This Mummy Sews!
The home of proud mums, handmade baby clothes, and that magical “I MADE IT!” feeling.
Hey lovely, I’m Debbie,
Expert seamstress, mum of 3, and your biggest sewing cheerleader! 🧵
Let’s get one thing straight: This Mummy Sews isn’t just about stitches and sewing machines — it’s about you.
Doing something just for yourself.
Filling your own cup for once.
Having a hobby that lights you up — and makes your baby look ridiculously cute in the process.
Whether you’ve got a dusty machine in a cupboard or you’re still googling “what even is a bobbin?”, I’ve created this sewing sanctuary just for you.
What Is This Mummy Sews?
It’s a one-stop sewing destination for busy mums who want to sew for their babies and little ones — without any faff, overwhelm, or “where do I even start?” feelings.

Hi, I'm Debbie. I'm an expert seamstress who has been sewing for my own children for the last 10 years!
I set up my successful small business 'Lola-Pops' from my kitchen table whilst on maternity leave and have grown the business to what it is today!
I want to share my skills and passion with mums, just like you, and teach you how to sew for your little ones too.
And that’s why I've created This Mummy Sews!
I help mums go from ‘I Can’t Sew’ to ‘Watch Me Go!'

WOW!!! 🥳
The Janome 9300DX is the perfect introductory overlocker for mums who’ve been dreaming about giving their handmade clothes that true shop-bought finish. Compact, sturdy, and simple to use, it takes your sewing to the next level by making the inside of your garments look just as gorgeous as the outside.
With options for 3- or 4-thread overlocking, it creates strong, stretchy seams that are perfect for baby clothes and children’s wear. The colour-coded threading system makes setup much less daunting, and it even comes pre-threaded so you can get started right away. Plus, the included instructional DVD takes you step-by-step through all the stitch options, boosting your confidence from day one.
Features like differential feed (to stop fabric puckering or stretching), adjustable stitch length and cutting width, and a quick rolled hem conversion make it versatile enough for everyday sewing and decorative finishes. Whisper-quiet operation and speeds of up to 1,300 stitches per minute mean you can sew quickly without disturbing nap times, while the extra-high presser foot lift helps when working with thicker fabrics.
If you’ve been thinking about buying an overlocker for a while, the 9300DX is a fantastic, budget-friendly way to get that professional finish on every project.
