And it has been made more special by the traditions and magic that we’ve shared for generations. My grandmother Molly would be proud if she were able to […]
Christmas Lolly Ornaments – A Free Pattern from My Felt Lady
The lovely Candice from My Felt Lady recently created a free felt ornament pattern that includes three different designs; a candy cane, a felt lollipop and wrapped candies. Made in red and white felt, they’re traditional and super festive! As soon as I saw her design, I knew I wanted to sew some of the […]
Sew A Gingerbread Ornament and Pretty Christmas Dilly Bag
Last week I added a new sewing pattern to my range; the Easter Dilly Bag. It was designed earlier in the year for the Tilda Club and it’s just been made available for release. It’s such a pretty and sweet project and I love it dearly. But it’s hardly suitable for the festive season! So […]

But it does feel odd singing about the snow, thinking about hot chocolates by the fire […]

Christmas Joy Cushion for Thermoweb
Being a Fabric Education Designer for the Thermoweb brand means that I’m regularly sharing tutorials for sewing projects I’ve designed. The brief for this month was Christmas Cushion. Sometimes having a brief helps to narrow down what you want to do. But sometimes it’s still difficult to decide! I’m a self-confessed Christmas-aholic and I love […]
