BLOG — Cotton Jersey

Hi Everyone, it's Amanda of I Sew A Lot back on the Pin & Sew blog today. I really struggled deciding what to make this month as the weather has been so up and down. One minute I want to sew all the summer clothes as the sun is shining and the next I want more cardigans and sweaters as its pouring down with rain. Anyway, when I saw this beautiful Abstract Florals Cotton Jersey which Aga had just got in it definitely made my mind up it is so vibrant and summery. I decided to make the latest jumpsuit...

Hello, Samantha (@theruralsewist) here bringing you my first Pin and Sew blog post for May.I do love taking inspiration from a French clothing company called Sézane, they have a very feminine and flattering collection and I particularly love the little details they add to garments.With this in mind, I chose the polka dot jersey that I could imagine as a wrap cardigan and I immediately thought about adding some lace details to the sleeves.

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. I first spotted this Leopard Glitter Jersey in early February but it was so popular that I missed out on the chance to buy some. Fortunately when I messaged...
