Are you finally getting away on that sewing retreat or sewing weekend? Maybe you are thinking about it for 2027 but wonder how to get everything you need to that destination especially if you are flying. Maybe you are driving with several friends and that means that you have to be judicious in how you pack. I have been in all of those situations and today I am going to walk you through my go to strategy for getting to that sewing retreat with everything you need including a sewing machine in tow Sewing retreats away with my girlfriends are one of my favorite activities. Good friends, good food, doing something that we love! You just can’t beat it! Over the years I have attended formal sewing retreats put on by sewing organizations, weekends away organized by a friend at a retreat center or condo on the beach, and hosted them myself at my home. All of them have been wonderful in their own way. I have driven to some of them but I have also flown. So in today’s podcast I am going to walk you through what I bring and how I get it all there even when flying.  For the purposes of this podcast episode,  I am going to assume that we are flying to the destination. If you have the opportunity to drive, you probably have a little more room, but not necessarily if several of you are travelling together. Let’s dive in!

Do you admire the beautiful drape and fluidity of a rayon or viscose fabric but are afraid to sew with it? Would you love to be able to confidently sew the  flowing dresses in lovely prints that show up in your instagram feed or on YouTube? Are you afraid of tackling this fabric or just don’t know where to start? Today’s podcast episode is the 2nd in a two part series on rayon, or viscose as it is known in Europe. Rayon doesn’t have to be scary. Let’s dive in and help you confidently purchase and sew with this lovely fabric I remember when I was first pregnant with my oldest daughter and I assumed that I needed to go out and purchase maternity clothes and I remember my mom explaining to me that it would be quite a while before I needed maternity clothes but there would be this period where my current clothes didn’t fit but maternity was still too big. So we went out to TJ Maxx - it is a discount clothing store in the US and I purchased a few things with elastic waists. One of those was a matching rayon printed shorts set. I just loved it. Well I put it in the wash machine, on delicate and it came out shrunk and the dye from the print had run everywhere. I looked at the label and it was dry clean only. I had never thought to check because who on earth would want shorts and a short sleeve blouse that needed to be dry cleaned. Both garments were ruined. Well rayon has come a long way since then, but it can still be a fabric that needs a little TLC. This is part two of a two part series on Rayon. In the last episode, I explained how rayon fibers are manufactured, the different names that rayon goes by and what those names mean, and the environmental impact of rayon manufacturing. In today’s episode we are going to cover the different fabrics or substrates that are produced from rayon fibers, the pros and cons of rayon fabric and then some tips for sewing garments from woven rayon fabrics.  Resources Mentioned in This Episode: EP 22: The Many Names & Environmental Impact of Rayon Viscose Fibers https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sew-with-confidence-sewing-fabric-sewing-patterns/id6786780019?i=1000797224322 Free Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sewwithconfidencepodcast Other Resources: Join the Free Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sewwithconfidencepodcast Grab the Free Sewing Essentials Toolkit at https://www.pinkhollybushdesigns.com/toolkit Sign up for the weekly newsletter at  https://www.pinkhollybushdesigns.com/newsletter Ways to Connect: Join the Free Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sewwithconfidencepodcast Website - > https://www.pinkhollybushdesigns.com/ YouTube - > https://www.youtube.com/@PinkHollybushDesigns Instagram -＞ https://www.instagram.com/pinkhollybush/

Rayon, Viscose, Cupro, Modal, Lyocell & Tencel - are you confused yet? I certainly am! This one fiber is known by many names and each one tells you a little something different about the resulting fiber and how it was produced. So in today’s episode, I am going to help you decipher the different fiber terms so you know what you are purchasing and next week we are going to continue this conversation and discuss the different fabric substrates that these fibers are turned in to such as challis, crepe, and poplin. I will also provide some tips on purchasing and sewing with those different fabrics next week Today I want to talk about a group of fibers that you are probably familiar with but maybe don’t know the various distinctions. I'm talking about rayon, viscose, modal, and lyocell, cupro and tencel. Now, if you have ever been shopping for fabric online and wondered why one fabric is described as rayon, another as viscose, and another as Tencel, even though they all seem to have that lovely, soft drape, you are not alone. It can be a little confusing. Are these all different fibers? Are some of them just different names for the same thing? Well, that is what we are going to talk about today. We are going to cover all that as well as the environmental impact. Knowing what these names mean can help you make wiser choices when sourcing your fabric.

