April Dressmaking Q&A in Love Sewing Magazine

In this month’s (April) Dressmaking Q&A for Love Sewing magazine I’m answering questions on some of the most common problems encountered by every newbie / beginner sewist I’ve ever met:

• how to choose your first sewing machine
• how to make your seam allowances really neat
• the best ways to start and stop sewing on your sewing machine.

Remember, if you would like to see your question answered, send it to me on Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #dressmakingSOS or send me an email and I might use it in a future issue!

My Dressmaking Q&A in March’s Love Sewing Magazine

This month in Love Sewing (issue 11), I’m answering questions on pre-washing your fabric, cutting on the grain line and pattern sizing.

Even better, across the page from me is the lovely Claire-Louise Hardie, aka the Thrifty Stitcher who is the behind-the-scenes sewing producer of the Sewing Bee with an in-depth piece about one of my favourite subjects…..sizing!

Dressmaking SOS

Have you got yourself in a bit of a dressmaking tangle?

Keep getting stuck with the same thing, tearing your hair out with some sewing pattern instructions, struggling with a tricksy fabric or just want to know more about sewing equipment or a particular technique?

Whatever your sewing and dressmaking problem or question, send it to me in any of the following ways:

• leave it in a comment on this post
• email it to me
• post it on the MIY Workshop or MIY Collection Facebook pages
• tweet me @wendywarduk or @miycollection using the hashtag #dressmakingSOS
• post a photo of your crisis on Instagram and use the hashtag #dressmakingSOS

Every month I’ll be throwing a sewing lifeline to 3 of you and hopefully answering your question.
