Sewing machine recommendations from real sewists!
Thank you to everyone who commented on the stories. I’ve consolidated the responses here. It’s so hard to know what to trust on the internet so it means so much you all shared your experiences with me and I hope this helps anyone else on the hunt for their dream sewing machine too.
People also said not to buy the heavy duty singer I posted on the stories. This model seems to be all over the Internet right now. Also although a few people recommended bernette by Bernina this is what I had and it had a lot of issues. But that was over 15 years ago so maybe they have improved it.
The day I posted this story my partner came home with his Mums sewing machine to use until I find my own. I can’t tell you how excited I am! It’s been just over a year since I sewed anything and I’m so so ready to get back into it! #lifeofanomad 😅

How cute is the Leo romper by Atelier Mimito?! I actually made a matching Hallon dress in this gorgeous linen fabric 🤎
This would make a perfect little gift 🎁
Sewing pattern available on the Archive website.

MOOD: Romance
Re living my 2000s love of collage to get you all excited about the #mwraidablouse
I am so in love with what @andre_sews has made, especially that fabric choice! This is definitely being added to my very long wish to make list🌹 ❤️ 💋

MOOD: Cottage core 💐
How stunning are the #dreamfrock dresses by @caitmakes and @elise_is_making 🤍🤍
I love that @elise_is_making altered the pattern to create almost a #mwzamoraskirt look.
I’m creating some mood boards to inspire my upcoming sewing projects. After a year away from sewing I can’t wait to get back into it.
I hope I’ve inspired you too.

Two confident beginner patterns featured here.
The oversized shirt made here in linen and the Blomma tank made out of silk jersey. Yes silk jersey! So lucky to find this unicorn fabric.
Both are now staples in my wardrobe.
Skirt is self drafted 🤍

If you’re after a full volume dress look no further than the Billow frock 🖤
Due to working with large pattern pieces and gathering we have decided this is a confident beginner pattern. Start with something stable like a mid weight cotton if you are fairly new to sewing. It will make it much easier.
Advanced sewer? Challenge yourself with a chiffon 🙊 Available on the online store, link in bio.

The Bobbie dress is one of my fav makes. It’s an easy beginner pattern 🤍

I’ve been a bit slow on social media due to starting the year with flu. But here’s a few of my ins and outs for 2025. We’ve got a few new designers launching soon so watch this space.

I need the Marle Bolero in my life 🤎 Can someone please teach me to knit?! I know I keep saying it but I think 2025 might be the year to learn to knit, anyone else setting this goal?
