Fabric shopping

Busy curtain making which gives me a good excuse to keep nipping into my favourite fabric shop- Bargain Fabrics in Castle Donnington! 

Picked up some gorgeous Sanderson fabrics- lime greens and brights for £7.50 a meter- bargain! You've got to be open minded when you go as they have roll ends, but I always come away happy!

Up and coming in 2015

A list of some courses I'll be running over the next few months:
Although my new house is currently a demolition site!.. I am running some day upholstery/sort furnishing courses in some workshop rooms from the house in Turnditch (Derbyshire) in Feb and March.
This will be an opportunity to bring along a project and get guidance.
It'll be a full day for £75, including lunch, and tea and cake. Your materials will be extra. 
I already have a fully booked day but am planning on running another if there is interest. Get in touch if you fancy giving yourself a nice creative day! People are bringing all sorts from blinds, headboards and foot stalls. 
Progress?!?! 

This Thursday (15th) I'm running a lamp making workshop at Buttons and Bows in Belper. 

The SEW-cial is due to start next wed night:
People are bringing along lots of projects, including blinds, appliqué and garments to alter. There's only one space left to fill so get in touch for more info.  

Building crazy!

So much building work going on on our house renovation that my little one is obsessed with tools and building- a morning spent building card board houses and cardboard tiles to satisfy his construction needs!
