In this episode of the Fussy Cutters Club podcast, host Ange Wilson interviews Rosie Taylor-Crafts, a British sewer and pattern designer. They discuss Rosie's creative journey, her approach to fabric selection, and the importance of buying fabric that brings joy. Rosie shares insights on managing a fabric stash, the thrill of hunting for rare prints, and the supportive community within the sewing world. The conversation also touches on the process of pattern design, workspace organization, and the joy of using fabric in creative projects.
Sewing can be an expensive hobby. It's not just fabric, you've got equipment to buy, notions, and patterns to say the least. It's always great when you can save a penny here and there, so here is a list of some freebies to get you started. Happy listening

Hello and welcome back to Making Stitches Podcast, it's so good to be back with you. I had to take and extended break from podcasting due to a lot of 'stuff' going on, but I'm thrilled to be back with you now with the first episode of Series 7!My guest this time is Jen Rich, a food stylist & photographer who bought her first sewing machine back in the days of Covid lockdown. Just three years on from teaching herself how to sew, Jen has written a book called 'Stitch: Sewing Projects for the Modern Maker'. She says she has written it with both beginners and established sewing enthusiasts in mind - there is plenty of inspiration inside with 30 different projects to have a go at.Jen says she wrote the book she wished she could have read when she was first starting out, taking you through the steps of each project. However, the projects should also appeal to established sewers providing short 'palette cleanser' projects for when you need a break after working on larger projects. The fact that they are small items also makes them ideal projects for using up scraps of fabric left over from previous makes. My sincerest thanks to Jen for agreeing to speak to me for Making Stitches Podcast.You can find Jen at her on Instagram at @stitchcraftandcookTo join the mailing list for the new Making Stitches Newsletter, please click onto this link.For full show notes for this episode, please visit the Making Stitches website.

Happy New Year! It is time to challenge ourselves and set goals for sewing in 2023. In this episode we share 10 questions to answer that help you reflect and prepare your mindset for setting goals in the new year. Answering these 10 questions helps put your priorities into perspective of things you want to do better or accomplish this year. We talk about using the S.M.A.R.T. steps to help set achievable goals. S.M.A.R.T. stands for: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant & Time Bound. Once you have a SMART goal, write it down and find a friend to hold you accountable. 76% of people who write down their goals and provided weekly progress to a friend successfully achieved their goals. This result is 33% higher than those with unwritten goals. Use a word doc, spreadsheet or calendar to keep track of your goals and the activities you need to complete to reach your end goal. I LOVE using Artful Agenda to keep track of everything going on in my life in one pretty place accessible anytime on my phone, computer or tablet.

Home sewing patterns put knowledge and power in the hands of ordinary people, changing fashion forever. In this episode, we go back to the beginnings of sewing patterns in the mid-19th century (and a little bit earlier). We talk about the enormous shifts in technology and lifestyles through the nearly two centuries that followed - and we even predict the future of sewing patterns! Plus, a listener question about fashion school and life direction. Show Notes

On this week's episode of The Sewcial Hour Podcast your hosts, Ashley & Bethany, chat with Catherine who you can follow on Instagram at @bringingsewingback where she shares her passion for all things sewing.On this week's episode of The Sewcial Hour Podcast your hosts, Ashley & Bethany, chat with Catherine who you can follow on Instagram at @bringingsewingback where she shares her passion for all things sewing. Catherine is a Kentucky gal who discovered a passion for sewing back in 2014. Her husband was in the first year of his 4-year long residency program in North Carolina, when she decided she needed a hobby. Christmas was just around the corner, so she asked her mom for a sewing machine. She swears it was love at first stitch! In the wee hours of the night, you could find her whipping up one-of-a-kind purses, pillows, baby toys, ect. She was having so much fun! But, the thought of sewing clothing intimidated her. It wasn't until January of 2019, after the birth of her second child that she started focusing on creating her own wardrobe. What began as a knack for refashioning garments from Goodwill, quickly turned into self- drafting her own patterns and sharing her sewing journey with others on Instagram. (@bringingsewingback). She has gone on to join the Styla Patterns designer team, been filmed on multiple local news segments, and become a brand ambassador for Olga's Closet fabrics. While her Instagram page has allowed her many collaborations and opportunities, she is MOST fulfilled by teaching and educating on the platform. Her passion is to bring the lost art of sewing back to the modern woman. Because, it's just SEW much fun!Catherine Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/bringingsewingback/Styla Patterns - https://littlelizardking.com/collections/styla-patternsStyla Patterns Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stylapatterns/The duffle bag inspiration tutorial - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdYtnlGFy1wThe new duffle bag tutorial - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3xgEaJPYJk&t=281sMade Every Day - https://www.youtube.com/c/MADEEverydayRecommended Book Tilly and the buttons - https://amzn.to/3Dzg8msVideo learning resource - www.craftsy.comVideo learning resource - www.skillshare.comKnit 101 course on Catherines instagram highlights - https://www.instagram.com/bringingsewingback/Ogden Cami by True bias - https://truebias.com/products/ogden-camiNew episodes every Tuesday! https://linktr.ee/thesewcialhourwww.thesewcialhourpodcast.comFollow Ashley:https://linktr.ee/charmedbyashleyFollow Bethany:https://linktr.ee/Craftwithbethany Support the show

