I joined my first @twigandtale.bsky.social Sew + Show for the Leaf Hip Pouch! I was gifted the pattern as part of the group and made this lovely Kawakawa leaf flap version - got Mum to model for me in the rain and I love how it turned out. It's a quick and cute sew :)

The most important learn-to-sew tip you were never given when you started - come learn all about seam finishes for your sewing projects! www.twigandtale.com/blogs/twig-a... #Sewing #SewSky #TwigAndTale #GarmentSewing #LearnToSew
A graphic shows a photo of four different fabric swatches laid atop one another, joined together with different seam finishes:

The top, a pink fabric, is joined with flat felled seams.
The next one down, a blue chambray fabric, is finished with Hong Kong/Bound Seams using a small-scale white floral fabric.
The next one down, the pink fabric again, is joined using French Seams.
The bottom swatch, in yellow fabric, is finished with zigzag stitches.

At the bottom of the graphic is a digital element which looks like dark blue torn paper, with a gold pin and Twig + Tale twig logo, and the wording "On The Blog: Finishing Seams" in white lettering.

An in-hoop example of the Seam Ripper Victory embroidery pattern by Twig + Tale is shown, with a neutral-coloured room in the background. In hand embroidery, the pattern features two seam rippers (shown here in shades of pink) with a laurel wreath surrounding them.

Two children stand on a white sandy beach, wearing fabric Wings made from Twig + Tale PDF sewing patterns. The taller child with brown hair is wearing a pair made from the Woodland Sprite Wings pattern which are a dainty light pink color. The smaller, blond-haired child wears a pair of Gum Emperor Wings, made from a beige background fabric with bold red appliques. Both Wings are made more magical with the addition of lace/ribbon streamers which were added to the top corners, and are flowing in the wind.A closer-up look at the Gum Emperor Wings in flay-lay - the beige background fabric has a subtle print while the red appliques are a plain color. The Wings are laid on a tablecloth with undulating stripes, and a bouquet of dried flowers is partially in view on the top.

Doing any storybook sewing right now? Between World Book Day, Carnival, Ren Faires, and more, we love seeing our creative community bringing their stories to life in needle and thread! 📸 A delightful pair of modified Wings and Pathfinder Vest by EK Palmer #Sewing #SewSky #TwigAndTale
A small child runs towards the camera in front of a forested + grassy background. The child is wearing a costume inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle - it was made by adapting the Wings patterns from Twig + Tale to look more like the butterfly wings at the end of the book, and snapping them to a Pathfinder Vest that was made from vibrant ice-dyed green and red fabrics. The pocket features a large strawberry applique with a black "hole" in the center. The hood of the vest also has small purple antennae.The Very Hungry Caterpillar costume is shown from the back - the Wings are made from a variety of different ice-dyed fabric scraps, to look similar to the mosaic style of the original book.
