I’m so excited to share with you that my daughter Jacqueline has been sewing shopping in Belgrade, Serbia!
The reason this is just so special to me is that I’m half Serbian myself, as my late father is from Nis, Serbia.
Jacqueline was lucky enough to have a trip to Serbia to both visit coaching clients of hers and meet some of our family!
I can’t wait to visit there with Jacqueline next time.
As always while traveling we love to check out the sewing shops and sewing venues. Jacqueline did this and you can see her findings in this video below:
Pozamanterija, Te Merkator, Bulevar, Umetnosti 4, Novi Beograd
Next we made our way to visit Lisa Comfort at Sew Over It. This is a gorgeous shop, it is so cute and pink and filled with all things sewing! It also has a delicious sewing cafe inside where the cakes are made by local bakers.
Lisa fell in love with sewing when she was 11 and made her first skirt. A year later her parents gave her a sewing machine and she has never looked back since.
Lisa started??Sew Over It in a response to the growing feeling that sewing was becoming a lost skill. Lisa hopes to pass on her passion for sewing through Sew Over It and encourage more people in London to pick up a needle and thread!
Meet Lisa in the video interview below and learn about her most recent project – the launch of her first sewing book!
Take a tour of Sew Over It and check out inspirational projects students making in the video below.
Sew Over It consists of an upstairs shop and sewing class area as well as a gorgeous downstairs sewing room which is just so pretty in pink!
Great feature wall – Just Keep Sewing, Sewing , Sewing!
A table full of buttons and haberdashery that trick the kids into thinking they are sweets!
Sew Over It – range of sewing classes available.
Thank you Lisa for a lovely visit to Sew Over It, we look forward to visiting again soon.
We highly recommend visiting Lisa at Sew Over It to join a sewing class, enjoy a cup of tea and cake and look through the assortment of fabrics and haberdashery!

Our next stop on our London 2012 Sewing Tour was to Saturday Sewing Session. It was here that we were greeted by the lovely Arianna Cadwallander!
Arianna Cadwallader, spends much of her time creating bespoke wedding dresses and headpieces. She has a background in fashion publication and film, having worked in high-end glossy magazines and the costume department of some much loved feature films including Bridget Jones Diary 2 and Harry Potter 4! Wow!
In the video below I interview Arianna over a cup of tea as she tells us all about working on major films and her inspiration behind creating Saturday Sewing Session.
Take a tour of Arianna’s sewing studio and learn about the classes and workshops she offers.
