I didn't ask for any sewing gifts this year but my husband got me a voucher for my local fabric and haberdashery shop, plus loosely sewing related but I also got a sewing charm keyring from jazz and wow on my sibling secret Santa! Looking forward to spending my voucher :) 

Hello everyone I'm Mandie from West Sussex. I live with my husband and 2 children (ages 7 and 1). I've been sewing on and off for 12 years but really got into it in the last 3, and now no longer buy clothes new- only make them myself or buy second hand (last years resolution that was successful!)

I'm looking forward to chatting and enjoying this lovely community! Thank you Hayley! 

How cool!! ❤️  I want to make one of these but I just can't stand the thought of having to go to the bathroom and the struggles in and out of jumpsuits.....I think this comes from childhood phobias...lol. Maybe one day I'll overcome this because I think these are so cool and look nice. 😀

This is beautiful 😍 awesome work!

Great to know, thank you, that will help my research. 😀

Thats really thoughtful!! for a sewist thats such a great gift

My son got me a new mini steam iron to save me from battling with the ironing board in my small sewing space 

I gave vouchers for a promise to make pyjamas to my husband and daughter this Christmas so I'll be making jammies in January

I have seen some lovely cotton poplin I'd like to buy but I want a pattern to go with it. Any suggestions? 

perfect!!
