Hi everyone. I was uploading this weeks video and remembered a couple of comments from people who prefer to watch in silence. As there are no instructions on the screen, they had to have sound up. My solution, at least for some of the simpler videos, will be to add a text walkthrough on the…
Hey! This week I drafted 4 different versions of this stocking trying to get it just right – the first came out absolutely gigantic! Would have taken a bank loan to fill it with gifts. I’m adding a large version and a fat quarter friendly version so you can decide which is best for you….
We’ve added another video this week – this fabulous twisted fabric wreath! I LOVE LOVE LOVE crafting and creating for Christmas. It’s my favourite time of year. Yes, I’m aware it’s only August, but… crafting/sewing takes time, so we start early! I made this same wreath about 5/6 years ago and it’s still on the…
For our Youtube video this week we’re making slip-on (reversible) dog bandanas. I timed this one to see how long it would take as it strikes me as one that can be made in abundence for a market or fair. You’ll have to watch to see if I hit the ten minute target. For this…
This time we’re making burp cloths. The simple construction means these take next to no time to whip up, so if you’ve forgotten to get something for a baby shower, because they’re now a thing in the UK apparently, or you just want to gift something to a new mum but don’t have much time,…
And so the baby tutorial videos continue. This time we’re making a very simple classic style bib. The bandana one was so cute, and this is more or less made in the same way. So grab a drink and sit back and give it a watch. Here’s the pattern. You’ll need to tape the two…
Following on from the Bitty Baby Booties – and using the same fabric range, check out the latest youtube video – where you can sew along and make your own bandanna style baby bib! There will be another video in the next week or so for a Classic style bib, and, all being well… a…
We have a new addition to our extended family due in November, a little girl! So exciting! Congratulations to Liam and Liz! I tend to make quilts whenever a new baby is born, and I do plan to do this too, but wanted to make some other little bits and pieces. These booties being the…

Another Quilt Block this week. This time a lovely intertwined design. You’ll need three different fabrics for this one, the first in the series where we need more than two so I went for a simple cream from the same range. No cat intermissions! Sooty is fast asleep, and Heidi is watching from the sidelines!…
