[SBY] Recording is ready and next session details
|
Hi Reader, The replay from Saturday's SBY Live is now available in MemberVault. Despite the heatwave (and several of us admitting we'd completely lost our sewing mojo!), we had a really productive afternoon helping each other solve sewing problems. This week's session included:
There were also some lovely success stories by the end of the session, with members solving problems they'd arrived with and leaving feeling much more confident about tackling their projects. If you missed the live session, or you'd like a refresher on any of the techniques we discussed, head over to MemberVault where you'll find the recording, together with the full session summary and key takeaways. NEXT SESSION: Saturday 11 July 2026 - see you then! Will be Happy sewing! Vee 💜

I thought it would be a morning’s project but what followed involved moving furniture, sorting fabric for Vinted and...
Hi Reader, Her: You could take a leading role. Me: What?? Me?? NO! I can’t do that! Her: Why not? Me: well...... [scrambling to think of a valid reason] .... I can’t sing Her: You can learn to sing. Me: [mind blown] Really!? This was the conversation I had backstage with Sam, the leading lady of The Boyfriend, the first musical I was in and only the second show I’d ever been in. I was an ensemble member. Up to then I had assumed that singing was something you were naturally good at. I had no...
