Is it Sew-Jo or Sew-No!
Episode 23 is our sew-jo episode, or more aptly named, our sew-no episode! This month Gemma and Kylie are catching up on what's been happening in both their worlds: the new sewing classes at Sewing Gem, and all the exciting things going on at Kylie and the Machine, including new products, tutorials, and a very exciting advent calendar. Kylie's been busy with home DIY projects, and Gemma's been making garments in preparation for her next block of sewing classes. Plus we're sharing our top sewing tools that we keep coming back to time and time again.

Is it CAKE or ICING?
We spend so much time sewing “icing” pieces, the special occasion outfits that only see daylight once or twice a year. But what about the CAKE? The everyday pieces that carry your wardrobe, the ones you reach for again and again. In today’s episode, we’re talking about shifting your focus from icing to cake, and why building more wearable, repeatable pieces will make your sewing fun and exciting again!

There's SOOOO many Panels...making the Ines Dress
We’re back for the first episode of 2026! This time we’re giving you the full run-down on the classic Ines Dress, a brilliant, easy-to-fit make, perfect as an everyday staple to something a bit more fancy, depending on your fabric (and your mood).
It’s not a quick sew, with 13 panels plus a lining, this one’s got plenty to sink your needles into, so pop the kettle on and settle in for some satisfyingly serious sewing.
