Today I headed into town to #shoplocal and was sew excited to discover @westafwrksop Inspired by sew many beautiful makes on @sewvee ‘s grid I bought my first ever piece of waxed cotton: 1.5m. It’s prewashed so now I just need to decide what to do with it. I’m thinking a top, but which? 🤷🏻‍♀️ 👉🏻Swipe to see the piece of viscose I also bought from the local knitting and sewing shop. I’m already planning on using that for my first @sewliberated pattern ✂️ I think the colours are gorgeous for spring. • • • #imakemyownclothes #ukteacherswhosew #africanwaxprint #smallbusiness #Saturday #sewing #dressmaking #spring #sewingforspring #cotton #viscose

Now up on the blog ~ my entry for this week’s @sewisfaction #gbsbsewalong #sustainability challenge. Another @tessutifabrics #mandyboattee in vintage fabric 🌿🍂🍃 I shopped my stash and used some fabric that was gifted to me. Swipe ➡️ to see who made their way into the playground today {and then may have spent a little while in my office before being returned to her owner 🐶} Thank you to Sheona for organising, plus to @tillybuttons @newcrafthouse @closetcase.patterns for sponsoring 🤗 • • • #vintage #sewstainability #memade #Imakemyclothes #ukteacherswhosew #dressmaking #sewingbee

Four pieces of fabric prewashed and drying in the sunshine this morning 🌞 I’m definitely hoping to do some Sunday sewing today but I haven’t yet decided what to make. Three of the pieces on the line are vintage and were gifted to me so possibly could count towards the @sewisfaction #gbsbsewalong #sustainability week. I’m thinking a @truebias #ogdencami could be good and possible with one of the smaller pieces ✂️ • • • #Sunday #sundaysewing #dressmaking #sewingforspring #imakemyownclothes #memade #vintage #preloved #gifted #seventies #eighties #freshair #breathe

Today I ran my first half marathon of 2019: Retford Half. I haven’t run much lately and definitely hadn’t trained for this race so my aim was to try to get round, and hope to not be too far from 2 hours. I ran alone and because of the rain and wind didn’t look at my watch once, but somehow managed to finish in 1.54.02, which I’m thrilled with 🙌🏻 • • • #retfordhalfmarathon #retfordhalf #halfmarathon #roadrace #roadrunning #spring #race #raceday #Sundayrunday
