2. From Alix-Heidi Parkes’ #scavengerhuntquilt which is an 8-week long free sew along for a completely hand-stitched modern improvisational quilt. Heidi is giving a new clue every Friday over on IG. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa5hMffhvnp2utY_w9J0WfQ

Special Offers
1. From Alix- Gertie of Charm Patterns and New Blog for Modern Sewing fame is putting up day by day her complete 4-hour long tutorial class for her Lamour dress, this time on YT. This was a $75 class that she’s now giving away free for a couture style 50’s prom dress with steel boning etc. It’s in depth, complex and very beautiful if anyone feels like a major commitment! I’ve done 3 of her online classes and have learned so much from her, so this is a generous offering. The project is called Sew A 1950’s Halter Dress and is on her YT channel.
2. From Alix- I just looked at my old Craftsy now Bluprint account. They are offering 14 days free trial of the new all-access subscription model, and there are hundreds of courses in all aspects of sewing: pattern cutting, dressmaking, quilting, other fibre crafts plus lots of others so a lot could be squeezed out of a two-week access if you were disciplined! That’s over on bluprint.com
3. From Giselle- Jaycotts.co.uk has a half price Butterick pattern sale. Some quite nice designs, needs combing with a fine-toothed comb... Prices are around £4.75/£5.
Reccomendations, tips and other things
1. From Giselle - I can recommend Mettler's Seralene overlocking thread, it just flies through the machine! Because I use black for pretty much anything (except white and very light-coloured items) I can leave this on my overlocker and just go whenever I start a garment.
