Off on a Jolly!

Just to let you know, I'm off on a jolly! I'm leaving the shop in the capable hands of my best buddies Sally & Sarah.  So pop  in and see them and keep them busy!! Back, bright eyed and bushy tailed, on Monday! X

Rag Rug Workshop

Here's the industrious Rag Ruggers at the Workshop!! Great fun, chat & cake!

Customer Make!

We love it when a customer shows us, what they've created, with our fabrics and patterns!  So here is Marilyn, in the Anna Dress, (pattern from By Hand London - we stock!) and made up in the gorgeous 1920's Splendor from Art Gallery Fabrics (another of my favorites - you can never have too many humming birds!! )

Workshop Samples!!!

We've been busy making samples...

Fun with a Glue Gun options , rose hair clips and magnetic decorated pegs! So you and your fridge can look wonderful !!

Felt Flower Corsage, a bunch of flowers brooch - Perfect for that spring jacket!

And finally, a Beach Hut Key Fob - so your keys will feel like summer, all year long!

Come and join us, for evenings of creativity, tea, cake and lots of fun!! Xxx

Squeezed out

Less than a metre on the bolt = time to play!!

After an email from a customer in USA, with the perfect top pattern (possible to sew at airports!). I scoured EBay for this out of print pattern and it arrived this week from Storm Lake, Iowa. With a bit of pattern tracing and fabric jiggling..,

Workshop leftover

What to do with a leftover sample bird, from the Embroidered Birds Workshop?

Add key chain and hey presto - a feathered friend key fob!!

Bondaweb life saver!

What would we do without the miracle product - Bondaweb!! Usual last minute badge sewing for Scout camp tonight!!
