Hello and Welcome! 
I'm so glad you took time out of your summertime activities to check in with us! We've been very busy with some unfortunate family affairs for the past few weeks and I'm afraid it's taken a toll on my concentration & consequently my forward motion on our development of our next new pattern, but I have made some progress which you'll see in various parts of this newsletter. So with that, I'll get back to work and let you get to reading! Laughing

Quilted Jacket - A Technical Challenge
If you follow her on Instagram, you might have seen that after watching the Great British Sewing Bee she set herself the challenge of sewing the same quilted jacket that the contestants were tasked to make in Series 8, episode 4. The main reason for this challenge was that she found it hard to believe that this garment could be made in just 4 hours and 15 minutes and wanted to see if her suspicions were justified!   {Click HERE to read more}
