Cutest lil’ Halloween upcycle last night, making pumpkins out of leftovers from the studio floor and an old lumpy pillow (which my other half’s glad to see the back of!)
Some very glamorous creations to ease us into the season! 🎃😌🎃

Learn to Sew - Garment making is back! This time we’re trialing it as it as a 3 hour class for 4 weeks (as opposed to 2hr x 6wks). Starting next Thursday 22nd September!
Pick a simple pattern or choose one from our vintage pattern collection, & make sure you pick some suitable fabric - I’d avoid anything slippery, stretchy or very fine for your first project!

The crotch patch is probably the most popular of all our repairs but here’s the thing - to get your jeans to the distressed level we all like, that area is already worn out before you’ve bought them. These are brand new (DESIGNER) jeans and you can already see the hole!
If you want to extend their life from word go, pop a patch before wearing and it will protect the area.
New pair jeans = £100
Protective patch = less than a tenner
The Dressmaker’s Daughter will show you how at our weekly Wednesday morning repair cafe.
If you’re gonna scratch, get a patch! 😜🤣🤣🤣
Men, eh? 🤷♀️🙄😂

Roughly translated as ‘Little Stabs’, it was traditionally used by women from farming and fishing families to mend and extend the life of worn fabrics, whilst embellishing everyday items.
These are some examples from yesterday’s class with Beverley J Studio
