Last weekend I sewed up my third @tillybuttons Indigo using some precious Liberty Carline Rose tana lawn that I’ve had tucked safely away in my stash for quite some time. I gathered the sleeves and the waist and French seamed it all for a beautiful finish as well as using deep pink thread to top stitch the hems. Collecting the Christmas tree today seemed like the perfect opportunity to get a photo or two; as I think this dress is Christmassy in the most subtle way. In short, I love it ❤️💚❤️ • • • #sewingindigo #indigo #tatb #tillyandthebuttons #liberty #libertycarline #libertycarlinerose #tanalawn #christmas #christmastree #handmade #memade #ukteacherswhosew #memade #isewmyownclothes #doddington #christmasatdoddington

I interrupt this broadcast with an age-old message: never work with the children or animals 🙅🏻‍♀️ Just kidding - as a primary school teacher/dog mom these are definitely not rules I live by 😂 I decided it could be cute to get the pups in on my Christmas jumper photo - this @wrenandwilson beauty is getting its first ever wear today as it’s Christmas dinner day at school 🦃🍴(or Quorn roast for me!) As you can see, Wilfie posed perfectly whilst Oliver did his own thing, as usual. Swipe to see me encouraging them (in vain) to give each other a festive nose lick to complement my jumper 😂 Best of all, this jumper was purchased as part of the #blackfriday sales with @wrenandwilson planting a tree for each purchase made- how wonderful is that?! 🌳 • • • #christmas #indiechristmas #shopsmall #womeninsmallbusiness #illustrator #dogs #doggos #christmaskiss #christmasdinner #christmasjumper #ukteacherswhosew #ukteachersofinstagram

Woohoo! Today my very first blog post for @loubodufabrics has gone live 🥳 I sewed up this @tillybuttons #sewingindigo a few weeks ago and have basically worn it since 💁🏻‍♀️ To be clear, I love the style, the fit and even though it’s an unusual colour for me, I love the fabric 🧡🐒 Follow the link in my profile to read the full post, written by me in return for the fabric which was kindly gifted. • • • #loubodufabrics #sewingindigo #indigo #tatb #tillyandthebuttons #viscose #viscosetwill #blog #blogpost #blogger #sewingblog

Eek! I can’t tell you how excited I am to be part of the brand new blogger team for the wonderful @loubodufabrics ~ you can meet the full team of lovely ladies over at https://www.loubodufabrics.com/blogs/news/meet-our-blogging-team • • • #blogger #sewingblogger #sewistsofinstagram #ukteacherswhosew #loubododu #loubodufabrics #memade

Yes there’s still 3 weeks left but here’s my #2019topnine ~ quite a nice mix of indie patterns with just a smattering of #big4 I haven’t sewn as much as I’d like this year but I think I have been happier with the things I’ve made. I’m now comfortable sewing knits which I think has opened up a whole new realm for me. There’s *still* loads of areas I would love to develop but I feel like I’m more confident and have been pleased and proud this year to become a blogger for both @minervadotcom and @loubodufabrics 💚❤️ • • • #topnine #bestnine #mymakes #ukteacherswhosew #indiepatterns #tatb #handmade #handmadewardrobe #memade #isewmyownclothes

The #knittingandstitchingshow has become something of a festive tradition for my mum and I - I think this is the 4th year of us attending together and it’s the second of us staying over the night before. After a lovely couple of hours @sluglettuce on Friday evening, we headed back to our @travelodgeuk and settled down for the night. The following morning I set off across a beautifully bright Stray to a cold and crisp @harrogate_parkrun and after breakfast we finally set off for the show. I was amazed to meet @sewoveritlondon @lisacomforthome in the flesh 😍. I came away with 5m of fabric - 2 x 2m viscose and 1m stretch crushed velvet from @thetextilecentre As usual, an utterly lovely and inspiring day that heralds the countdown to Christmas. • • • #knittingandstitching #harrogate #saturday #memade #handmade #inspiration #fabric #shopping #sewsaturday #saturday
