Making everyday memories 🌸 if you are here, you obviously love fashion for your mini as much as I do! How did it all start for you? I remember sewing paper on a plastic sewing machine next to my mum while she made my sister and I clothes, appliqué character prints embellished with puff paint. We have come far with print techniques now! Long before that, my grandparents started a business from their garage and manufactured clothing for so many big Australian brands for decades. Buttons, zi...

It's really funny that before I started sewing undergarments I really couldn't have cared less about if things matched or how they looked. If they "fit" and were functional, it was fine. I also really wasn't into cutesy undergarments or frilly things with lots of lace. However, when I saw this adorable cherry fabric in…
Tie-tab curtains are a great beginner sewing project if you’re just getting started out there in the world of DIY decorating. I lost count a long time ago of the number of curtain panels I’ve sewn on my super-basic sewing machine (not to mention countless other sewing projects) and my machine is still going strong. […]

Did you guess what I was making with the diamonds and squares yesterday? If you guessed another Pandora's Box, you would be correct! I plan to piece this quilt in 16 patch "blocks." Here is my sewing lap table: Remember when showed this little quilt that I made for my SQT swap partner? I started…
Bear with me everyone - I want to see if I'm the only person who has had the experience of procrastipatterning....? When I first started sewing, the M7974 stood out to me immediately as a pattern I would want to make. The V neck bodice and yoke, nipped in waist and flared skirt ticked all…
Having spent some time this weekend knee-deep in the Toast changing rooms trying on their winter offerings I started to ponder patterns. We have often had requests for patterns from Toast and I thought it might be fun to see if some of the styles that I fell in love with were available as sewing patterns. I’ve collate

If you’ve been reading Pin Cut Sew for a long time, you may remember that this blog began because I started teaching sewing camps for kids several Summers ago when we lived in Hawaii. I needed a way to earn money that summer and teaching kids to sew quickly emerged as a FUN way to earn quite a bit of extra income in just a few weeks of sewing camps.
In this post, I'll break out all my best tips for finding sewing supplies for free (or really cheap). I wanted to get into sewing for a long time, but I kept putting it off because the hobby seemed expensive. Getting a sewing machine looked like it was going to be at least $100 or more, and then you still need thread, needles, fabric, patterns, an iron, and so on just to get started. And then what if it turns out you don't really like sewing? You've spent all that money just to be disappointed. So I kept hemming and hawing over it. Well, I'm going to tell you how to get started without spending (much) money. If you're patient and attentive, you can get almost all of your supplies for free. I do recommend buying thread and needles, but I'll tell you how to get the best deals on those.
Chocolate Orange covers - they are everywhere at this time of year. But do you think I could find a pattern I was happy with?! Every time I started one, I decided I didn't quite like how it sat, or where it finished, or how it was done up at the bottom (sewing in elastic? If you read my last post, you'll see why that
