Run a bead of glue down one edge of the strip and lay out your 00 piping cord down the centre. Fold in half lengthways, sticking the glued edges together to tack in place. 3.

This Fineline glue tip is my wand of power and is how I baste the edges together on so many of the fiddly parts of my sewing projects. It's a game changer for sure! The narrow tip dispenses the perfect amount of glue and the clever cap stops the tip clogging when not in use. I use a tacky craft glue in mine but any pva glue will work fine. I always set my glue-basted seams with the iron to dry the glue and then you have no problem with it gumming up your needle when sewing. You can win a set of

If your points never quite line up, it’s probably not your sewing — it’s your foundations being off to start with. I teach this as the accuracy triangle: Accurate cutting → accurate sewing → accurate pressing. Miss one corner of the triangle, and the whole thing goes off. When your fabric is cut precisely, your foundations start strong. When your seam allowance is accurate, your pieces fit together easily and your block ends up the right size — no wrestling required. And when you press with inte

Every new project starts with a challenge: a technique you’ve never tried, a skill that feels just out of reach. But that’s exactly where the magic happens. Because every time you push through the tricky bit, you come out the other side a little prouder, a little more confident. And the best part? You don’t just keep that beauty — you can gift it. A handmade piece that says, I thought of you while I stitched this. That’s sewing well-being in a nutshell: growth, calm, and creativity — all wrapped

One of the cool things about having a large quilted panel as part of your pattern is that you can let your imagination go to town! I designed the pink patchwork version of the #SewingSpaceStation that you've been seeing, and my son Tim designed this sunset 'scape which is the second one I'm working on.

What special projects did you sew for Christmas presents? A few days before Christmas I started the task of recreating my grandson's beloved but very well worn toy rabbit. I disassembled a new one, made a pattern from the pieces and then set about reassembling it as best I could. This rabbit has satin lined ears to ramp up the thumb sucking factor. Eventually I could turn him right side out and stuff the life back into him and the result wasn't quite the same shape Bunny as I started with but he
