jeune pattern

colour blocked jeune top

April 11, 2018


Today I am sharing a colour blocked Jeune top that I made this week for Juliette using the newly released Jeune twinset pattern. I was inspired by Deborah who made a gorgeous colour blocked top during testing. To create a colour blocked Jeune top is very simple. Just choose your dissection lines, cut the traced pattern pieces then add seam allowance to the lines that you created.  I am thinking of creating a tutorial if that would be useful.  Do you also know you could make a Jeune hack and tag it on IG with #sewponyhack by the end of April to be in the running to win a little prize? Just search the hashtag for more information.

sewpony sewing series: sewpony hack

April 02, 2018


Hello! Today I am introducing you to a really fun theme that will be brought to you by the wonderful sewpony team...the sewpony sewing series! Every month (usually around the 1st of the month), 2-3 members of the team will be sewing with sewpony patterns along with a monthly theme.  This month's theme is 'sewpony hack' - hack meaning to change/chop/alter an existing sewpony pattern to create something new.  Today I am showing your two beautiful garments made by Daisy and Mijke, using the Issie top pattern and Juliette pattern.  But before I talk more about them, I want to let you know that you can join in on the fun too! I will be sharing my sewpony hack later in the week and over on IG if you would like to join in, you can find out about a cool prize you could win.  Simply upload your creation sewing along with the theme and use the hashtag #sewponyhack.  At the end of the month, Daisy and Mijke will choose their favourite and so the winner will be chosen.  On May 1st, the winner will be announced as well as a new theme and new creations!!  I will sew along each month too. This will continue until December 2018. Head over to IG to see more and find out what the April prize is!
