Sewing Machines!!
I am one of those sewers who always likes to look at old Singer sewing machines in antique centres, and am always surprised at how much they want for them, AND critically always say I haven’t got room for one! My husband doesn’t listen! He saw one listed on Facebook’s MarketPlace and made an offer …

Tunic
I bought this lovely fabric at the knitting and stitching show in Harrogate in 2018. I eventually decided to try and use it to copy a tunic top that I had worn a lot and was looking worse for wear!! This is what it looked like back in 2013!! What I didn’t take into consideration …

New Look 6573 – Cape and Dress
Paul saw this cape in a window display in the wool shop in Cleckheaton. It was a Sunday, so shut at the time, but he liked it so much he rang up on Monday and bought the pattern. It has taken me a while to get around to, but I have finally made it!! To …

Chilli Shirts and Masks
The chilli fabric was a great find on a day out for my birthday in Shrewsbury. I also bought more wool for a chunky cardigan (still in progress at the time of writing), a mini ironing board for sleeves, a french curve, and some great circuit board fabric from Watson & Thornton, another lovely fabric …
