I'm getting all the Black Friday sales spam which has reminded me to warn you all about impulse purchasing a sewing machine.
Do your research!
What machine you get depends on what sort of sewing you'll do and you budget.

I've found something more annoying than a cat sitting on your fabric while you try to cut it. A very stubborn dog! 😆

The other Christmas news is December in the studio will be all about Christmas makes. From Stockings to beauty gift sets via sacks for those who hate wrapping presents.

My ill gotten gains from the show yesterday.
It's easy to be put off by the price of getting into a show but the postage for this little lot would have been significantly more than the ticket.

Demo done!
Genuinely - if anyone had told me 10 years ago that I would be presenting at the Knitting and Stitching show I would have thought you were kidding. 😁

Getting ready for the #knitandstitchbelfast show in a couple of days and debuting some gorgeous hand-dyed #silk #embroiderythread. I know some of you have been waiting so long for this! The wait is finally over!
24m each, these threads will go a long way! 🧶

It's #KnittingAndStitching day! I have a car full of jeans and a head full of ideas ready to demo my now on trend jeans skirt. 😁
I'll do some posts through the day to give you all an idea of what to expect from the show. 🤩

There's nothing like leaving things to the last minute!
I'm busy prepping for the Knitting and Stitching Show. I'll be doing a demo of my jeans into skirt make with box pleats on Thursday.
If you're similarly last minute and don't have tickets yet LASTMINUTE will get you £4 off. 😊🪡🧵🧶

Just discovered the #SewAndTell feed!
Last week's prompt was scraps, which, you can imagine I end up with a lot of in the studio! Here's just some of the scrap projects I've done in the last year.

Reminiscing about my sewing space when I started sewing.
I kinda miss those days. I don't miss having to cut on the floor though! 😆

One of the problems a sewing teacher has is how do you help people at their machine without causing irreparable damage to your back.
I decided to get myself a small light stool that I can move about with in the studio.
It was boring though. Good job I am a sewing teacher - it now sparks joy!

With some people confessing to the number and length of UFOs maybe we should do one of those super fun and not all disheartening monthly challenges.
We could call it Finish it February.
Yes, I'm even procrastinating a challenge to finish things. I'm just that good at procrastination. 😆

Being a strong teacher isn't all glamour!
All materials are provided and I like to give people the choice so they'll actually use what they make.
This means a lot of pre cutting. Today is fabric for cushions.
Is it boring? Yes. 😆

You know how they say perfection is the enemy of done?
I've just found a dress I started 10 years ago but thought I had mucked up so put it in a "I'll get to that later" pile.
It's absolutely grand. Apart from being too small and the sleeves are nowhere to be found! 🤦🏻♀️

I spent ages today doing a time lapse of the embroidery machine in action. Did I hit record? Of course I didn't.
So have a picture of the finished product instead!