Sewing patterns are often the starting point for those of us who make our own clothes. In recent years we have witnessed an explosion in the amount and the variety of sewing patterns available to us. Plus, developments in technology and the sewing industry have resulted in patterns being available in different formats. Then, once we've bought a pattern in a particular format, there are options of how to use it. At CYT, our goal is to enjoy sewing whilst conserving resources and reducing potential waste where possible. So in this episode we unpick what choices we might make when buying and using sewing patterns and why. Support the podcast over on Patreon! Sewing patterns currently come in five formats: 1) the traditional patterns printed onto paper, 2) as digital PDF files that require printing out, 3) as projector files that gets projected directly onto the fabric, 4) as sets of instructions or measurements that guide you to draw the pattern directly onto fabric or 5) printed overlapping on large pattern sheets in pattern magazines and books. Buying and Using Paper Patterns More Sustainably: Find out where in the world it's produced. That might impact the retailer you choose to buy it from. Consider becoming a member of #teamtrace by tracing off the pieces before hand onto more paper first rather than jumping straight in and cutting out your size. On the surface it seems like you're using double the materials, but by giving yourself space to test out fit and alterations on the practice go, you are likely to be preserving more resources overall. If you plan to make any alterations, or suspect you might need to make any alterations in the future, tracing first rather than cutting straight is the absolutely best choice. You can play around on the traced off pieces and always have the original version to refer to. Or if your alterations don't go to plan, you can trace the pieces again and start over. Tracing is also necessary if you want to retain all the sizes. You may wish to make another size for yourself or someone else in the future. Plus, by tracing off your pieces and keeping the original pattern uncut, it means that when you no longer want it, it can be passed on to another person, at a sewing swap perhaps, or by donating to a charity shop or thrift store. If you cut into the original, and later find you need the uncut and unadulterated pattern again in the future, you're going to have to buy the whole thing again, pattern, instructions AND packaging. Which would mean double the environmental impact of the original pattern. And if you do cut into the original you'll be rendering it pretty much useless once you're done with it. Therefore, if garment sewing is a passion for you, and something you can see yourself doing for a number of years, I'd recommend buying a large roll of recycled paper suitable for pattern cutting and tracing. But if you don't fancy investing in a roll of paper specific for the purpose, rolls of large format printer paper, wall paper and wrapping paper can also do the job. Using PDF Sewing Patterns More Sustainably: Only print out a pattern when we are actually about to use it in case your plans change. You might end up not wanting to make the view you printed out, or you end up not making it at all and that will have been a waste of energy, paper and ink. When you do print out your PDF pattern, there's no need to print out the instructions. Instead, view the instructions directly on your laptop, tablet or phone. Whether you're using an A0 print out or A4/letter pages that have been stuck together, you can also choose to trace the size you need and retain the original printouts. As with paper patterns, this will save you the time and hassle of reprinting and sticking together pages if you wish to make alterations to the pattern and may need to refer to the original, or if you want to save the rest of the sizes for the future. Printing and Using A4/letter PDF Sewing Patterns: Check what pages you actually need. If the pattern offers multiple views, i.e. there are different style variations within the pattern, take some time to work out which pages you need to print out for the one you want to make to save you paper and ink. Some pattern companies will detail which pages you need to print out depending on the sizes or styles you require in the instructions. But for others, you might need to figure it out for yourself. Check if the PDF file includes the LAYERS FUNCTION!!!! This will save you a lot of printer ink over time. To find the layers function, when you open up the PDF document usually in a programme like acrobat reader, check if there's a logo on the left hand side that looks like a stack of squares. If it doesn't show up as you open the file, you can find it by selecting view in the tool bar at the top, then show/Hide, then Navigation Panes, then Layers. If your pattern has that function, you can deselect the layers you don't need by clicking on the tiny eye icons, and all the lines of the sizes you don't need will disappear from view. Make sure you don't deselect the pattern information layer though, because that contains all the writing and any markings are common to all sizes. What paper are you using? If you can, I'd urge you to buy recycled printer paper. It's only worth it for recycling services to collect paper and recycle it to make new products, as opposed to sending it to landfill, if there's a demand for products made from recycled paper. We need to be keeping as much stuff out of landfill as possible. Also related to paper, if you work in an office or other work place that regularly prints stuff out onto A4 or letter sized paper, is there a source of waste paper you could tap into? Similarly, if you live with kids, or work with kids, or have a friend or family member with kids, their stream of artwork might also provide plenty of pages you can print your patterns out on the back of. Stick the pattern pages together with glue rather than sticky tape so the patterns can be recycled when you're eventually done with them. I use a thin layer of my kids' PVA craft glue. Let your pattern dry before cutting out the pieces. Sticky tape is obviously plastic, which deems every page it touches unrecycle-able. Try to buy PVA glue in larger quantities and decant into smaller containers with a lid like empty jam jars. Printing and Using A0/Copshop PDF Sewing Patterns: Only get your pattern printed when you are ready to actually use it in case you change your mind and your sewing plans to avoid wasted resources. Check which pages you actually need. If there are different views included in the same pattern, or different elements, hopefully they will be grouped as such so that you can avoid printing entire pages if necessary. If the pattern has the layers function, an A0 printing service can also deselect the unnecessary lines which will save on ink. I also think it makes cutting out your pattern a lot easier if you've not got so many lines to confuse you. Check in advance if your pattern has the layers function, and if so, check which size or sizes you require, and ask them when placing your order to only print the necessary sizes. If you're getting your files printed by an A0 printing service, use a local service. Or if there isn't one within your local area, at least one in the same country. You might choose to ignore this if you're getting another physical product sent to you at the same time and the price of printing is reasonable though. If you are using a postal printing service, batch your order so you're getting a few patterns printed at once to save on postage and packaging.

