A collection of some of our favourite sewing goodies!
Sewing, as we all know, is one of the most important activities ever! And now, during the current pandemic, the rest of the world has also caught up. People sewing scrubs and masks are just the tip of the iceberg as it were during the lockdown period.
Upcycling, sewing your own clothes – and of course the current backlash against fast fashion – have become more widespread than at any time over the last couple of generations. New sewists, returning sewists, and those who never went away are spending time creating a whole range of wonderful things. Which all means that the desire for hints, tips and tutorials is massive!
We post loads of these on our GUR Twitter and Facebook accounts – so Subscribe and Like to keep up-to-date with them.
In the meantime, we thought we’d bring a whole lot of sewing goodness together for you – all in one place. If you like this, let us know and we’ll do some more.
Enjoy!
