It’s Sew Time

I have had a love of sewing for a very long time. This is my outlet! It started with bags but now and for rather a long time its jackets.

Denim jackets either preloved or vintage and what I can put into them. And what stories they tell me.

A vintage River Island jacket that has a gorgeous shape to the front. Size 14.
In August I was asked to do a specific design on a jacket for a young man’s 18th birthday gift.
I loved the design so I kept the pattern.
As you know I never repeat a jacket so this is different material. This sunburst is on a different side to his and on a darker jacket but this is a joyful pattern and I felt this jacket needed it.
I also happen to love the top button on this jacket. How cool would this be with wide legged trousers all buttoned up. 😎

You asked so I had to do it didn’t I?
This is a purple denim jacket by a Chinese manufacturer LHTE.
The washing instructions are all in Chinese. Basically, cool wash and DO NOT TUMBLE!! Amazing what ChatGPT can tell you.
The size is 2XL but to be honest I would say it’s more size 14-16.
A Daisy back with handsewn daisies to the front. The front daisies are £15 a meter in Liberty’s. God job I didn’t buy them there isn’t it? 😉

So have you started your Christmas shopping yet? No?
Just so that we can ease you in gently, how do you fancy coming to a lovely Christmas market with a lovely village-ie feel for a lovely cause?
You do?
Well why not come along to the Ebdon Arms on Saturday and I’m sure we can give you wonderful ideas, clever makers and curators that’ll give you brilliant choices.

I know, I know, I’m a little late to this particular party, but you know, I’ve been a bit busy in one way or another! 🤷🏻‍♀️
Turning a man’s shirt into (as my dad used to say, a blaazzzze) a blouse!
This shirt has a purple hue to it in one light and is very obviously green! I’ve shortened it, shortened the sleeves and added a mixed assortment of buttons.
I bought this shirt at a vintage event I went to this year with my daughter in Bristol. This is a Chaps make of shirt which is part of the Ralph Lauren stable of companies.

I was highlighting some of the clever, creative people I trade with sometimes and as I’m wearing her earrings that she so cleverly made for me I thought I’d do a whoop whoop shout out to her.
A lady after my own heart who uses tin cans to make her earrings! I know, incredible!! 😲
Her makes are one offs and mine came in the cutest bottle too!
Rachel Baird you are amazing!! 🙌🙌

It’s Sew Time will be here next Saturday raising money for our lovely church. Handy that the venue is in the local pub too!! Cheers 🥂 A civilised way to shop, in my mind!
Why not pop over and get your Christmas gifts sorted with all the local makers and curators? 🎄

Well good morning to you all and to my new followers. Welcome along for the ride. 🥰🥰🥰

I suppose I’d better introduce myself to you and tell you about my journey to this point.
Next year will be mine and my husbands 25th wedding anniversary year. It was a case of when you know your human, you know!!
We have three children. Youngest is 22 and the oldest is 34 and one perfect grandchild who has just started school.
I started watching my mum sew with a hand cranked Singer sewing machine when I was a child. I went on to pass my apprenticeship on machines at Gossards Wonderbras aged 18. Then life and adventures happened and when my eldest was quite young and money was very tight I made her clothes.
Then came covid and I became part of a group of people who made scrub caps, masks, scrubs, spacers, and wash bags and all manner of things for the NHS. I posted a tote bag I’d made on my personal page and it went nuts. Can you make me one? Well I did! And another and another!! Then I made a lunch bag and posted that and that went nuts too!!
So that was the beginning of It’s Sew Time. Bags and baby burping cloths and other bits and bobs. I found a denim jacket in a preloved shop and thought that needs some love. By that time I’d started to do local markets which I loved, especially the people I traded with and the customers I met.
The denim jacket I’d upcycled was snaffled up by the most lovely lady and I did more and more so now that’s the main thing I sell alongside the little sewing bits I do.
Every jacket I do and I can say this hand on heart, is a one off, bespoke and most importantly NOT MADE ON AN EMBROIDERY MACHINE (simple reason… I don’t and won’t have one!). I Never Ever repeat a jacket. I’ve maybe used the material in another way on a jacket but each one is individual.

One of the photos is of a jacket I created for my grandchild. It is a balloon filled with vintage buttons with her holding it, wearing yellow wellies clutching a toy in her other hand. 🥰

So that’s me! I hope you enjoy browsing my pictures and hopefully liking my makes and if you happen along to one of the markets I attend, please say hello. It would be lovely to meet and say hello back to you. X
