Hi there! Time for another quick Sew Up North update! We've already shared with you the lovely raffle prize offered by Minerva Crafts and the discount offered to all attendees by Sew Essential. However, there's lots more to come! The next contribution we were offered for the charity raffle prize fund is one I will... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Just a quick post today; as promised, Sally and I have been working hard behind the scenes for Sew Up North on June 24th. We've got a little trip out planned to taste test the food at the Belgrave (well, rude not to!) but more importantly, we've been lining up lots of lovely... Continue Reading →
Hurrah! For the first time this year I have a reason to look forward to next month, and it's all down to Zoe. Once again, Zoe is running Me Made May. This wonderful challenge encourages you to make a personal pledge, appropriate to you, to get more out of your handmade wardrobe, rediscover those things... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Today sees my latest make for the Minerva Crafts Blogger Network (and the reason that I've been a little quiet on here of late - this one was time consuming!) I've finally made the Carolyn pyjamas by Closet Case Patterns, and whilst they took some doing, I'm so pleased with myself for managing... Continue Reading →
Hi there! It’s been a couple of weeks now since Sally and I announced the next Sew Up North date, and we’ve been so excited to see so many people signing up on Eventbrite (43 people signed up as I type!) If you haven’t signed up yet, do bob along to the website and let... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Hope you're enjoying the spring sunshine which finally seems to have arrived in the UK; my pasty skin is reeling in shock at so much brightness! I don't know about you, but there are times when my sew jo ebbs and flows. I wrote about how my Nancy dress was just what I needed after... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Hope you've been enjoying the glorious sunshine this weekend, it's been absolutely fabulous here, such a relief after what feels like months and months of grey skies. I fit in a very quick make this weekend and for once, that didn't mean anything made out of jersey. Instead, I made the Sew Over... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Hope you've had as much glorious sun wherever you are today as we have; it suddenly seems to be spring! I wanted to share an extremely plain make with you today; unusually for me, I made a wardrobe basic which will probably get loads of wear! A couple of weeks ago, I went... Continue Reading →
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. I think I work on the assumption that pretty much no one reads my words and... Continue Reading →
