The picture says it all really. New year, new start, let's get going :) For anyone interested in joining the course I am building, you can find the link for Patreon in my bio. I am going to be teaching slow stitch textile sculpture, so you can expect a gentle pace, minimal equipment, and nothing too complicated. Patience, and a love for process art, are essential requirements ❤️ Xx #slowstich #artcourse #sewingcourse #animalart #slowstitching #mindfulstitching #craftcourse #learntosew #learnonline #trysomethingnew #learntogrow #artonpatreon #artfeedsthesoul #visualarts #britishart #wiltshireart #learntosculpt #textileart #fiberart #fibreart #visualarts #salisburyartscene #britishatist #doglover #animalartist #sculptureartist #dogart #animalart #artoninstagram #craftersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm4LV3woYhv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Super simple rolled hem tutorial for you! I'm not the most experienced seamstress, but I'm self-taught and somehow manage! 😂 Wanted to share this for everyone who's asked for more sewing tips.⁣ ⁣ Mine ended up a bit wider than I wanted, closer to 3/16" when I intended 1/8". The fabric I used is a slippery Chiffon, and will be for a sheer tunic-dress- thing for Venusaur. Chiffon is a notoriously finicky and difficult to work with fabric, but sometimes that's what ya need for your cosplay!⁣ ⁣ A rolled hem is possibly the most standard way to hem this material. By using this hem, you encase the raw edges of the fabric entirely to prevent fraying.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #sewing #sewingtutorial #cosplaytutorial #cosplaysewing #cosplaytips #sewingtips #learntosew #chiffondress #rolledhem #fashionsewing #sewingfun #sewist #easysewing ⁣#handmadewithjoann https://www.instagram.com/p/CAgYuokDO4f/?igshid=13vf7tffnnssy

It’s #fashionrevolution week so let’s take an extra minute to reflect on where our clothing comes from and how it’s made. Five years ago today a clothing factory in the Savar Upazila district of Bangladesh collapsed killing 1,134 people many of whom were garment workers. The industries designed to bring us cheap, disposable clothing also treat laborers as cheap and disposable. In 2016 I decided to stop buying clothing from box stores and while I haven’t been perfect, I’ve definitely managed to break the shopping habit. Here I am wearing a handmade bra/underwear and ZEBRA PANTS. 🦓🦓🦓 (The fabric for which I’ve *definitely* had in my stash since SEPTEMBER. 😳) Want to learn to make your own clothes? I’m teaching First Time Sewing at @textilesatlillstreet starting in just a couple weeks! If learning to sew isn’t an easy path for you, check out fair trade or zero waste fashion companies like @matatraders and @tonledesign 💙💙💙 #whomademyclothes #imademyclothes #sashatrousers #zebrapants #learntosew #illteachyou #itllbegreat #fairtrade #fairtradefashion #zerowastefashion

**EXCITING NEW EVENT!** Do you love #sewing?! Perhaps you have a #sewingproject you need help with? Are you having trouble fitting that dress to your shape? Not sure how to achieve the desired result or know where to start? Want to know how to get a more professional finish? Or maybe you just need an excuse to get out of the house and make time for yourself to do what you love, in a dedicated #sewingstudio with like-minded people (let’s be honest, life does have a habit of getting in the way and sometimes we need an ‘event’ or deadline to get us doing what we wanted to do anyway). Come and join in our brand new #SewingDay and get all the help and support you need from Lowana O’Shea as you work on your individual projects. This ‘Sewing Day’ is intended to be fun, casual and full of the shared enjoyment of sewing. Bring along anything you’re working on (or wanting to start) and give yourself the excuse to get some serious work done on it. Join us this Sunday 29th October from 11am - 4pm. Class limited to 6 students.
