MY FAVOURITE THING I started sewing when I was around eight years old. I remember trying to figure out a sewing machine on my own with the manual and making a pillowcase. But I didn’t properly start sewing until I was 17 when I fell in love with the Textiles department at college. This love really escalated, and I decided I wanted to become a costume maker, namely in special effects. So, I went to London College of Fashion and did a costume and special effects degree, which led me to making creature costumes for over 20 years. As we are talking about our favourite thing, people often ask which my favourite costume was to make. It’s such a hard choice, but I did love making Iggle Piggle for In…

Those new to machine sewing may have only ever used the universal needle, but it isn’t always the right one for every project. Sewing with the appropriate needle for thread, fabric and stitch type can help prevent stitching problems and broken needles. Janome have specific needles for all your sewing needs, which you can see in more detail in their downloadable accessories’ booklet at www.janome.co.uk/feet-and-acc-catalogue. THE ANATOMY OF A NEEDLE NEEDLE SIZE GUIDE SIZING IT UP Needles are labelled with two numbers – the larger number is the European metric size, and the smaller number is the American size. The lower the number, the finer the needle. NEEDLE TYPES Needles differ by the shape of the point, eye and shaft thickness. Here, we take you through 12 of the common…

When you’re struggling to master a seam or a fabric isn’t playing ball, a specialist presser foot could be the solution. In this guide, we’re looking at the different types of presser feet for inserting zips. Zips are often the most feared closure for beginner dressmakers, but using a specialist zip foot can save you a lot of stress! Here, we talk you through four different types of zip feet and how to use them. TOP TIPS Chosen the right presser foot? Follow these tips for stress-free zip insertion. 1 Always check which type of presser foot you need for your specific machine. Our machine takes clip-on feet which are common with modern electric and computerised machines. Some machines will have feet that need to be screwed into place and…

Starting out on your sewing journey will inevitably lead to your first sewing machine. The machine comes with a range of accessories which will help you conquer most projects, and additional accessories won’t be essential in the beginning until you’ve got the hang of the machine and mastered the basics. The foot that will come attached to your machine will be the standard presser foot. This foot is designed to be a jack of all trades; it can perform a chunk of the basic stitches and will be the foot that you get the most use out of by far. WHAT STITCHES CAN THE FOOT SEW? The standard foot can be used to sew a range of the most frequently used stitches including straight stitch, zigzag stitch, and three-step zigzag…

Hems are the crucial finishing touch for every garment and many home sewing projects, so it’s important to choose, work, and finish them properly. A hem is where the edge of a piece of cloth is folded and sewn to prevent unravelling of the fabric and to adjust the length. They can be worked by machine or by hand – here, we show you how to hem using your sewing machine. We’ve covered the most popular hem types and shared some tips. CHECKING THE LENGTH Try your garment on and check you are happy with the length of the hem. It is best to make any adjustments to the length gradually and keep checking. You can always make the garment shorter, but it’ll be harder to lengthen it if you…

Overlockers are machines used to finish raw fabric edges. They have grown in popularity in the last 50 years since domestic overlockers have become widely available and affordable to the home sewist. For complete beginners to dressmaking, there are lots of stitches available on a domestic sewing machine (such as zigzag and overcast stitch) that can be brilliant for finishing raw edges and making sure garments last a long time. However, many sewists are interested in overlockers as they bring a professional level of finishing to garments in a quick and easy manner. As well as producing a series of stitches over the raw edge, overlockers also cut away the raw edge of the fabric as you sew for a neat and precise finish. You can also use an overlocker…

HOW TO MEASURE YOURSELF ACCURATELY ALWAYS MEASURE YOURSELF BEFORE you choose a pattern size to cut out. The sizes do vary greatly from pattern to pattern, so it’s always best to measure yourself accurately and then refer to the pattern’s size chart to find your size. The chart will usually be printed on the pattern envelope or on the instructions inside. Measure yourself in your underwear and preferably in the bra you’ll be wearing underneath your garment as this can alter the measurements slightly. Use a fabric tape measure as it’ll curve around your body well for accuracy. You can measure on your own if you stand in front of a mirror, but, for best results, ask a friend to help so they can check the tape measure is sitting…

Alongside your sewing machine and your fabric, thread is one of the most essential parts of any project. It can be tempting to overlook thread and use a bad quality one or a spool that you’ve had in your stash for years, but using the correct thread for your project is important, as is using good-quality thread. Many of us will select thread simply by searching for a colour to match our fabric, but understanding the different types of thread and their compositions is crucial to achieve a smooth stitch. CHOOSING YOUR THREAD Although an all-purpose polyester thread will work well on most material, the general rule is to use the same type of thread as the fabric. So, for example, if you’re sewing with 100% cotton material, use 100%…

INSERTING A REGULAR ZIP Step one Finish the raw edges of the fabric pieces where the zip will be inserted using your preferred method. 01 Step two Stitch the seam from the hem up to the point where the zip will end. Backstitch at the start and end to secure the stitches. Step three Machine tack the rest of the seam with the longest stitch length on your machine. 02 Step four Press the seam open. Step five With the wrong side (WS) of the…