Are you one of those people who hate PDF patterns or do you love them? I have to admit that I started out as one of those people who hated PDF patterns but I have changed my mind and now I am one of those who love them. Well, love them or hate them, PDF patterns are here to stay, unless of course they get replaced by projector files, but that is a topic for another day. Today if you are one of the haters, I am hoping to change your mind and if you love PDF patterns I have a simple assembly hack and some storage ideas. So let’s delve in I remember the time I first tried a PDF sewing pattern. I had purchased the book Twinkle Sews by Wenlan Chia. The book came with a series of patterns on a CD in an envelope in the back. I know that I am dating myself now. I made a dress for my daughter from the book and I remember printing out what I think  was 70 pages for the dress. I can’t double check because even though I still have the book, I don’t have any way to print from a CD. But I remember thinking, PDF patterns will never take off. Well, I was wrong. PDF patterns have indeed taken off. I won’t go so far to say that they are here to stay because I could certainly see projector sewing files replacing them, but for today so many wonderful patterns are only available if you are comfortable working with PDF patterns. So in this episode, I am going to try and get you there! And if you are entirely comfortable putting PDF patterns together, stick around because I have a hack for you on how to assemble them quickly as well as some storage recommendations.

I know that cooler temperatures are on the way even if the weather hasn’t gotten the message. We want to be prepared when that cooler weather arrives. I also hear from many of you that you are afraid to sew with knit fabrics. Cozy knit fabrics are some of the easiest knits to sew, so into today’s episode I am ranking 3 cozy knit fabrics for you to try  from easiest to one that is more of a challenge. If you are a beginner to sewing with knits, the first two are definitely beginner friendly  and the last one is for those of you who have a little more experience sewing with knits.

Help - I want to purchase fabric online but how do I know I will receive something that I love? I understand - we have all been there. We want to feel the fabric, see how it drapes, feel the weight in our hands. But the reality for many of us is that we don’t have a local fabric store, or if we are lucky enough to have one, this time around it doesn’t have what we are looking for. Online may be our only option so how do we make an informed  decision so we end up with a fabric that we love? I have many tips to offer when it comes to purchasing fabric online, but today I am going to explain the key thing that I look for that consistently helps me to successfully purchase fabric online.

Do you have a fabric store near where you live? If you don’t and then you had the opportunity to finally visit a fabric store, were you able to take advantage of the opportunity? Did you have what you needed with you to make decisions in the time you had or did you get 50 miles down the road and remember the 10 things that you should have picked up? Here in the US, most of us don’t have a nearby fabric store so when we can physically get to one, it’s important to make the most of the opportunity. With a little pre-planning we can do just that.

How do you decide on the next sewing pattern or fabric that you are going to sew for yourself? Do you pick the pretty fabric and then it never gets sewn? Do you just go with the latest pattern that your favorite sewist is showing on instagram? Maybe you love a particular type of garment and you always sew that type? Do you sew for the special occasion, or for your everyday life? Don’t get me wrong, I love sewing for the special occasion, but the goal of this podcast is to help you sew garments that you love and want to wear often, so in today’s episode, I have 8 questions for you to ask yourself to help you choose the next garment you are going to sew for yourself so it one that you love and wear often Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The Free Sew With Confidence Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sewwithconfidencepodcast EP 5: Understand the 3 Types of Ease to Sew a Garment You Love: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sew-with-confidence-sewing-fabric-sewing-patterns/id6786780019?i=1000776727498 Other Resources: Join the Free Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sewwithconfidencepodcast Grab the Free Sewing Essentials Toolkit at: https://www.pinkhollybushdesigns.com/sewing-essentials-toolkit Sign up for the weekly newsletter at  https://www.pinkhollybushdesigns.com/newsletter Interested in Smocking?

Did you know that Bernina and Husqvarna manufacture over 100 specialty feet for their sewing machines and that Pfaff, Babylock and Janome make at least 60. Did you know that there is such a thing as a twin welting foot for the sewing machine? Typically only a small number of feet come with your sewing machine so you can spend a small fortune on additional feet. But having the right foot can help you achieve accurate sewing and make your garments look more polished. Now if you are someone who regularly applies double cording to your home dec projects then a twin welting foot may be worth it, but for the rest of us who are primarily sewing garments, which are the feet that probably didn’t come with your machine that are worth investing in? In today’s episode I am discussing the feet that didn’t come with my machine but that I reach for almost every time I am sewing a garment.

You have worked late into the night to finish that garment that you have been sewing. Maybe you are trying to get it finished for the upcoming trip or special event. You finish up the last details, eagerly go to slip it on and rather than admiring your beautiful self in this new garment - you look in the mirror and its disappointment. The fit is fine - if that were the problem you would dive in and start working to correct that, but that isn’t the problem. It just doesn’t look like you pictured it. It doesn’t move the way you had hoped. It doesn’t really go with that other garment the way you had imagined. It just doesn’t meet your expectations. Now what? Is all lost?
