This week I have been ...























This week I have been... packing up lots of this, and unpacking a bit of this...























Inspired by lots of spring dressmaking orders ...























Enduring my work experience helper not really grasping the fundamentals of shop keeping...

 Adding just a sneaky selection of some of the fabrics coming soon to M is for make...























Enduring Enjoying some sewing with the kids after they were inspired by doing freestyle embroidery on my mum's machine during half term (need to get one of these feet)...

 
Admiring magazines, firstly this gorgeous clutch purse made by the talented Emma in Making Magazine using Simpatico from M is for make ....

And planning my next project on the cover of this magazine ...

    Loving that first fabric... & the pattern... & the work-experience assistant ;) My old cat used to sit on sewing patterns/fabric whilst we tried to cut them out. I'd forgotten about that! It's great that the kids are keen. I had to sit on my hands last night whilst my 4yr old sewed her first button onto the "purse" they'd made at school. She did all but the knots though... proud mummy moment ;)
