‘My Little Felt Busy Book’ Pattern Review

July 14, 2015 By Lauren at Molly and Mama Leave a Comment

It’s no secret that I love working with felt. So much so, that I’ve even written an article with Tips for Working With Wool Felt!  You can see it in the current issue of One Thimble magazine* on page 90. So it should be no surprise that I jumped at the chance to start sewing the […]

We’re all set for Easter!

April 3, 2015 By Lauren at Molly and Mama 3 Comments

Whilst I love to do a lot of sewing and craft for Easter, I also really enjoy decorating. Mostly because my kids LOVE it too! They get such a kick out of decorating for all the different holidays. And it’s so lovely seeing their enthusiasm. Here’s some photos of the decorating we’ve been doing at home. […]

I’m so thrilled to be kicking off the #seworderl I’m so thrilled to be kicking off the #seworderly challenge I’m co-hosting with @arabesquescissors during February. Over the next four weeks Ali and I are planning to reorganise our sewing spaces and sort our supplies. If you’re in need of a tidy out, we’d love you to join in! Because it’s more fun if we encourage each other (and there’s some wonderful prizes up for grabs too)!

To start things off this week, we’re asking you to introduce yourself and the areas in your sewing space you need help with. It could be a photo of your room, or just a little view of some supplies you need to clean, reorganize or sort. Post the photo on your public instagram profile using the hashtag #seworderly. 

Join us each week as we tackle different areas and share different tips! Tag friends here who might like to join in. Read all the details on the blog (there’s a link in my profile).

🪡NEW INSTA CHALLENGE! WHO’S IN?🪡 Like man 🪡NEW INSTA CHALLENGE! WHO’S IN?🪡

Like many of you, the new year has already begun with lots of sewing and fun in my studio. But sometimes the aftermath of all of that creating and making is overwhelming. I'm not convinced my sewing space is working for me, or that I have everything set up so that I can use my space, supplies and materials as easily as possible. I'd love to be more intentional about the way I use my sewing studio. My friend Ali from @arabesquescissors feels exactly the same way! 

For the month of February, Ali and I are going to co-host an instagram challenge that helps us sort out what's working in the studio, what's not, and what we can do about it. We'd be really thrilled if you joined us on the journey! We’ll be using the hashtag #seworderly to help bring you tips and tricks that are organised into weekly themes. We’d love to hear your tips too. Between all of us, we’re sure this amazing community can share some wonderful ideas! 

To celebrate the lead up to our challenge, we’re asking you to post a photo on your public profile using the #seworderly hashtag, and sharing where you’d like some organisational help. Who’ll share a ‘before’ shot of their sewing space 🙋🏼‍♀️? 

We’ll be sharing more in the coming week about how to join in and as a little incentive there’ll even be some prizes up for grabs! Follow @mollyandmama and @arabesquescissors to stay in the loop. I’m really looking forward to getting #seworderly! Are you?

Well my sneak preview has turned into a pouch! I d Well my sneak preview has turned into a pouch! I decided to use @mabletandesigns’ fabric ‘Birds & Blooms’ (with @pbsfabrics) to sew a new ipad cover using my Summer Rose Pouch pattern. But once I was finished, I realised it was perfect for a portable sewing kit too. I’m starting on a new colourway of the Nan’s Garden Stitchery in the hoop here. @creative_abundance wholesale the preprinted linens and creative cards for this project. But I will also have the PDF pattern ready to go in the next week!

🐰🌸 Who’s thinking about Easter sewing alre 🐰🌸 Who’s thinking about Easter sewing already? I designed this little Easter Dilly Bag pattern as a cute little egg holder for chocolate egg hunts (see those front pockets?). But I’m realising that it will also be perfect for storing my #bittybunnies and the #rosierabbitornament collection, after Easter too! I also created a Christmas version to hold my felt gingerbread ornaments (scroll down my feed to see). 

You can find this pattern in my shop and stores can order wholesale from @creative_abundance 🐰🌸