Leah's passion for fashion began when she was a young girl. When she was in the fifth grade, her mother enrolled her in a summer sewing class. Leah loved it and begged her mom to enroll her in another class. Unfortunately, none were available, so her grandmother became her teacher. Her first major creations were three hand-sewn A-Line dresses for herself, her sister, and their friend. Once they all had their dresses on, they decided to try them out on a friend's trampoline. According to Leah, “One jump and a toe touch and them suckers split all the way down the side.” She laughs, saying that from that moment on it was, “game on.” (4:44-9:11) Leah's grandpa used to say to her, “Baby, you're only as good as your tools.” After buying a very cheap machine when she was just starting out, Leah learned firsthand that having the right equipment can make a world of difference. She admits to being a perfectionist and says that now she always makes sure she has the right tools to ensure that what she creates looks professional. ( 13:45 – 16:18)Leah started out sewing and doing pattern testing for several leading pattern companies. After about five years, she became a designer for Violet Field Threads. Soon, however, she knew it was time to dive in and follow her dream of designing her own patterns and opening her own company. The company's name, Vintage Little Lady came from her telling her little girls, “You look like a vintage little lady,” every time one of her daughters put on one of her creations. She talks a lot about the ins and outs of starting a company and her process of making her dream come true. “When a dream is written down with a date, it becomes a goal, then it's broken down into steps which becomes a plan, then it's backed up by action, which becomes a reality. And the action for me is diving in.” (17:45 – 21:30)Leah talks in-depth about the process of creating a pattern: the vision, the research, the designing, drafting, checking, re-designing, re-drafting, re-checking, and doing it all again until everything is perfect. Then she explains that you have to fit the models, style their hair, and do the fashion shoot. The process she says, takes 6 to 8 weeks of very long days, with a lot of back and forth. A lot of trial and error. (24:30 – 34:26) The Vintage Little Ladies store has been up for over two years, and Leah has no plans for slowing down. When you listen to the podcast, you'll be engaged, uplifted, and 100% inspired. If you have questions or would like to share your inspiration, you can reach out to Leah and her team at vintagelittlelady.com
Let's be honest, for those of us who sew, spending a couple hours at our sewing machine is probably preferable to the same time spent wandering around the shops or trawling websites trying to find someone the perfect gift. In this solo episode, I'm sharing heaps of ideas for presents we can create for our loved ones that won't take an age or cost us a mint. All these ideas should take no more than an evening to make, a lot of them use patterns or tutorials that are free, and pretty much all of them can be made from scraps and leftover fabric, or even unwanted clothing! I've broken these projects down into four categories: gifts for makers, simple accessories and clothing, homeware and gifts for kids. Gifts for makers: Tool roll tutorial by The Book Hut can be found HERE. Image source: The Book Hut Stowe Bag pattern by Grainline Studio HERE.

