The details maketh the shirt is the presentation you'll love watching by Pete Sews at the Australian Sewing Guild's first online Autumn Sewing Celebration on 27 March 2021. 

Pete has a flair for detail and accuracy when he sews, come along on a little journey where fingers get very close to the iron, pinning is preferred and you'll realise the true meaning of 'measure twice, cut once'!

In this presentation Pete will take you through his techniques for adding detail stripes to a cuff, fitting a contrast accent to your yoke seam and everyone's favourite, felled sleeve seams by sewing down the rabbit hole! Pete will be available during and after the presentation to field questions and provide clarification. 

You'll get the chance to ask each presenter questions on the day at the Autumn Sewing Celebration and have access to all the presentations for 6 months.

Louise Sparrow, Chair of the Australian Sewing Guild is back for her last planned podcast for 2020. There may be more before 2020 comes to a close but for now Louise and the Board are taking a well earned break based on this year's monthly sewing challenges and online sewing workshops.

December's challenge is to sew a Christmas stocking. It's that simple. Go to town and be as creative as you want in this challenge. Leave no notion unused and dive into your stash to create the Christmas stocking you want Santa to fill.

There is a random draw prize so no judging will take place. Everyone is a winner. You have to be in it to win it.

Louise Sparrow, Chair of the Australian Sewing Guild is back to tell us about a special online couture sewing presentation bought to you by Kenneth D King. In this 90 minute presentation, Kenneth teaches us how to sew couture strap seams via Zoom.

There are 2 more online workshops this month. You can finesse your skills when sewing a lined vent. You can also learn how to sew in an easy-sew collar stand. This workshop and previous online workshops will help members to put their new sewing skills into practice for the November challenge - Stitch a Shirt. 

Everyone's invited to join these events. Make sure you never miss an ASG Monday podcast.

Kenneth D King is managing his anxiety by sewing Barbie clothes and you'll also hear his story and how having a library of sewing patterns that fit are what he recommends for people who love to sew.

The Australian Sewing Guild is about to launch #memademonday in October. This is a challenge to showcase what you've sewn while you've been in social isolation.

Every year a similar challenge #memademay is fairly similar and runs everyday in May.

The ASG October challenge on the 4 Mondays in October is your chance to showcase your sewing projects on instagram and on facebook. Make sure you note the pattern used, fabric used, any details about the project and use #memademonday and #australiansewingguild. You might enjoy this challenge and take us Memademay next year.  Go on! 

Have you been sewing but have no where to show your work? The Australian Sewing Guild (ASG) has a fun October challenge #memademonday

You know #memademay so you'll be able to share (brag) about your sewing - the patterns, fabric, the challenge, your final view about what you've made.

This is really simple and you only need to use #memademonday and #australiansewingguild. There are 4 Mondays in October so this is dead simple to inspire others who are looking for their sewjo. Are you convinced now?

Why not bundle this challenge into other challenges that will be running in October like #magamsewalong? The choice is yours to share.

Louise Sparrow is back to update us about 2 new online workshops and the next sewing challenge for September. The Australian Sewing Guild aims to share and further the art of sewing for their members. 

ASG has evolved to provide online sewing workshops this year and their members have been thrilled with their ability to adapt to our 'new normal'.

Catch up on previous ASG podcasts on their podcast blog post. ASG podcasts transcripts are also available on the podcast blog post.

The September challenge uses a pattern by Peppermint Magazine.

Another Australian local supports sewists and Australian Sewing Guild members with special discounts. Alison is the pattern designer and blogger for Lorelei Jayne patterns working from her home in Perth, Western Australia.

Alison has so many resources for sewists that are just starting on their sewing journey.

Louise Sparrow updates us on the Pleated Skirt challenge. With the lockdown in Melbourne, Speciality Pleaters will be closed for 3 weeks. This challenge is being extended to ensure everyone gets their pleated skirt made. You still have time to join this challenge. There's more time to get your project done.

Also get ready for more workshops. The triangle bound buttonhole and banded v-neckline workshops are being run again. Keep an eye out for the new shirt making technique workshops about to be launched. These workshops are great for new sewists and there is a more challenge workshops for experienced sewists.

The Australian Sewing Guild has a number of Industry Partners. Some offer Guild members special discounts. Draft T Studio is one of those Industry Partners that does just that.

Have a listen to Trish Hargrave to hear about her online sewing classes.

Trish has since launched the online dress course and the online trouser course. These online workshops are specific to teaching and creating block patterns using The Pattern Drafter.

This month ASG are running more workshops and they're all online too. The initial bound buttonhole workshops were free to members as the ASG tutors were getting used to using Zoom to run these workshops. Members also had this time to get used to using Zoom for workshops. 

This experiment has really paid off, making ASG workshops more accessible to everyone globally.

Louise chats to Maria about the new workshops that are filling up fast. Go to our podcast website to listen to previous ASG podcasts. Keep an eye out for the transcripts ASG are preparing so their podcasts are more accessible from this month onwards.
