Why should I join the Sew Along?
The Sew Along is an event to get something made as a gift.
Run online twice a year for Valentine's Day (January) and Father's Day Australia (August) we spend 2-5 days making a set pattern from our shop. The length of time depends on what is being made which changes from event to event.
Join the waitlist for more details.
So if you struggle with a gift for Valentine's, Father's Day or even his Birthday or Christmas this is a perfect event to get something unique and heart-felt made for him.

-
I am worried this won’t fit him?
- I understand. This is why every pattern comes with Finished Garment measurements which are based upon our Standardised Body Measurements found in the Size Chart on every product page. The difference between the Body and the Finished Garment measurements are designed with comfort in mind, so you have room to move.
- In addition, each Pattern Range (Boy, Youth, Men and Men Plus) contains 5 sizes, providing flexibility for modification where needed.
- If you are still unsure which size you should buy send an email and I will get back to you with a recommendation.
-
Will this work for me if I am just beginning to learn to sew?
All sewing skill levels can successfully complete the pattern for the Sew Along. The more advanced sewers can embellish their garment with additional features should they choose to.
