Sorry. I know it's a really, unspeakably naff title. But I'm a little excited this evening. Sally and I have decided that we can't possibly make it through an entire year without another Leeds sewing meet up. So we're doing it all again. Yep, Sew Up North is returning, hopefully bigger and better than last... Continue Reading →
Today's post has taken me a while to write and has left me rather surprised. I got an email notification a few weeks ago that I'd been nominated for a Blogger Recognition Award by Felicity and was absolutely stunned.

And then by 10:30 yesterday, the basement of Costa Coffee looked like this: So many sewists (and... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Today's blog post may be slightly light on sewing, but it's very full of plans. Sally and I met up today to get some more detail into our plans for Sew Up North, 3 whole weeks away! And it's all starting to look pretty good. We will start the day out with an... Continue Reading →
Hi! Hope your week has been a good one? Mine's been difficult for a number of reasons which I won't bore you with, so thank goodness I'd had an amazing weekend last week!
