Today I’m trying something new and going with a YouTube livestream at 8pm tonight. I’ll be unboxing the August subscription sewing box from The Lingerie Society from Pitt Trading as well as answering questions about the box and sewing/lingerie sewing in general.

We have been in lockdown here in Sydney and I’ve been thinking of new ways to talk about sewing and teach without the benefit of inperson classes. I’ve also been really struggling to get eyes on any of my Instagram posts as I don’t do things such as Reels and IGTV. To me they feel transitory and content for contents sake but in no real benefit to either me or other sewers. It’s not like I can go “oh I saw this wonderful tutorial but I can’t remember who did it?” you can’t search it, it can’t be easily found and if it was in a story it disappears in 24 hours. It was making me feel all a bit useless.
So instead of learning silly dances (trust me no one needs to see that) or spend hours producing worthless transitory content I’ve decided to post tutorials and how to’s on YouTube so you have a visual, searchable, saveable way of learning and growing your sewing skills. I’m really hoping this works and it would be wonderful if it encourages more people to sew or even just regular sewers to sew more often.
