Sending a post to stories
This is a series of tutorials for people who are interested in becoming part of the SewOver50 Instagram social media team. The skills each team member has builds over time and we help each other build our social media skills together.
Each team works behind the scenes on this Instagram account, creating posts and stories to raise the visibility of older sewists. Direct message Sandy on the SewOver50 account if you’re keen to both expand your skills and share your love of sewing within the 4 teams
Tagging friends in stories
When putting someone’s post in your stories, add their instagram name so they can reshare your story. It’s also nice to make sure your IG friends know how much your posts mean to them.
Disappearing messages
If you see that your messages in a group chat come up as ‘disappearing message’, have a look at this tutorial to fix what is known as ‘Vanish mode’. This tutorial is more aimed at helping you problem solve with your direct messages on Instagram.
Carousel, Reel and story dimensions
Once you get used to the Instagram dimensions on carousels, reels and stories, your online efforts will be easier to see. Especially your sewing projects!