When working with commercial sewing patterns, you will often be instructed to ‘finish the raw edges’ before or after sewing the seams. The stitch type you choose to finish the raw edges of a garment with will affect the appearance of a seam, the garment’s overall life-span and its comfort when worn. There are many ways to finish a raw edge – pinking shears, zigzag stitching and binding are just a few – but overlocking has become a firm favourite as it provides a quick-to-sew, long-lasting and professional-looking finish. While overlockers were once the preserve of clothing factories, in the last 50 years domestic overlocking machines have become widely available and more affordable, making them appealing to home sewists. For many stitchers, however, deciding whether to purchase an overlocker in…

In this book, Great British Sewing Bee judge Patrick Grant explains his journey through fashion and why he’s putting money into a sustainable future I have a faded plum-coloured 1980s sweatshirt that my granny gave me not long before she died. She found it in the charity shop in which she worked and knew I’d like it, so she bought it for me. Every time I wear it, which I do a lot, I think of her, and it makes me happy. Simple things make me happy. Time with friends and loved ones, time in nature, doing good deeds, making things, growing flowers and vegetables, and wearing or using good-quality objects with which I feel some personal connection. My sister gave me a green handmade mug for my fifty-first birthday…

Making the jump of upgrading a passion or hobby into a fully-fledged full-time job can be a scary shift for anyone - but for Kathleen McVeigh and Dale Donaldson, the stakes of starting their business were even higher, thanks to an extra consideration. The two founded Vermont-based sustainable quilted fashion brand Kitty Badhands, using vintage or dead stock materials to make ready-to-buy unique clothing items and offering a custom quilt coat-making service. They started the company as a couple, with no idea if their spark of inspiration would be worth the gamble of leaving their secure jobs or how the risk would change their romantic dynamic. “Because of our personal relationship, it was a financial risk for neither of us to have a ‘safe’ job to fall back on, and…

You spent hours contemplating which fabric would be the absolute best pairing with your pattern. You took your measurements (again!) and carefully considered which size/s on your pattern to cut out. You might have even been especially good and spent the time tracing out those pieces. You made various pattern adjustment to achieve the perfect fit and you even bothered to pre-wash your fabric before you cut out all those carefully thought-out pattern pieces. Then you lovingly crafted the garment of your dreams, unpicking every imperfection on the way and diligently ironing every seam as you go. When you proudly wear your perfectly fitted beautiful self-made garment for the first time, it was all worth it. But what happens next? After all the time, care and attention we give our…

The very first domestic sewing machines for consumers were introduced in the 1860s and since then the industry has boomed for the home sewist. Despite the high price tags on some models, the core of all sewing machines is the same. A top thread and a bobbin thread entwine to form a strong stitch that connects two layers of fabric. Threading the machine is the first thing you will need to learn and winding and inserting the bobbin is the part that can slow a lot of beginner sewists down. WINDING A BOBBIN Step one Place an empty bobbin on the winder – refer to your manual if you can’t locate yours. Step two Place your chosen thread colour on the spool, pass it through the tension disc (there will…

Many beginner sewists shy away from buttonholes, but they are really very simple to sew once you get the hang of them. The key, as with any technique, is practice! As buttonholes are often the last step in finishing a garment, it is important to test out the stitch several times before you add them to your project. Here are some essential tips and techniques to get neat, professional-looking buttonholes on a variety of different garments. ANATOMY OF A BUTTONHOLE Buttonholes are made from four lines of zigzag stitching which create a box. The zigzag stitches have a long width and narrow length meaning that they sit close together. Computerised machines may have a one-step automatic buttonhole stitch to allow you to sew a single buttonhole in one go. Mechanical…

When was the last time your machine was serviced? For some of us, it might have been a few months ago, and for others a few years – but, more commonly, it’s never! We’re all quilty of forgetting, but don’t fear − the key to achieving the best stitching quality and prolonging the life of your machine is to ensure it is in proper working order with a professional service at least once a year. Doing a DIY service every few months won’t mean you never need a professional service, but it will ensure your machine will serve you for the longest possible time. Think of it as you would your car – yearly services are essential, but that doesn’t mean you don’t top up the oil and care for…

HOW TO ADJUST THE DIFFERENTIAL FEED ■ If the sewn fabric is stretched, turn the dial counterclockwise (towards 2.2) ■ If the sewn fabric is gathered, turn the dial clockwise (towards 0.5). PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT SCREW This is used to adjust the presser foot tension. If your fabric is stretching this may be the reason why. It is usually best to save this adjustment until after you have tried everything else. Consult your manual for guidance and only adjust the screw a small amount before testing the stitch again. TENSION DIALS Used to change the tension of the loopers and needles. TENSION DISCS It is important that the thread is securely placed inside each tension disc as these control the tension of the thread. PRESSER FOOT LEVER As with a sewing…

APPLIQUE Stitching a small piece of fabric on top of another, usually for decoration. This can be done by hand often using blanket stitch or by machine using a zig zag stitch. BACKSTITCH Also called reverse stitch this is done at the beginning and end of a seam to prevent it from coming undone. It’s also used to describe an embroidery stitch where the stitches are worked backwards so they touch each other to form a solid line of stitching. BIAS This is the stretchiest part on the fabric which runs diagonally to the selvedge or straight grain of the fabric. BINDING A method to encase the raw edges of the fabric using a narrower strip of fabric. Ready-made bias binding can be used for this or fabric strips cut…
