More fabric...!

Phew, more cotton print fabric from Art Gallery Fabrics & Cloud9 Fabrics!! Patterns from Grainline Studio (my favourite sweatshirt pattern!), more colours in the picot foldover elastic & some beeswax & marker pens 😊

Shop Fabric Samples

I always like to show examples of our fabrics & patterns made up. I think it brings a flat fabric or drawing to life. Some are hanging around the shop & some we can be seen wearing! Sometimes it's tricky to keep up as the fabrics fly out of the door!

The moment I saw our gold metallic fabric, my Great Gatsby love came out! So this simple evening shrug was born. It's also a sample for our Evening Shrug Workshop (Tuesday 28th June), perfect for summer evenings.

The knickers are one sample you won't be seeing me wear! I love this woven cotton gingham, such a lovely fabric to sew & press. They take a 1/4 metre & can be trimmed in lots of different ways.

Happy Sewing 😊

FOE crazy!

You'll know by now, I have a love of FOE or fold over elastic, to give it, it's full name!  It's easy to apply & binds and gathers at the same time.  Another bonus is, it comes in different colours, some patterns & now with a picot edge!

My other great love is lingerie ;)

My Lingerie City & Guilds was worth every minute! It was more based on woven than stretch fabrics, but many of the principals are the same. 

It's also a great way of using up fabric scraps!!
