BLOG — Cotton Jersey

Hi fellow sewers, I'm Ruth(@ruthiesews)and this is my first blog post as part of the Pin and Sew Blogger Team. I hope you enjoy it! I love so many of Aga's fabrics, which I think are just that little bit unusual, but I finally decided on this one called 'Watercolour Succulents': I even love the name!   Then I had to decide what to make and became very indecisive. The jersey is really a lovely quality cotton, which is very stable.I was so tempted to make a dress, as I so often am, but I let the sensible part of...

Hello, I'm Cherry (@goingtoneedstitches) and I'm delighted to be contributing to the Pin and Sew blog. I'm sharing a t-shirt I made for my daughter, who is 2.5.  I had some of this lovely striped cotton jersey left over from a dress I made (this fabric is extra wide so you can squeeze more out of it than you think!), so decided to make something for my little one. I love patterns with extra details so was very taken by  the Banana Boat Tee by Lil'Luxe Collection. This was recently released as part of a collaboration of different designers for Project...

Hi everyone, I am Jenny – you can find me at @jennylovestosew over on Instagram and I was thrilled to be given an opportunity to write this guest blog for Pin & Sew.   Along with sewing I also enjoy taking part in the sewing challenges that often crop up over on Instagram and when #sewingpatternsandprints announced that March’s challenge was #sewingmetallicmarch I knew that I already had the perfect fabric.

The challenge theme for March is ‘metallics’ and Aga has some incredibly beautiful fabrics that meet this theme. I love space themed prints, especially stars, so the Galactic Glitter...

Hi everyone, my name is Dani and I write a sewing blog over at Pocket or Two. I am incredibly excited to share with you today the Dino Jersey Metro Tee I made for my partner Logan.  When I spotted the khaki coloured origami dinosaur jersey fabric on Pin & Sew’s website I immediately asked my partner if he’d like a new tee shirt. I was even more excited when Aga got in touch and asked if I’d like to write a blog post on my planned make with it for Pin & Sew. I sew a lot for myself; to be honest,...
