My wife has a singer prelude #sewing machine that seems to not be keeping up its end of the bargain.

She’s been working on projects (mostly garments and leotards for the kids) and is endlessly frustrated with it.

I’d love to surprise her with a new machine but I don’t know enough about them to know what to get.

Is there a #sewist out there that can give me a recommendation?

My friend loved my own Dead Inside top so much that she begged me to make her one, only in black with a black flock heart. I used the same FibreMood Elza pattern, only this time sewn in black bamboo jersey.

I absolutely LOVE her choice of black flock HTV on a black shirt - it's subtle but SO cool in real life!

On FehrTrade - details of two vest tops with motifs from (you guessed it!) #InterviewWithTheVampire!

I used FehrTrade's very own Versatili-Tops pattern in black bamboo jersey - perfect for summer because there's NO side seams to chafe under your arms.

I vectorised this Paris Sucks design from a s3 press pack & cut it out of white & cherry red glitter HTV on my Silhouette machine. I actually adore Paris, but the line and design are just too iconic to resist!

I made a t-shirt!

It was quite a simple project, but it's the first time I've worked with jersey so it was an adventure.

Process details in the thread...

Can anyone recommend a place to buy:
- 100% cotton jersey fabric (no elastane or polyester!! I might consider blends with other natural fibres)
- In a range of nice earthy or neutral, solid colours
- Extra bonus points if the colours are marl/melange/heather
- For delivery to the UK (I am willing to pay for international shipping)

Our sewing experts were kept very busy at our May café. Ann and Peter had a queue of people waiting for their skills!

Between them they repaired clothing items, soft toys, shopping trolleys, and much more.

We're at Barry library on the first Saturday of every month to fix your items for free - pop it in your diary and tell your friends!
