👋Hey cuties, welcome to this cozy corner for all things in plant-based sewing! To kick us off, please share what you are sewing or dreaming up, from first experiments to long-term obsessions. A short intro plus a photo of your latest work-in-progress or pattern/fabric haul fits perfectly here. I'm so happy to be here with earthy, creative people who are kind, curious, and open to learning together! 🥰
Hi linen lovers! 🧵 There are some changes coming that involve the relocation of this group... As you might have seen in my recent emails and videos, on November 19th I will start offering a new year-long linen garment sewing program/challenge, and the Charlie Darwin community forum will move into it. This current community forum will be sunsetting at some point on or after November 19th, 2026. I would LOVE to see you in the new one! 🥰You can join the waitlist at the link above. It will be a paid experience that includes all my patterns, a workbook, design and fit guidance, and guided group sew-alongs/creative challenges. If you choose to join, I believe you will get much more out of it! If you're curious about the decision, here's why I'm doing it 🔽 1. The new community (and program) will be hosted on a different platform that has a much better…
Please* Where is the fee amount posted for the annual fee for this soon coming annual - monthly sew-along? I need to know how to plan.
Hi to all! I have a linen shirt that I got burger grease on. I treated it immediately with Tide stick and washed it but the grease didn't come out. Then I tried to wash it with a stain treater bar (I've already forgotten the name of) from Home depot. No luck in getting it out.
I have not put it in the dryer.
Any ideas?! Thanks in advance!
Thanks, everyone! I love that there's a place I can drop a random question and get answers from folks who've run into the same question themselves. 🧼
Hi, I’m so happy to be joining you all. I like the idea of making one high-quality garment a month, and this will be a good accountability group, while still keeping it fun! I love to sew and I make a lot of things and share on YouTube and Instagram and really having the desire lately to turn into more natural fibres. I i’ve bought many of the patterns and am looking forward to checking the rest out as I go along. I’ll include a couple of my Charlie Darwin makes. There is a great fabric store in Portland, Oregon, called Josephine’s dry goods that has very high quality linens. And the owner, Bini gives great advice.
Love all your makes! I'm going to Portland in a couple of weeks. I'm definitely going to check out Josephine's.
Starting from scratch wanting to make some simple clothes for myself. Haven’t sewn for decades, so a bit lost. But want to find real linen fabrics to create with.