This week is all about underwear and I wanted to talk about making your own knickers. I put off making my own underwear for a long time because I thought it was really difficult. Then I saw some fabulous knicker-making kits advertised by Flo-Jo Fabrics. All the hardwork of choosing what fabrics and which elastics was done for me and I decided to take the plunge and give it a go.I made my first two pairs of knickers - one from non-stretch cotton fabric with elastic around legs and waist and the other from jersey fabric with stretch lace around the legs and waist.The kits included the patterns and instructions and it couldn't have been simpler. I was able to make them with my sewing machine and I loved them. So when I thought about talking about making knickers I figured who better to talk to than where it started for me and the fabulous Delia of Flo-Jo was so much fun to explore this topic with!My thoughts about this episode were also triggered by a fabulous photo in the Flo-Jo Fabrics newsletter of Delia and Erika in Wonder Woman swimsuits raising money for a good cause. If you buy one of their knicker making kits then they are donating £1 to Womankind for each kit sold. So please do check those out as they are great fun to make and you get to support a fabulous cause too!In this episode you will hear:> Who Flo-Jo Fabrics are and what they do> How the knicker making kits came to be> The benefits of making your own knickers> The different types of knickers available in the kits> Different ways to adapt the pattern to create the perfect style for you> Tips on taking the leap and getting startedUseful links and resources:Knicker making kits: https://www.flo-jofabrics.co.uk/products/cat_1273412-Kits.html Womankind Charity: https://www.womankindbristol.org.uk/Book - Knickers !: 6 Sewing Patterns for Handmade Lingerie including French knickers, cotton briefs and saucy BraziliansI loved doing this episode and Delia's energy and enthusiasm so I hope that you love it too.

In this episode, I am sharing with you all what I have done on one of my most productive days which was yesterday. I also touch on the news of Khloe's Kardashian unfiltered picture that is now circulating on social media. And how this is a prove of unhealthy perfectionism that has became an obsession on social media platforms. And most importantly, I have finally spent some time (5 hours exactly) leaning how to create sewing patterns on Adobe Illustrator. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/cottageruffles/message

I love sewing patterns but I know that I have the kind of mind that likes reading instructions - don’t judge me, that’s just who I am.

In this episode I cover what makes sewing patterns appear scarythe alternatives to sewing patterns and their pros and consthe benefits that I believe sewing patterns bring youthe challenges you might facea strategy for easily tackling the challenges and making the most of these powerful tools.

Dario met Lori Beckstead when they both delivered keynote lectures at the Podcasting Poetics Conference in Mainz, Germany last year (and a lifetime ago). They immediately shared an interest in exploring the potential of podcasting within an academic context. In this episode, they explore this topic in detail by differentiating between podcasting as an object of study and podcasting as a tool for academic research. The context of this is a project that Lori is undertaking which explores the potential for podcasting to be utilised for academic peer review in a way that is more developmentally useful to the research process. In a trial session held last week, Dario acted as the peer reviewer to Lori's research on what she calls the 'genetic codes' of podcasting. They reflect on that session as well as discussing many of the key issues that pervade current thinking on sound communication. Dario and Lori are joined by her research assistants Valentina Passos Gastaldo and Anna Ashitey who give their insights into some of the current trends with regards to the use and status of podcasting pedagogy and research in the context of digital culture. Show Notes Lori Beckstead is a professor of audio & digital media in the RTA School of Media at Ryerson University, where she teaches courses in radio production, sound design, and digital media production. Also a sound artist, she has a particular interest in soundscape recording and interactive installation art. Lori spent ten years in hardscrabble yet rewarding work at several campus & community radio stations around Ontario, and has done freelance work for CBC Radio as a producer, online journalist, web producer and reporter. In addition to holding three undergraduate degrees--in Science, Radio & Television Arts, and Education--she also has a Master of Media Arts & Production from the University of Technology, Sydney (Australia). As Program Leader for the Canadian Women in Communications/Corus Career Accelerator from 2009 to 2012, Lori developed and delivered an intensive professional development program in digital media and technology for women across Canada each year. Lori served as Associate Chair in the RTA School of Media from 2010 to 2014. Twitter: @lbeckste Valentina Passos Gastaldo is a fourth-year Media Production undergraduate student at Ryerson University. She is Lori's Beckstead research assistant for the 'Podcasting as Open Peer Review' project and she hopes to focus her studies on the use of media for knowledge mobilization and research dissemination. Anna Ashitey is currently in her fourth year of a Bachelor of Media Production in the RTA School of Media at Ryerson University. As a research assistant, Anna has worked alongside Lori Beckstead on research projects pertaining to Podcasting, Women in Radio and Diversity in Sewing Patterns. Anna hopes to further her academic career by completing her masters in research pertaining to podcasting as an education tool for children with learning accommodations.
