2018 Sewcial Sketch Calendar is now available to buy!

Introducing the Sewcial Sketch Calendar! 13 illustrated postcards to keep you on track and inspired for a year of sewing.

The Sewcial Sketch Calendar is a collection of my fashion illustrations of the sewing community. The #sewcialsketch hashtag on Instagram has been getting so much love and encouragement that a printed calendar seemed like a great way to celebrate our wonderful community.

Each month is an illustration capturing the style and personality of a different sewer. 13 cards in total with some illustrations you may have seen before and some brand new ones too. The back of each card has a blank section so it can be used as an actual postcard when the month is done.

Postcards measure 105mm x 148mm you can choose from the postcards or the postcards and a miniature wooden easel to display them in your sewing area.

Available to purchase now in the shop.

Me Made May 2017 – drawing challenge

And another Me Made May comes to a close. I don’t always do the challenge as I wear me made almost all the time anyway but it is fun to do and see where and what I actually wear.
Of course this year has been completely different as I threw in the challenge of surgery, hospital visit and recovery to the mix! Knowing that was coming up I had set myself an additional challenge to do a drawing of a fellow sewer every day.


I wanted to do this to increase my skills, practice and honestly in case I was too sick/in pain to be bothered to take my photos.


Luckily my recovery has been going well and I’ve been enjoying the drawings and the responses so much I am working on ways to do more  with my drawings, including ways for them to be printed.
And in no particular order, here is the months drawings.

Everyone was chosen for their inspiring makes, and I was wanting to work on different patterns so plenty of patterned garments make an appearance.

Thank you to everyone who has left lovely messages, regramed, tweeted or mentioned the drawings, it has been a privilege to showcase just a fraction of the talents of the entire online sewing community.
