Twin Made How to and Top Tips for Cross Stitching

We have been adding lots of our cross stitch patterns to our Twin Made Shop. Our patterns are often inspired by people, politics and podcasts.

Our Fuck this Shit pattern has been flying out. The design was based on a large felt wall hanging we made and I though it was crying out to become a fun and colourful pattern to stitch up.

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.

International Women's Day Alternative Crafternoon!

We celebrated International Women's Day with an Alternative Crafternoon! There was not a cup of tea or slice of cake in sight! Instead we choose to raise up the women around us with lots of fun crafts: stitch your own protest signs, glittery tampon earrings, vulva paintalong and more!

Wicked Women’s Institute, Geetlush and I, asked the awesome creative community of Cardiff and received over 25 raffle prizes and with all the ticket sales and raffle tickets sold, we raised £320 for Welsh Women’s Aid - which has absolutely blown my mind!

Resident of O Dan//Under\\Nos Da. Rou’s Ink created a tattoo flash sheet and donated a portion of each to our total amount raised.

Caitlin also joined us with her new pop up shop specialising in fiction/non fiction/zines from marginalised voices! Social links coming soon!

We would like to thank:
