‘Nothing, ever, is worth closing your heart over.’ Michael A. Singer By the age of 19 I found myself alone in a foreign country, I needed an algorithm to survive the whirlwind of decisions I didn’t know how to make. Intuition became my guide. When something felt right, regardless of common sense, societal expectations, I…

Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do My name is Stewart Francis Easton and I am a multidisciplinary artist based in London. My practice centres around stitch and exploring ways to allow the process of hand stitching to feed into other areas of my life. Why do you use fibre? I started…
Before I embarked upon sewing my own clothes a year ago, I (re-)started knitting. But because I am 100% impatient, I was always looking for patterns with thick wool (the thicker – the better to be honest). Until I found Good Night, Day – my personal holy grail when it comes to modern, easy knitting…
When I’m treating the menstrual cycle, I feel a sense of fusion. The fusion of the individual experiencing reconnection back to themselves. When we look at any type of dysfunction or disharmony within the body, we can often trace it back to a moment of disconnection. A moment or moments of active or passive separation…
Those of you that have already read my first entry ‘Diary of a novice Sewist’, will maybe remember, that PANTS were quite the challenge for me. For weeks… When I started making my own clothes in February, I predominantly found patterns through Instagram. It didn’t take long for my paths to cross with the Persephone…
When I first looked through FS patterns, I didn’t notice the RIVA collection. Looking at it closely, this pattern bundle not only contains the perfect wardrobe staples with timeless designs but also featured outstanding detail. Funny story, I never had a classic white shirt – please don’t blame me – but in all honestly, I used…
What does it mean to be well? This is a question I ask myself, every single day. To be more precise, I ask myself; how does this person sitting before me feel, when they are well? This question is at the root of everything that I do and every decision I make as an acupuncturist….
When I think of Christmas, I think of the smell of oranges, freshly baked Vanillekipferl (Austrian cookies coated in vanilla sugar) and of blown out candles. I think of the city that seems to sparkle with the festivity of Christmas lights and you can just about see every single snowflake illuminated. Christmas markets, where you…
Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do. My name is Ella. I’m 29, a proud first-generation American, now Californian, and a home garment sewist by night. By day, I work for a nonprofit foundation connected to Levi Strauss & Co., offering hardship support for Levi’s employees and retirees. When people in our…
Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do. My name is Sara and I live in Northern California with my husband and 3 young boys. All I ever really wanted was to raise a family, and I married my love when I was 19 years old and began doing just that! I’ve dabbled…
Linen for babies? 1000% yes. I’d love to share how I became so sure of this decision and show you something truly adorable. If you’re reading articles from the thread often, you may already know the natural benefits of linen. If you’re new here, I’ll go ahead and share just a few of these benefits….
Editors Note: Please keep in mind Sophie is writing from the perspective of a new sewist. We do not encourage you to follow her method for sewing your Capucine robe from the unwashed IS010 fabric, this may lead to a poorly fitting robe, rippled seams, and hems. Interfacing is not required, and fusible interfacing will…
Just like I announced in my last entry, today I would like to replace fear and anxiety with some inspiration. Some of you might remember the keywords IRONING and ZIPPER. I will talk about both of these in some detail today. But I promise you, it’s not that horrible and it won’t hurt. You have…
Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do. For a few years, I worked as a mixed animal veterinarian in both general practice and at a non-profit sanctuary (think dogs, cats, hedgehogs, mice, cattle, horses, pigs, chickens, eagles, hawks, snakes, camels, and zebras). Then I decided to go back to graduate school to…
Before I tell you what this ‘Diary Of A Novice Sewist’ is going to be about, I would like to take a minute to introduce myself. My name is Sophie and I live in Vienna together with my partner and our son. It just so happens that it is not very common or considered modern…
