This week I'm looking at sustainable sewing inspired by the Great British Sewing Bee. I've found a couple of free waistcoat & dress patterns plus some ideas for upcycling in general, along with the usual discounts & giveaways for 2 sewing machines. This is Day 76 of 100 Days of Sewing.
Some of the discounts end soon so watch now so you don't miss out.
