✨ From cushion covers to custom pyjamas — what a journey! ✨
At the beginning of 2025, this wonderful couple walked into Studio Thimbles as complete beginners. Like so many of our students, they started with a simple goal: learn to sew and gain the confidence to make their own clothes.
Their first project? A cushion cover 😊
Since then, they have shown up week after week, project after project, technique after technique. They completed Level 1, then Level 2, then Level 3, and now, at Level 4, they have created these incredible pyjama sets.
And these aren't just any pyjamas!
This project includes collars, lapels, buttonholes, piping, slash pockets, yokes, cuffs, and so many advanced sewing techniques. Every detail represents new knowledge, new skills, and hours of practice and perseverance.
What makes me most proud isn't just the finished garments — it's the determination behind them. The willingness to keep learning, keep practicing, and keep showing up even when things felt challenging (and they do at times!).
Watching students grow from complete beginners into confident sewists is one of the greatest privileges of what we do 💕
And I have to say, I'm incredibly proud of our Studio Thimbles team too. Every day, we have the opportunity to guide, encourage, and support people on their sewing journey, helping them achieve things they once thought were beyond their reach.
If you've always wanted to learn to sew but don't know where to start, start where they did 😊👌
Start with your very first cushion cover.
You never know where that first stitch might take you ✂️✨
