Missed seeing your sewing videos. I love watching your tutorials 🥰 and looking forward to seeing more!

[@TheEssentialsClub]

Missed sharing them too! Loads more to come :))

[@lucyspearl]

On your finishing ditch stitch for the side seams, you could always use the lavender thread at the top of the machine and black bobbin thread, 😉. Great work, though, and glad to see you back in action.

That’s good to know it actually works! I’ve always been skeptical the opposite thread would show on either side
