For the longest time I have had this yellow fabric sitting in my fabric stash, the idea was always to sew a pencil skirt with a bit more style lines than this turned out, but, I must say I'm really pleased with the outcome plus I don't think I've ever had the pleasure of drafting, cutting and sewing up a project...

 So this tutorial is not just to show you how to use and thread a twin/double needle on my machine but I think it's pretty much gonna be the same across 95% of most sewing machines, still just check to make sure....

Sew from what I can gather, since 2014, in the month of November there has been a sewing photo a day challenge called #bpsewvember that goes on on Instagram. For us sewist its so much fun to get to know others in the worldwide sewing community and see what drives them, see what you have in common or how you differ etc Even if you don't sew its such a fun...

Today we are all about closures in garment making/sewing, these can be used as a design or functional elements in whatever project you are sewing. they are especially important if you want to make some fitted woven garments. My favorite type of zippers to sew are invisible zippers and guess what you guys, I DO NOT OWN AN INVISIBLE ZIPPER FOOT. Stick...

Aside from loving to sew and documenting my sewing journey, I folks am regrettably what they call a #slowsewer. I'm guessing the term is self-explanatory, I take forever to sew up stuff, I dunno why honestly(though I think my slow sewing machine should share in the blame). it's something I'm seriously working on combatting, pray for me....LOL. ...

If you're into the sewing world then you know about the seamstress tag with 12 questions started by HollySews on youtube, most seamstress myself included took part in it as a way to get to know each other and to introduce ourselves to people, let them know what started us on our journey, and all that good stuff...... But there's also another tag...

So lets put to bed some of the basic sewing terms that get thrown around in the sewing world whether you are a home sewer or work in the sewing factories.

I just checked the date on my last post and it's been something like 7 years since I posted anything, WOWWWWWWWWWWW that's a freaking long time, I honestly thought I was done with blogging, it hasn't ever really felt like my thing, that and my laziness, LOL.  SOOOOOOOOOOO much has happened since then, I'm still in Nigeria working, I started a youtube...
