I'm a sporadic sewist experimenting with creating my own wardrobe (as well as garments for family members). I'd like to get to know other sewists who love to make great clothes you just can't find in the shops - and who are as obsessed by fit as I am.

So someone's cloned my Instagram account... 🤬 If you've recently been followed by a similar-looking account to mine, which is using a profile pic that's of me, and the same description with a bonus typo, be wary – it's not me, so don't follow back and please don't open any DMs from them.

Having a bit of a clear out here at DIY Wardobe HQ. Due to overlapping subscriptions (courtesy of my kind in-laws!), I’ve got four duplicate Burda magazines in my collection. Would any Burda fans out there like to have them? Free to a good home - I’ll happily post them to the first reply from someone based in the UK who was already following me before today. They are May 2020, December 2020, January 2021 and February 2021. #payitforward

These are my #gingerjeans from 2017, which I don’t wear because the zip won’t stay up! Is this a fit issue, or is it the way I’ve installed the zip? And most importantly, what’s the fix for it? Thank you 🙏 #sewingrepairs #memadejeans #diywardrobe

Orange? Why not. Although not for me. 😬. A spot of secret squirrel sewing for someone with an 8th birthday coming up soon who will keep on growing out of all his shorts.. #neonnotions #sewingforkids
