Jenerates by Jen Hogg

Jenerates FLEX Silicone Hemmer is now up on my website JenHogg.co.uk 😁 and on Etsy for international orders. Thank you for all the kind comments on my last post. Here it is in use on a double curve. You can use it on straight hems as well, just pin it with a wee bit of tension to inhibit the curve. And how curved can it go? Pretty extreme! #SewingSupplies #sewingtools #SewingSupplies

Jenerates Seam Circles, for adding any amount to any shape. Choose the size of seam you want to add, put your pen or pencil in the hole and follow the pattern line with the edge of the circle. Each set includes circles from 0.5-3 cm or 1/4" to 1". If you want more, add on to the line you just drew - perfect for drafting facings. Each circle has 2 centre hole options, to use with a pen or a pencil, for using on paper or with an iron-off pen onto fabric. Great for marking your stitching line when you need accuracy. Used by sewist all over the world.

New! Another #jenerates original! I was getting fed up with hot hemmers buckling with steam when I had a lightbulb moment and decided to make them in silicone. Heat resistant, a straight edge, a hem curve, two corner options, holes to let you mark the position / for pinning / to let steam through... in cm - inches are coming soon. Made in small batches in Scotland, these have been going like hot cakes. Or like hot hemmers 🤣 More info at jenhogg.co.uk - link in bio Thankyou to my daughter for the musical inspiration. I can't stop singing this. #uniquesewingtools #jeneratesoriginal #smallsewingbusiness #indiesewing #hothemmer #madebymakers #instasew #sewingequipment⁣ #sewinggadgets⁣ #sewingkit⁣ #SewingTips⁣ #SewingSupplies⁣

Here's a very quick snapshot of my Camino. My *curated* album has close to 1000 photos so no apologies for the speed at which these ones flick through. This year I returned to Burgos to finish my Camino Francés, with the Hogg Husband. 525km and 700k+ steps over 24 days of walking. And it was totally and utterly phenomenal. We saw amazing things and met amazing people from all over the world. It felt epic walking into Santiago at the end. They say the Camino always gives and I'd agree. I found this last year too, it's like pressing the reset button in your head. This year highlights included arriving into Leon on Good Friday, by chance more than design but so lucky to experience the Santa Semana processions. Also the roof tour of Santiago cathedral. And the Bishop's House by Gaudi (Astorga), walking out of O Cebriero in the snow, bathing my feet in icy rivers, walking across the Meseta, but most of all the community of pilgrims and the Albergues. My Camino clothes, I made shorts and trousers with no inside leg seam, tees, linen vests and my merino boucle jumper was a complete win. More on all of that soon. So I have my Compostela, 800km walked in 2 stages from Sept 25 to May 26. I met people who walked over 3000km, and people who *only* walked 100km. Everyone does their own Camino. We're already planning our next one. #caminofrances

This is the most useful addition I make to every bag, because why carry spec cases when you can integrate them? Pattern is the @blackbirdfabrics Bestie Bag, in medium Fabric from @catdigital at Glasgow School of Art And hello! I've been away! I finished my Camino Francés, wearing almost an entirely handmade wardrobe 😁. #sewingismysuperpower

It's @thestitchfestival next week so of course I decided to completely alter my stand this week 😬😬😬 Got a bit of hardboard plus some chalkboard paint, and printed off the text to use as a stencil /transfer kind of thing. Just rub some chalk on the back of the paper, then proton that on the board with some masking tape and go over the letters from the front. The chalk transfers to the board pretty clearly. Isn't it cool! I'm really pleased, especially because it's the first time I've tried it. This is only one half, if you're coming to StitchFest you can see it in person at J21, right hand side of the balcony. #jenerates #chalkboardsigns #imadeit

Away to Kilmelford, near Oban, for a few days with family, the video is a black beach at Seil, and the old slate quarry which makes for perfect stone skimming conditions, plus the biggest hindrance to my knitting. Yarn from @tebayservices Pattern @lilalu72 Blue Bayou Bag self drafted

On @sewingstreet Sunday morning at 8am, pitstop at Tebay of course. Only 4h to go to Redditch 😬 but hopefully no more warning lights! Also, why does my video app not have any female mechanics? Hmm. You've maybe seen this jumper in my stories, I've lived in it since I finished it in January, but I've got some serious questions about the pattern 😬 , just need to get my video evidence collated first... #sewingcommunity #knittersofınstagram

Long overdue! Any other tips for extending the life of a cutting board? I usually give it a wee rub over with a lint roller but the state of this one was way beyond that! #sewing #sewingcommunity

Why don't more bags have built in spec cases? I put one in a Bestie last year and it's the bag I use the most because it's so damn handy. Basically it's just a pocket lined in something appropriate, this time satin. #camino #sewingismysuperpower

Because anything that makes pdf patterns easier is a win, no? #hogghacks #sewingtips #sewingismysuperpower (The pattern is a self drafted project bag)

Happy Burns Night! We had our supper last night, our 34th year with the same group of friends. That's something. Our turn to host, I'm voting to keep the bunting up for a wee while. #burnssupper
