Where to get Fabric for the Twin Made Workshop that you are attending!

Woo, you have booked yourself on to a Twin Made workshop and you may need to get fabric. Here are some places to take a look:

For Fabric Shops: Try Cardiff Market, Hobby Craft, The Pumping Station or IKEA. Sometimes Recreate Scrap Store has suitable fabric in stock

On-line:

Ikea have a Re-Shop and Re-Use section on their website which sometimes has suitable fabric. 

Fabric Land https://www.fabricland.co.uk/

https://brunswickmills.co.uk - Run + Fly Supplier

Minerva https://www.minerva.com/ - check postage time

https://www.fabricgiant.com - Printed Cord

I try and use as much unwanted fabric as possible. Turning tea Towels into shirts and leftover cord into jackets!

After each Twin made workshop you will keep hold of your pattern and have a guide so you can make lots more.

Give me a blanket, bed sheet and a tea towel and I will make you an amazing dress.

Here is a recent make.

A friend gave me a blanket, bed sheet and a tea towel and I made her this amazing dress. The blanket was an original St. Michael’s blanket and I keep the pink ribbon edging around the sleeve and dress hem. The front is a tea towel and to ensure a nice fit I created an elasticated bodice, with the bedsheet, on the back. I have also lines the dress with the bedsheet to make sure it doesn’t get itchy!

Twin Made Tip Top Sewing Tips!

During our works shops we share lots of tips on using a sewing machine, so if you have a sewing machine at home or wanted to get started or get back into the sewing seat?

Here are a few top tips to stop you throwing your sewing machine out of the window.

Tips for using your sewing machine:

Before sewing make sure there are two threads, one through the needle and one from the bobbin - make sure they are long and touch you desk - this stop the needle un-threading.

If moving the needle - get into a habit of turning the turning wheel towards you and towards you only, this will stop the threads from tangling.

When you have finished sewing and you move the fabric away from the machine, ensure the needle is up to its highest point. If more than one thread comes out of the bobbin holder, turn the turning wheel slightly and try again.
