Thistledown Marl as a Cocoon Jacket
Heart of Huddersfield's Thistledown Marl plus the Cocoon Jacket sewing pattern, equals a perfect afternoon sewing session!
I wanted to create a garment that was casual and comfortable but also classic in style and in the end I chose the Sew Different’s Cocoon Jacket because I think it suits this fabric and has enough structure to hold the sculptural shape of the cocoon, whilst still being fluid and drapey enough to create a soft jacket. This one will be ideal for popping on in winter with a roll neck and jeans!

Bag Making With Yorkshire Tweed
Hi, I'm Emma & I make bags. Here's a short piece written by me for Fabworks about bag-making using the new Heart of Huddersfield range of wool tweeds.
As a maker of bags, my fabric radar is almost always set to ‘tweed’, its like I can smell it! I was once driving back from a sewing weekend in Malhamdale, stopped for coffee in the middle of nowhere and discovered a small quilting shop with a whole wall full of the stuff. Heaven! I love using wool, not only can I stitch it on my domestic sewing machine, but it is also hard-wearing and water resistant, which means that it is the perfect alternative to leather for the home sewist when bag making.

Dawn's Diary: Leopard Shadows
When we decided that Leopard Shadows viscose and cotton jacquard was going to be our Fabric of The Month my immediate thoughts were; which colour shall I choose?
There are three beautiful colourways in this collection: Cream, Dark Magenta, and French Navy. It can be difficult to choose which one to go for when you’re a bit of a fabric addict, so if you take a shine to all of them the only thing to do is take them all!
Making A Double Sided Cosy Woollen Throw
We still have a couple more cold winter months to endure, so if you're feeling the chills and need a project to create simple but cosy throws, here it is .........
There's no difficult stitching when making a double sided throw, but there is some maths, and I always like to check (twice) before committing to stitching, because unpicking a 2m length through mohair or other longer pile fabric isn't fun.

The Overlocker Diaries #2
I am starting to regard my Elna overlocker as an aid rather than a challenge, and can see how using it will become another stage in my dressmaking with many types of fabric. Having begun by trying it out on scraps and then the fabric edges of the Ash Linen and Cotton culottes I made, I am moving forward...
