Sewing Quiz! - Just For Fun

Last Christmas we posted a Sewing Quiz here on sussexseamstress.com, and on our facebook and instagram pages. But those posts are hard to find here in the future, so we thought we’d share it permanently on this blog post so that more people can have a bit of fun.

Below you will find an image with 8 cryptic clues, each representing a sewing term. See how many you can work out!

And don’t worry, we won’t make you suffer, you can reveal the answers below if you just can’t get one or two. There’s no competition here, it’s just for fun. So grab a cup of tea or coffee and get those brain cells working :)

Note for Americans : A couple of these clues are for the British version of sewing terms that are different in the USA. By all means have a go, but keep that in mind.

If you’re looking for a different kind of quiz, then also check out our Sewing Crossword Puzzle.
