Hello! How's things? Work traumas this week have meant things have felt pretty down here; so what's a girl to do? Abandon the logical, almost completed cataloguing and organising of the fabric stash and tackle a brand new pattern, of course! The pattern in question is the Hey June Biscayne blouse and here's a little spoiler: I... Continue Reading →
Hello! It has dawned on me that it's now a year since I started carving out my own little corner of the Blogosphere here at Red W Sews. I should really be writing a post about that, but it may have to wait for quieter times! For today, just in case anyone has missed it,... Continue Reading →
Hello! Hope your week's going well? This is another catch up post on my pre holiday sewing (I really did sew like a mad thing!) but it's also about a couple of makes for my girls rather than for me. I don't know whether you ever sew for young girls, but when you start looking... Continue Reading →
Hello! I've another catch up post for you today, so I'm afraid if you follow me on Instagram you may already have seen some of these photos. Sorry not sorry, I love these makes! So a few weeks ago, my colleagues and I from Halifax trailed down to London for one of those lovely corporate... Continue Reading →
Hello there! Just a very quick post today to say that, suffering from the post holiday blues, I have bitten the bullet and booked myself a place at Sew Brum! Last year's event looked to be a really good day out so I've decided to be very brave and trundle off to Birmingham for the... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Hope all's well in your world? I'm drafting this on holiday so, other than being slightly over-Disneyed at this point, all's well. The makes I wanted to show you today have been rather slow burners. Which is odd, as the pattern in question has been on my personal radar for quite some time,... Continue Reading →
Hello! Hope your week is going well? Mine has in some ways improved enormously: I don't have to go to work for nearly 3 weeks and 2 of those will be spent at Walt Disney World in Florida with all of my family, children and parents. On the one hand this is obviously incredible. Finally... Continue Reading →
Hello! Sorry it's been rather quiet around here of late, I'm afraid every spare second has been taken up with emergency stitching rather than blogging. We are now on T minus 12 before Disney happens, there's a wedding to attend next weekend (nearly finished that dress!) and this weekend we are enjoying the sun at... Continue Reading →
Hello! Hope things are good with you? I seem to be on a bit of a blogging roll at the moment, possibly because my stress levels are through the roof so I'm sewing like a mad woman! This one is actually slightly delayed as I've been trying to get nice, sunny outside photos. Yeah, gave... Continue Reading →
Hello! Me again! Just for once I have ten minutes to throw a blog post together very shortly after completing a make: the children are at gymnastics and the house is in such a state that I don't know where to start. So I'm not going to; instead I've nipped out into the sunshine, grabbed... Continue Reading →
