Sewing machines are back in vogue
Stitching just got trendy
Stylish new sewing machines and accessories are hitting the shops, proving that sewing is replacing knitting as the on-trend skill to learn - at any age.
Shops like John Lewis are encouraging customers to get busy with a needle - their haberdashery department has everything from pin cushions to a starter sewing machine. We love this retro red design (£49) - it's perfect for repairing clothes or making Christmas gifts.
And if supplying great sewing buys wasn't enough, they're also offering in-store sewing classes to give you expert advice and top tips.
