So you’ve decided to learn to sew, but where do you start and what should you make? If you would like to learn how to use a sewing machine, we host some great beginner sewing classes in both our sewing studios in York.  If you have already learnt to sew and you'd like to practice to improve your sewing skills, then this blog post is for you!  Let’s explore some fun and achievable sewing projects to kick-start your sewing journey! Check out some great ideas below:

Have you lost your 'sewjo'? Are you fed up of sewing or struggling to get back into it? Have you lost that spark that makes you excited to sew and be creative? Even if you LOVE sewing, everyone experiences this every so often.  Whether you're a bit burnt out, you have a lack of inspiration, you're tired or you're just super busy with general life.. it's totally normal to experience a sewing slump once in a while, so do not panic!  It will return at some point!!
