Sewing Club

We spend so much time sewing “icing” pieces, the special occasion outfits that only see daylight once or twice a year. But what about the CAKE? The everyday pieces that carry your wardrobe, the ones you reach for again and again. In today’s episode, we’re talking about shifting your focus from icing to cake, and why building more wearable, repeatable pieces will make your sewing fun and exciting again!

We’re back for the first episode of 2026! This time we’re giving you the full run-down on the classic Ines Dress, a brilliant, easy-to-fit make, perfect as an everyday staple to something a bit more fancy, depending on your fabric (and your mood).
It’s not a quick sew, with 13 panels plus a lining, this one’s got plenty to sink your needles into, so pop the kettle on and settle in for some satisfyingly serious sewing.

In this episode we’re taking a look at The Pietra Pants By Closet Core Patterns. With a flat front, high-rise fit and practical hip pockets they are as functional as they are flattering. Choose from four leg styles - shorts, floor-grazing wide leg, cropped wide leg or slim and tapered to create a pair that suit your style.
