Sunday Sevens 2021 – Bumper Edition!

Do I mention I’ve missed a few ? No….. life just goes at such a crazy speed sometimes, there’s no need to make up excuses. I’m not promising this will be a weekly post, but I’m hoping it will be more than quarterly. I’ve had a scroll down my photos and picked out a few since the start of the year. A few? Well about 50. So I won’t waffle on with lots of writing otherwise we’ll both be here all day! Not sure what Sunday Sevens is about? It was a fab idea thought up a long time ago by the lovely Natalie of Threads & Bobbins – a fellow Yorkshire lass who lives in America. There’s no rules but the idea is to share 7 isn photos from your week. Read more about it on Natalie’s blog post – it actually took some finding – Sunday Sevens started way back in 2014!! Read her first post HERE. Hope you have a great week. Some restrictions are easing here in the England, and tomorrow …

Being Sewcial Through Lockdown

I’m not sure why I never thought of it sooner… To arrange online sewcials. I got the idea a few weeks ago and so far I’ve arranged 10 what I’ve called “Sew and Tells” and one workshop teaching how to slash and spread a basic sleeve block to create 4 different looks. I posted the dates on my new Insta account The Fabric First Aider and a link to Eventbrite where people could register to join the sessions. Now I’ve set up a page here on my blog with details of what it’s all about. There’s a link with dates of upcoming sewcials so if anyone wants to join in but aren’t on insta they can book through there. So, if you fancy having a natter all about sewing, or learning how to ‘slash and spread’ have a read of my FABRIC FIRST AIDER page. Oh, and did I mention they are free! Cheerio for now, hopefully see you soon Ali x Stay safe & keep smiling
