I have a new selection of cotton lawn and viscose challis from Lady McElroy's sustainable collection in stock. ow.ly/yssF50Mlm2I

Clare's super quick make. This is a copy of one of her favourite tops. She drafted a pattern from her original top and made this one in a single sewing class. When your favourite clothes get worn out it doesn't mean the end of the style if you can make a copy. #learntosew

Debs has made all her grandsons #Theodor sweatshirts and now she has made these #Josephjoggers for her granddaughter. Practical, comfy and fun. The perfect combo for kidswear!

This weekend's beginner's course got off to a great start with this lovely selection of cushion covers. Next class, we are making tote bags. A bit more practice with straight lines and some top stitching and construction thrown into the mix. #learntosew #leicestershire

Esme tried sewing with jersey for her second dressmaking project. This lovely viscose Ponte Roma trapeze dress is the lovely result. #dressmakingclasses #learntosew #leicestersewing

Big congratulations to Annabelle on her PhD graduation, and thank you for letting me share this great pic of you in the beautiful dress you made at dressmaking classes. #makeyourownclothes #sewinstyle

The last in my blog series -sustainable wardrobe challenge, is from Sam @frugalisama. She made the Violet leggings for her new found running hobby. She shares some great thoughts and ideas. Head over to my blog to read all about it! ow.ly/17MW50MGPTK

I've had lots of love for my project for this month's issue of Love Sewing The pattern is free to download from the Love sewing website, and the instructions are printed in the magazine.

You can't beat a classic denim pinafore dress. This is my #Marydress pattern created by Debs for her granddaughter in class. The dungaree clips make it adjustable length-wise for a longer life. Debs choose to use pink top stitch thread as a special detail. #sewingforfamily

How cute are these #josephjoggers! Made by Linda for her young grandson from recycled sweatshirt fabric to coordinate with the #theodorsweatshirt she recently made him. #sewingclassesleicester

Claire's kick-started spring wardrobe-making in classes with this light and floaty version of #Marnie from Tilly and the buttons with the lovely pin tuck detail across the front yoke.

My project for this month's Love Sewing is this tiered dress. A perfect style to make in viscose or a slightly heavier tencel fabric would also work well. This one is on my make list. What's on your make list? #lovesewingproject #freepattern

Clare has mainly been focusing on stretch garments since joining the dressmaking classes. Her first woven dress included an invisible zip, stand collar and french darts. I think it has come together really well. #dressmakingclasses #sewyourclothes

One of the advantages of attending my sewing classes is that I might just be developing a pattern for something you want to make! Jen got to make my new jogger pattern and went home wearing them. It has also pushed me to get on with finishing the pattern too :-) #indiepatterns
