11 Favourite Sewing Instagram Accounts to Follow

Inspiration can strike in many forms. Shop windows, TV shows, and your best friend’s wardrobe are all perfect places to discover the spark that sets you off on a new project. For us at Good Fabric, though, our fountain of inspiration comes from the community around us. The sewists we follow on Instagram, in particular, give us a mood board of ideas that keep our creative hearts very happy.

As you can imagine, we’ve spent a fair few hours scrolling through sewing content. Luckily, though, none of that was wasted as we’ve now compiled a whole list of stylish sewists and colourful creators for an endless feed of inspiration.

Ready to turn your Instagram feed into a creative haven? Here are our top 11 favourite sewing Instagram accounts to follow.

Lana is our go-to gal for bright, bold clothing inspo where the styling is always on point.

She’s the queen of colour block, with hot pink, sunset orange, and a whole sea of blues regularly gracing her feed. Blending a sort of retro glamour with on-trend looks, Lana’s creations are divine and remind us of how joyful it is to sew a wardrobe you love.

Suna’s laid-back sewing is a dream, proving that relaxed fits are still feminine.

We’re obsessed with the earthy, jewel tones in her hand-sewn wardrobe, where florals and paisleys blend seamlessly with no-nonsense neutrals. Wrap-around dresses, statement sleeves, and long, flowing skirts are all staples of Suna’s sewing, and we’re here for this comfy chic.

Leila’s beautiful Insta blends lifestyle, mental health, and sewing for all your inspirational needs.

We’ve actually Leila met IRL and she’s as friendly and bubbly as she is on Instagram - a real gem in the sewing community. From chatting about anxiety to fabric suggestions, her feed is giving sewing guru goddess vibes, and we love the variety of pattern recommendations. Silk PJs, sportswear, full-length gowns; you name it, she’s (probably) sewn it!
