Enjoyed the show on Friday but it was exhausting, so tired by the time I left to catch my train home, richer for fabrics but poorer 😀

This is so good to hear Diane I'm so pleased it's boosted your confidence! 

Hi everyone, I just wanted to draw your attention to this challenge which is coming up in April as I'm co-hosting it with Gabrielle from Cloth Edit.

I haven't made it before. Perhaps if you share the steps you're not sure on, we could help?

Great pattern matching! Well done! x

Hi Jasmin, I don't have lots of experience or knowledge with trouser fitting, but wondering if you've tried these resources:

So - did everyone enjoy the Stitch Festival? It was intense & exhausting but also INCREDIBLE!! Loved meeting sewing friends, old and new, as well as browsing the stands and making a few little purchases. Also LOVED doing the catwalk show. Super fun! Bring on the next event! 

Think I'll try and make a simple fabric basket to use up some bits I have lying around.

Oh wow. Think I'll try a simple fabric basket to put mu clips in.

I don't know. I've made a few bit (garments) but never wear them as when I've done previously I've had a few negative comments so think it's confidence.
