We are holding our summer party on Saturday 1st August, but this year, we are taking it online! It will be a fun day where we can share lots of sewing and fabric-related fun. And the great thing this year is, location is not an issue! The event is open worldwide. What is happening on […]
We are holding our 1st birthday party on Saturday 1st February to celebrate a year of hard work and to give the sewists of the South West (and beyond) a chance to meet up, talk about our favourite hobby, stroke some lovely fabrics and show off our handmade finery. What is happening on the day? […]
The fact that I have made two pairs of Jenny Overalls in the last week, should go some way to show just how much I love this pattern! (Spoiler altert!) Jenny is the latest release from Closet Case Patterns and it comes with a multitude of style options. I have opted for the mid calf […]
I have taken in part in Me Made May for the last few years and am really pleased to be taking part again this year. So pleased in fact, that I am getting involved even further by offering a discount to participants during the last week of May! Zoe, who organises the event, will be […]
