It's the great British sewing bee time again and I am feeling inspired. Never done dress making before so thought I would give it a go. I love Merchant & Mills website it's a modern day "old fashioned" draper with lots of style and brown paper!
So I am trying their lovely Dress Shirt with Japanese cotton and a little bit of linen thread, so wish me luck!

New studio
It's been a while! Sometimes life just takes over and you take a break.....
I am now settled into my studio at Sunny Bank Mills, and at the moment just playing and enjoying settling in. People keep asking me what I am doing - the truth is I am finding out for myself catching up with a few unfinished items (am sure everyone can relate to that!). Personal Development is required and to remind myself that I learnt a lot in my degree and need to experiment, play and always always learn more and enjoy that process.
We recently had some taster workshops at Sunny Bank and I started a 'community cloth' project to encourage people to come and stitch memories of the mill and the village. Some people drew then stitched their homes - it's an ongoing project and over the next few months on the last Friday of the month I will be in the gallery cafe on a Friday afternoon hoping people will come along, learn some stitches and have fun chatting and creating.
So for now ........
