Shelby, Sophie, Tash, Kate & Lil 🥂✨

A lovely candle-making session for Shelby’s hen night! 🕯️💍 It went down so well, and I’m already looking forward to hosting more candle-making sessions in my shop.

Thank you for choosing to celebrate such a special occasion with me — you girls were brilliant! 💕

If you’re looking for something a little different for a hen do, birthday, girls’ night or just a fun day out, candle making is definitely one to try! 🕯️

🧵What a fantastic start to Minycled’s beginner sewing workshops!

A huge thank you to Ashleigh for joining my very first beginner sewing class. She brought along her own sewing machine and a project to make covers for some small cat platforms.

During the workshop, Ashleigh learned how to thread her sewing machine, wind and thread the bobbin, and choose the correct needle for her project. She was also introduced to the overlocker and my automatic sewing machine. By the end of the class, she was confidently using both!

The highlight of the day was seeing Ashleigh complete her project. As a foster carer for cats, she’ll now be able to make many more platform covers for the cats in her care. It’s always rewarding to see someone leave with new skills and a finished project.

Thank you, Ashleigh, for being part of Minycled’s very first sewing workshop. I can’t wait to see what you create next! 💚

If you’ve always wanted to learn how to sew or build your confidence with a sewing machine, why not join one of our beginner

A little shop update! ✨

Today I’m showing off my finished upcycled storage chest, which is now home to my fabric collection, along with a repurposed table that’s become storage for all my electrical equipment. I didn’t film that transformation, but I’m really pleased with how it turned out.

The back of the shop is finally looking much more organised after a lot of sorting, moving, painting and upcycling. If you saw yesterday’s post, you’ll know how much work has gone into it. If not, the full transformation video is over on TikTok.

Today was also the first day for my lovely work experience student, Isobel, from Torquay Girls’ Grammar School. She’ll be with me until Saturday and will also be returning later to support some sustainability work as part of her project portfolio.

I’ve been a little quieter than usual recently. Those who know, know. It’s been a challenging start to the year, but we’re getting there.

Finally, a gentle reminder to support independent businesses if you can. We only exist because customers choose to shop with us. When you spend with independents, you’re helping keep money in the local economy, supporting local jobs and helping small businesses continue serving their communities.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Minycled and other independent businesses. It really does make a difference. ❤️

Mastering the Machine: Three Creative Mornings
Real skills. Professional tools. No "kid versions."

We noticed that most "creative" sewing classes for kids are just about making a mess with glue and felt. That’s not what we do.

Three Creative Mornings is for the young person who wants to sit down at a machine and actually understand how it works.

We teach them to sew properly, from the very first stitch, so they can walk away with the confidence to make, mend, and design their own style.

Kids 3-Day Sewing Intensive – 28–30 May 2026
Price: £90.00

Walk with me to my shop as I take a more scenic route today.

I’m a slow fashion independent business located on Lucius Street, Torquay. If you’re passing by, why not pop in and discover beautiful organic cotton pieces, alongside unique upcycled creations?

We also have 100% organic jumpers, each featuring one-of-a-kind artwork.

Mend It May ♻️

Not great at mending? You’ve still got two solid options:

1.  Start learning to mend your clothes
2.  Shop your own wardrobe

Before you buy anything new, try one of these first.

Our “Shop Your Own Wardrobe First” 5-step guide shows you exactly how to restyle what you already own, find forgotten pieces, and build outfits without spending a penny.

 Download it from our Shopify shop and give it a go. You might not need that “new” outfit after all.
