“Take your time. Stitching is inherently pretty slow, and I believe haste makes waste, so always take the time needed to really plan out your work, the colours, the materials, and the details. There seems to be pressure to create a million things these days, but it’s equally gratifying to take your time to create something you, or a lucky recipient, will truly treasure. Savour the process.” Sarah's book, Pen to Thread (Interweave, £17.99), is available to purchase from www.stitchcraftcreate.co.uk.

ONCE YOU HAVE FINISHED stitching your seam, it’s best to press it open on the wrong side so it lies flat. Sometimes it’s better to press it to one side to reduce bulk but the pattern instructions will tell you this. Usually the seam allowances are left as they are as they help to strengthen the seam, but sometimes they cause too much bulk so they are trimmed to half their original width. If your fabric has a tendency to fray you should neaten the raw edges after you have worked the seam. There are several ways of doing this. To machine-finish them, set your sewing machine to the zigzag stitch then stitch close to the raw edge all the way along. The zigzag must be small enough to stop…

LADDER STITCH Used to join together and close two turned-under edges invisibly, such as on a dress lining or soft toy. Bring the needle up at 1 on one side of the seam, then in at 2 on the opposite side and out at 3, so the stitch is 3mm (1/8in) long. Push the needle back in the opposite side at 4 and out at 5. Repeat this to close the edges. SLIP STITCH This stitch is used most often for hems where you need to stitch a turned-under edge to a flat piece of fabric using small, almost invisible stitches. Bring the needle up at 1 on the turned-under hem then back in at 2 and out at 3. Make this horizontal stitch as small as possible so it…

“EVERY NEW SEWING PROJECT seems to be my new favourite but if I have to choose one that goes above and beyond, I would pick my 2014 birthday dress. It’s a ‘costume’ based on the Brazilian festival Festa Junina, also known as Festa de São João. The pattern uses couture techniques and comprises the Burdastyle bustier 5/2011 127 and a By Hand London Flora skirt. A high-low hem was the perfect contrast for a boned bustier, and had enough volume to showcase the traditional fabric and create drama when dancing. The chita (a Brazilian traditional fabric made from cotton) has a cheap and cheerful character. I underlined both the outer fabric and lining with cotton. The four layers gave the bustier a better structure and body. For the corset I…

IT’S IMPORTANT TO CHOOSE the correct fabric for your pattern. Most patterns give suggested fabric types that will work best with the style of garment. Use this to guide you as some patterns need more drape, body or structure than others. Fabric can be made from natural fibres such as cotton, linen, wool and silk or synthetic fibres such as acetate, acrylic, nylon, polyester, rayon and viscose. All these fabric come in different weights, or thicknesses, which suit different garments. Lightweight fabrics are ideal for lingerie, nightwear and summer clothing, and include cheesecloth, chiffon, crepe-de-chine, georgette, lawn, muslin, organdie, organza and voile. Medium-weight fabrics, which work for dresses, shirts, trousers and childrenswear, include calico, cotton, crepe, dupion, linen, poplin and finer wool. Heavy-weight fabrics are used for garments or projects…

Most of us have heard the old adage that “there’s nothing new under the sun,” and in design I truly believe that every idea, every innovation, has an echo from the past. My zero-waste pattern design journey started as an experiment in sustainable innovation, but it soon became a lesson in historical garment construction. Zero-waste design can be complex, so it’s useful to refer to something well known; and the Japanese kimono is a great example. The kimono is made up of eight pieces, and is typically made from fabric woven with this specific end use in mind, at 35-40cm wide. When a kimono is constructed, there is zero fabric waste, and traditionally when it is washed the stitching is completely unpicked! Similarly, when starting a zero-waste design, the fabric…

Finish raw edges with a machine zigzag stitch or overlocking. CUTTING OUT When cutting out the squares and strips, you’ll find it a lot easier with a rotary cutter, ruler and cutting mat, as this fine fabric is quite slippery. Step one Cut the fabric into the following: Dress panels: 3 squares, 90x90cm (35½x35½in). Straps: 2 strips 6x57cm (2½x22½in). HEMMINGTHE DRESS PANELS Start by hemming the edges of the dress panels. Step one Fold the fabric under…

Sarah Watson first came to our attention when we spotted her beautiful book, Pen to Thread . We’ve since become ardent fans of her sketchy illustrations and quirky embroidery designs, which are ideal for adding personal touches to your sewing projects. Blending textiles and illustration felt like the natural choice for Sarah, growing up in Alabama, USA. “I’ve always drawn,” she says. “It’s been my hobby since I was little. I used to pick flowers from the garden, sit my pet bird on my shoulder, and draw for hours, or as long as the kitchen table was available!” Sarah’s love of textiles came later but is no less passionate. It emerged at the Savannah College of Art and Design. “A friend of mine noticed some stitched up shorts I had…

Learn the technique on page 65, and find the full alphabet ready for you to stitch on the pull-out pattern sheet.…

Machine-pieced patchwork is quicker to do and stronger than hand piecing, but it does have a different effect and is obviously not as portable as hand-piecing so can't be done while you're out and about. The best fabrics to use are closely woven, 100% cottons. They don’t fray much and are easy to cut and stitch together. Patchwork and quilting shops sell an amazing array of colours and patterns, usually in standard 112cm (44in) widths . PLANNING YOUR DESIGN Once you have chosen your fabric and decided on the pattern, the best thing to do is to draw a plan of your finished patchwork on graph paper. Add the measurements of each piece to this so you can see what the finished designs will look like. From this you need…

YOU WILL NEED 1 T-shirt: extra large Basic sewing kit NOTE Use a 1cm (3/8in) seam allowance. CUTTING THE T-SHIRT Step one Measure how long you would like the skirt to be from your child’s waist to the bottom of the hem. Step two Add 1cm (3/8in) to the top of this for a seam allowance. You won’t need to add any extra allowance to the bottom as you’ll be using the original hem of the T-shirt. Step three Cut the bottom of the T-shirt into a strip through both layers. The width of this strip needs to be the length of the skirt you’ve just calculated. Step four Measure around your child’s waist and add 1cm (3/8in) at either end for the seam allowance and a little extra for…

Preparing your fabric and cutting out your sewing pattern accurately is just as important as the actual sewing. Wash your fabric before you begin as fabric can shrink and run. Once dry, press it well. PREPARING THE PATTERN Patterns often come with several options of different finishes so you may have more pieces than you need. The instruction sheet will tell you which pieces to use. Roughly cut out all of the pieces outside the lines then press the pieces using a dry iron on a low heat to remove the folds and creases. CUTTING OUT THE PATTERN Choose your size using your measurements and the size chart. Cut along the corresponding lines on your pattern. When you reach any fiddly curves, take care to cut along the correct size…

FAT QUARTER A term used to describe a cut piece of fabric often used for patchwork projects, usually measuring 46x55cm (18x22in).
