My first attempt at dressmaking!…

July 4, 2013July 4, 2013 Julie GardnerLeave a comment

A couple of weeks ago I attended a dressmaking workshop at the lovely guthrie & ghani in Moseley, Birmingham. I had booked it as a spur-of-the-moment 'thing' when I was inspired by the amazing people on the Great British Sewing Bee programme. I really didn't think about the (nearly) 2 hour journey to get there… Continue reading My first attempt at dressmaking!…

Something new…

Okay, last night, unlike most nights when I go to sleep as soon as my head hits the pillow, I really struggled to switch off. My head was buzzing.

Anyone 4 tea?…

November 23, 2012 Julie GardnerLeave a comment

Birthdays come and go but I wanted this year's to be special and it really was, not because we did anything flash, more because we kept it simple and everything fell into place.

A couple of weeks ago I ran a lampshade workshop @toast_marlow
Another large empire lampshade recovered this week. Using @clarke_clarke_interiors Linoso II in charcoal. A nice contrast against the pink flowers!
Gorgeous gorgeous lampshade in the sunshine 🌞
Hmmmm! Little Rosie is a pickle. Into everything! But I'm managing to make lampshades in between stopping the digging and chewing (she's very vocal, I tell her off and she barks back 🤣)
I'm looking forward to teaching a lampshade workshop @toast_marlow tomorrow evening. Six attendees will be learning to make a small drum lampshade from a selection of lovely @toast fabric remnants. Can't wait! 🌞🌞🌞
I hope you're enjoying this warm spell! Our garden is going crazy, lots of colourful flowers and the veg patch is coming along nicely. I love picking lettuce for lunch every day and am looking forward to peas, raspberries, chard, sweetcorn, tomatoes, cucumbers, French beans and lots more 😋
