Bags, purses and a special guest
Our big news this week is that we have finalised our plans for the workshop with Australian designer Gail Pan on August 8th. We are thrilled to welcome her to Cornwall and all of us are volunteering to work for the day! There is some information below but the full details can be found here. If you are thinking about going then book quickly as over half our tickets have already sold.
|
Many of us are planning trips away on holiday, visiting family and friends, or even having a staycation stitching in the garden. One thing all of us have in common is the need for a decent bag for our projects or personal belongings. This newsletter we take a look at some of our bags to take or make while away plus all the handy essentials you might need to have at hand.
|
We also have had a delivery of new cream on cream fabrics from Liberty. As always, beautiful quality Lasenby quilting cotton in 5 different tone on tone prints.
|
As always, enjoy your sewing and have a wonderful week.
Best wishes
Sally & the girls

We have a rich and varied selection of bag patterns available for you to make. Perfect to make before going away to carry essentials for your sewing projects or the beach, or to take and stitch while enjoying a break away. Some are machine stitched but others are embellished with applique, embroidery or English Paper Piecing so are ideal for making when out and about. Beach bags, handbags, sewing bags, purses and pouches.
