Life lately here in The Modern Sewing Co. studio. ☀️

Creative block happens to even the most enthusiastic sewists. 💭 We’ve had several DMs recently asking what we do when sewing inspiration disappears, so we put our heads together to share what *actually* works for us. Here are a few of our favourites:

🪡 “Change your point of view. Go out and get in front of art, fashion and fabric shops. When I need some inspiration, I’ll research what’s on and see what clicks.” - Hetty

🪡 “Make a mood board. Pull little fabric swatches from your stash and pair them with threads, buttons and sketches. You’ll see your fabrics completely differently.” - Hetty

🪡 “Let yourself be bored. A long, aimless walk with no route and no goal can help - you often find inspiration along the way as you mull the problem over.” - Em

🪡 “Change it up. Sometimes the best thing is to sew something small and unrelated, then once you go back to the first piece, it can feel a bit fresher.” - Emily

🪡 “Visit a vintage store. You can find so many textures, colours, shapes and little details that feel like they have their own story - and inspire you to create a new one.” - Hanni

We hope these help you get excited about that project that you might be stuck on! 🤍 We put together even more tips from us all over on the Journal, including podcast and shop recommendations for when you need to get out from behind the sewing machine. You can find them via the Journal link in our bio. 👋

1️⃣ The Over Shirt, a classic workwear jacket
2️⃣ The Unisex Shirt, our evolution of a traditional men’s shirt
3️⃣The Classic Shirt, a timeless wardrobe staple with a modern cut
