Hi Everyone, Hope you are all having a lovely December and aren't feeling too frazzled!! 

Sorry I have been pretty quiet here the last few months but I am making plans to come back with regular videos really soon - the overthinking monster got me!

But I have been really busy growing our amazing FREE sewing community over on ThreadySetGo.com which has been so lovely. I am loving getting to know you all there and so excited for it to keep growing in 2026.

If you aren't a fan of social media or you're setting yourself a goal in the New Year to spend less time scrolling and more time sewing whilst being part of an actual community then check out what we are doing over at ThreadySetGo.com, it's pretty special!


Which of these speak to you right now?

Have you joined the free online sewing community at ThreadySetGo.com yet?

I am so bored of Meta dictating our lives, of algorithms keeping me doomscrolling and constantly chasing likes and views... it doesn't help me, my life or anymore... my business!

I want community, real connections with people who share my passion and joy for sewing. Somewhere free from AI and algorithms where we can actually discuss sewing plans, wins and woes, offer help and advice and share recommendations.

How about you?

If you feel the same way, if you are someone who enjoys sewing, you NEED to join ThreadySetGo - it's completely free to join!

Tell me something that you think is over- or under-rated in the sewing world! I’ll go first… using clips instead of pins - overrated!! I get it on heavier fabrics or bag making when there’s lots of layers. But on any other fabric they are horrible!

How do you prefer to finish necklines?

I asked you a couple of days ago what you do to get your "sewjo" back. The majority said organising and tidying their sewing space was the best way, followed by sewing an old faithful pattern. But only a small percent said sewing a new pattern or joining a sewing social. I agree sometimes that sewing a new pattern you haven't tested out before can be a bit daunting but when you add in the support and encouragement of a sewing group - that's when it starts to get good!

This month at ThreadySetGo.com we are sewing the S.O Sew Dressmaking Emily dress and top, there's support in the forum, you can pop into our regular virtual sewing socials to ask questions or share thoughts and of the best bit... our wrap up party at the end of the month where you can be "in the audience" as I chat to the designer and other special guests. Actually, that's not the best bit... because I forgot to mention that you can do all of this for as little as a £5 monthly membership! Take a look at my Emily dress in this video and let me know if you're going to join us and give it a go!
