This edition we look at fabrics to celebrate the arrival of the
Spring months as well as the latest sewing patterns to top up your
transitional wardrobe! If you are looking for a lightweight jacket then
do take a look at four stylish patterns from the pattern designers we
stock. A lightweight jacket is an ideal companion for this time of
year and a garment you can turn to between the seasons!
Jacqui Smith shares how she made the Hovea Jacket from Megan
Nielsen with an exciting new stitched cotton from Modelo that’s
perfect for her latest trip away! Julie Bonnar discusses fabrics that
fray and how you can prevent this from ruining your next sewing
project with a little time and extra effort. Think French seams,
Pinking shears and overlocking!

MAKING THE
Hovea Jacket from Megan Nielsen
By Jacqui Smith
As the weather warms up, we start reaching for a lighter jacket – one that’s versatile
enough to pair with jeans for a casual look or layer over a dress or more formal outfit.
When I traveled to sunnier climes last month, I needed a straightforward outer layer
that would be versatile enough to complement most of my holiday wardrobe, whilst
also providing an extra layer for the cooler evenings. The Megan Nielsen Hovea
Jacket, paired with Modelo’s stitched-effect fabric, was the perfect choice!
MY PATTERN CHOICE
The Hovea Jacket from Megan Nielsen is incredibly versatile,
offering a variety of options. The basic design features a loose
fit with drop shoulders, and it comes in several lengths, ranging
from cropped to mid-thigh. Angled pockets add a functional
touch too.
The pattern can be made in various fabrics and finished with
a lining, left unlined or even made with quilted fabric. It also
offers the choice of fastening with ties or a tie belt.
I opted for a simple kimono-style jacket with no fastenings,
choosing the mid-length version with pockets starting at the
bottom hem. The design also features a collar band that helped
achieve the style I was looking for. I also lengthened the sleeves
slightly to allow for turn-backs, which were the perfect depth for
this design. The pattern is a quick sew! I was able to cut it out
and stitch it together in just over a day.
For speed, I overlocked the internal seam allowances, but a
Hong Kong finish with contrasting binding would have added
a lovely, neat touch. I also topstitched the band on both sides
– not just on the jacket side – which gave the front a cleaner
finish.
MY FABRIC CHOICE
The fabric I used was a mid-weight cotton with a lovely
quilted effect. While it isn’t technically quilted, it features
narrow, parallel lines stitched into the fabric, giving it a quilted
appearance. These lines are woven directly into the material,
making it lighter to wear than a traditional quilted fabric.
TIP: It’s always worth pre-washing the fabric to prevent any
shrinkage. Fortunately, there was no noticeable shrinkage, and
washing and drying gave the fabric a lovely soft finish!

THE END RESULT
Overall, the fabric and pattern complemented each other perfectly, and I’m thrilled with the result. This fabric would also work
wonderfully for trendy bomber jackets, like the Charlie Bomber Jacket by Jalie or the Amelia Jacket by Wardrobe by Me. It could
be paired with matching or contrasting knit ribbing, or alternatively, you could use the fabric itself as a casing with a wide elastic
inside for a sleek finish.
EDITORS NOTES

THE FABRIC:
Jacqui chose Modelo’s
Stitched Cotton from the
Kiso Collection in Ecru
(MODC211695-5004). This
fabric is quite unusual in that
it’s not quilted but almost
looks like a combination
between Double Gauze
and Kantha Quilted fabric.
This soft cotton fabric has
a stitched line detail on the
right side and quilted effect
on the reverse making it
perfect for the in-between
seasons. There are five
wonderful colours to choose
from - ecru, sand, rose pink,
olive and soft blue.

FRAYING RESOLVE
Julie Bonnar discusses how to solve the problem of fraying fabrics
What is fraying?
Fraying occurs when a fabric is cut and the threads that make
up the fabric begin to unravel. The extent to which a fabric will
fray depends upon a few factors like how the fabric is weaved,
how much wear the fabric experiences and the age of the
fabric.
Fraying can affect the overall look of a project and, if left
untreated, can weaken it or cause it to deteriorate. To prevent
fraying, it’s important to finish the raw edges properly.
What type of fabrics suffer
from fraying?
Fabrics with loosely woven structures are more prone to fraying
such as lightweight cotton fabrics like muslin or quilting cotton.
Natural fibres like linen with its open weave tend to fray unless
it’s hemmed or treated. Delicate fabrics like chiffon, tulle and
organza are also prone to fraying as they have finer threads.
Even synthetic fabrics like polyester and nylon will fray at the
edges if they’re not cut properly or finished correctly.
TIP: Blended cotton fabrics are less likely to fray like cotton
twill, linen, Lycra, modal, gauze, felt, fleece, wool, and hemp.
Ways to stop your fabric
from fraying:
Use an overlocker
This is one of the best ways to prevent fraying as it trims the raw
edges of the fabric and stitches them with a stretchy, reinforced
seam all in one go and gives a professional neat finish.
Choose the right stitch
If you don’t have an overlocker, a zig-zag stitch on your sewing
machine is a great alternative. By sewing along the fabric’s raw
edge with a zigzag stitch, the threads are grouped in place and
prevent them from coming undone.
An overcast stitch will also work, it loops the thread over the
edge of the fabric to prevent unravelling and works especially
well on thicker fabrics. It can be quite time-consuming though.
Overlocking is an easy way to neaten fabrics that
fray and keep it neat around curved areas and
adjoining seams.

