Stocking Up

I’m technically not here today, I’m out fabric shopping with a friend in Tokyo! I’m sure I’m having a marvellous time… I’m shopping for some more shop stock and this month’s Japanese Bundle Club too, so you’d better be quick if you want one! Talking of fabric shopping, do you remember I put a call […]

Craftsy Class Review: Sewing Machine 911

It’s no secret how much I love Craftsy. I haven’t had much chance to watch lessons lately as it’s summer holidays and two little kids are playing very well together, but very noisily! And any enforced nap times I can get, are spent doing whatever it is I want to do quietly. But I thought […]

What Makes Fantastic Shop Packaging?

A part of owning an online store is working out how to do your packaging. You want to keep it cost-effective and practical, but also a little unique to leave a mark on the customer. As a customer and a shop owner, I’ve learnt some lessons along the way. Here’s what to look for in […]

Stale Stash UFO And Fabric

It’s time to offload some UFOs and fugly and not-so-fugly fabric! First up – these two UFOs I just lost the will to complete. I’d rather someone else use them if they want to/can! The HST star block was made January 2012 as a part of the HST BOM at In Color Order, except […]

I am happy to report that I have successfully finished another pouch, and finished stuffing it full of sweet treats yesterday after a quick trip to the craft store for some sweet […]

Daily Craft TV Review: Curved Piecing Class + Giveaway

Fons & Porter have a new education site Daily Craft TV full of crafty video lessons – quilting, sewing, knitting, crochet, scrapbooking and paper craft. Classes are either $4.99 or $9.99, which means the classes are a lot lower in price than similar sites such as Craftsy. Each class primarily covers one skill, technique or […]

WIP Wednesday: The Japanese Baby Edition

I have started cutting piles of 2.5″ squares for the Totoro baby quilt, and couldn’t resist starting to sew some tree together. I’m really happy with the mix of prints! The perfect mix of browns, if I do say so myself. Only about another million squares, HSTs and half-rectangle triangles to go… The second Japanese […]

The best place to see them all is on Instagram with the tag #sweetpouchswap. Cat from Cat & Vee made this stunner and […]

Mood Board Monday: Not Your Granny Florals

My beautiful friend Lisa at Life As We Know It is hosting a weekly linky party sharing mood boards based on the weekly theme. This week is the first, and being florals, I thought I’d join in and share a fabric mosaic of some favourite florals! The trick to mixing and matching florals is to […]
