If you agree with any (or all) of these statements, then it will be most worth you reading on…
- You can never have enough fabric.
- A haberdashery is your happy place.
- You love/would love to be able to make your own clothes.
- Sewing gifts for loved ones is one of your greatest pleasures.
- A house isn’t a home until you fill it with beautiful, handmade things.
- You have an unfathomable need to collect buttons in jars (or tins, preferably really pretty ones).
- Sewing is one of the simple pleasures in life (along with tea and cake).
If you love to sew, then this site was made for you, and I wish you the warmest welcome. Because, my friend, sewing is an absolute passion of mine, and it brings me the greatest pleasure to connect with other like-mined enthusiasts.
Launched in 2017 as a means of sharing over 30 years experience of sewing, this site is intended as a little haven of happiness for those who love to sew. My mind is generally a-buzz with ideas for projects to make for my lovely little daughter, my Derbyshire home, or my friends and family, and I love being able to share them all through this site. So whether you are a beginner, an improver, or have tonnes of sewing experience, you’ll hopefully find a little bit of inspiration for your next sewing project.
When I’m browsing crafty sites on the internet, I know I value good sewing advice, top tips for making my sewing life easier, reviews of great sewing-related stuff, and lots and lots of inspiration. And this is exactly what I set out to achieve in my blog…I hope you find it does exactly that.
I’ve been sewing since I was a child, and used to delight in the fabric scraps and buttons in my mum’s sewing box. That delight has never left me (if you’re still reading, I know you can relate!) Nothing brings me more pleasure than when I’m creating something new, and all these years later whether it be dress-making or hand embroidery, making homeware or toys for my lovely little girl, my love of sewing continues to grow. So this blog gives me a much-needed outlet for the many ideas that bubble to the surface of my mind each day (honestly, I have a note book to hand at all times for just this reason).
I also launched my Creative Sewing Challenge through this blog as a means of keeping myself inspired, and I invite others to take part too. By signing up below, you’ll receive a creative prompt each month to inspire your sewing, along with some free tutorials and patterns along the way.
Feel free to share my pin on Pinterest if you think any of your followers might be interested…
Thanks, and happy sewing everyone! Amy x