Use pinking shears to cut your fabric
These serrated-edged scissors cut the fabric in a zigzag pattern
creating small, angled edges that prevent the fibres from
unravelling.
Finish with a French Seam
For a durable finish, French seams are the perfect way to encase
raw edges. This involves sewing the fabric with the wrong sides
together, trimming the seam allowance and sewing again with
the right sides together. This encloses the raw edges inside the
seam never to be seen again!
How to create a French seam that’s perfect for
encasing a frayed raw edge!
Pinking shears are best used on lighter-weight
fabrics like cotton.
Wrap raw edges with bias tape
This is ideal for more delicate areas like necklines or armholes,
where the tape acts as a protective layer, sealing the edges in
and preventing them from unravelling. It’s also commonly used
in jacket construction.
Fabric sealants
These can be applied to raw edges to prevent fraying, it coats
the fibres with a substance that prevents them from coming
loose (a little like glue)! Fray Check is one of the best ones.
Interfacing
Adding interfacing strips to a raw edge will add extra structure
and stability, especially on heavier fabrics. Fusible interfacing can
be pressed onto the fabric, reinforcing the edge and preventing
it from fraying.
Make a feature of the fraying
Some fabrics that fray such as denims and chambrays can look
pretty if left with a frayed edge. It is important to make sure the
fraying doesn’t go beyond where you want it to. This can be done
with a small zigzag stitch where you want the fraying to stop.
By dealing with fraying raw edges – your garments will
maintain their shape and integrity, even after lots of
wearing and washing!
Julie
Fray Check is perfect for fabrics that are difficult to
sew like tulle and organza!

EASTER
SEWN UP!
Sewing for Easter is a wonderful way to celebrate the season, blending
creativity with tradition!
Whether you’re an experienced
seamstress or a beginner, sewing your
own decorations, gifts, or clothing adds
a personal touch to this holiday. Easter is
all about renewal and growth, and what
better way to celebrate than with some
bright, cheerful, and fun sewing projects?
Think light fabrics, pastel colours, and
adorable motifs that capture the spirit of
spring!
One of the top Easter sewing projects
is making clothing. With Easter often
bringing together family for gatherings,
special brunches, and outdoor fun, why
not celebrate in style with your very own
homemade creations? Picture pastelcoloured
dresses, shirts adorned with
embroidered bunny appliqués, or even a
custom Easter bonnet. It’s the perfect way
to infuse a little homemade flair into this
joyful occasion!

CHOOSING FABRICS:
When it comes to fabric, lightweight cottons in
soft hues like pink, blue, green, yellow, orange,
and lavender is your go-to for Easter sewing.
These pastel shades are perfect for the warmer
spring weather and give off a breezy, light vibe.
Plus, you get to choose your own fabrics and
make the outfit truly yours! Want to go whimsical
with prints of bunnies, chicks, or Easter eggs? Or
perhaps something more sophisticated with floral,
retro, or gingham patterns? The possibilities are
endless!
Many sewers enjoy making matching outfits for
their kids or even coordinating family looks. These
personalised Easter outfits can become cherished
family traditions, creating lasting memories that
are passed down for generations and great for the
odd adorable selfie!

MAKING DECORATIONS & HOMEWARE:
Easter decorations are another great sewing project
to tackle. Fabric Easter eggs, banners, or table
runners can brighten up your home with minimal
effort. Sewing fabric eggs, perhaps stuffed with
cotton or batting for a soft touch, is a great way
to recycle old fabric scraps. You can use colourful
patterns and even embroider designs like flowers,
crosses, or Easter-related motifs for added interest.
These sewn items can be placed around the house or
used as part of an Easter egg hunt . Why not get the
children involved and decorate eggs with ribbons and
scraps of fabric.
Additionally, homemade Easter gifts are a thoughtful
way to show love and care. Small fabric gift bags or
Easter-themed soft toys like bunnies can be sewn as
unique presents for children or adults alike. Go bigger
and make a mini quilt featuring spring motifs - these
make for heartfelt gifts that will stand out in a sea of
store-bought items.
The Bunny Bunch Quilt by Elizabeth Hartman shown
here is one of our most popular quilt designs and
would make a beautiful gift. It features Basil, Blanche,
Bertie, and Button are all dressed up in their favourite
clothes. Use your favourite fabrics to piece this
adorable bunch of bunnies. Everything is made using
conventional patchwork techniques. No templates or
paper piecing. The pattern contains one small quilt
38in x 48in and a larger quilt 73in x 75in.
Sewing at Easter combines
creativity, tradition, and
the joy of the season. Whether
you’re crafting clothes,
decorations, or gifts, sewing
is an opportunity to connect
with family and friends, make
lasting memories, and enjoy
the beauty of
handmade creations.
