want to share what I'm making my 40 work colleagues...pen holders for our A5 note books. Since there is no money in the budget for gifts or year end parties, I'm working with what we have, note books, pens & a highlighter and sewing a pen holder for everyone

I couldn’t sleep last night, that Cape Town rain was a shocker, and to my surprise, the device cover I’ve been wanting to sew for over two years finally popped up on the app. I was so excited I even skipped church just to make this lol This was just a trial with scrap fabric, but once I add the batting and finish the real one, I’ll be back to show it off. Also, seriously, three young kids, pregnant with a fourth, and still posting tutorials and rocking that perfect nail in every video? Where do you even find the time for us? Thanks for the free content and endless motivation!!! You are truly my inspiration Christine ❤️

Hi lovelies Unfortunately I have to postpone the sew-along by a few days. What started as a head cold is now sounding suspiciously like bronchitis and my 7-months-preggo body is confined to bed rest right now! I'll post a new date soon, aiming to move it to Thursday and we can all spend the weekend sewing 😊 If you'd like to sew something in the meantime - you'll find an easy pillowcase project in the Sewing 101 course and the shorts sew-along in the classroom.

It's time for our FIRST official sew-along 🤩 We'll be sewing a reversible apron (with optional ruffle) and I'd love for you to join! 👉 Sew-along dates: 22–29 September 2025 👉 PDF pattern in sizes toddler - adult Here’s what to expect: - You’ll get the apron pattern for free during the sew-along week. This is one of the projects from the 2024 Pattern Archive in The Creative Sewing Club - I'll post here every day for that day's task. Steps are broken down into short tasks that take 20-30min, so you don't become overwhelmed and feel like it's a huge task! - You’ll sew something practical and fun that works as a great gift, or for yourself. 🚨IMPORTANT🚨 All sew-along videos, patterns and files will only be available until the 1st of October. After this date, it will be moved back to The Creative Sewing Club library. 📋 What You’ll Need FABRIC AND NOTIONS: Based on 148cm / 58" wide fabric - This apron is reversible but can be made single-sided.  - You can squeeze a large apron out of 1m | 1yd of fabric BUT I recommend buying at least a quarter or half m | yd more - you will use the scraps again and it makes cutting the straps easier. - YOU NEED AT LEAST 1 .5 | YD FOR ADULT SIZE IF YOU’RE ADDING THE OPTIONAL RUFFLE - For the kids apron sizes you will need about 0.5m | yd of fabric - Choose a fabric that washes well, like cotton, poplin, canvas, or linen. - You’ll also need 50cm (18”) of 2.5cm (1”) wide elastic for the neckband. 🎁 Win the Beginner’s Pattern Bundle Everyone who shares their finished apron in the Beginner’s Sewing Community will be entered to win the Beginner’s Clothing Pattern Bundle.
