🎈Birthday time! 🎈
I love having a Birthday in the month of May. It is the best time of year. 🌿🌼🌱

Here I’m wearing my favourite hand made top using two different checked tablecloths. The pattern is a self drafted style - but I used the #louboxtop as my starting point by @sewdiypatterns
A make that I use multiple times a day is coming to the end of its life. 😟
I’m planning a leather version next and hopefully that will last another 10 years if not more.

Who says I can’t wear a skirt in the workshop?
I usually wear my workshop trousers all year round but there are days when it’s too lovely outside and I go rogue and wear a skirt.
This skirt is @peppermintmagazine wrap skirt. Such a great pattern.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate repeat customers? 🥹🙌
When someone comes back to buy from me again, it genuinely makes my day. It means the products are being used and loved — and to me, that’s the ultimate seal of approval. ✨
Everything is handmade, not mass produced. I love making them, and knowing that so many of you love them too — well, it doesn’t get better than that. 🥰
To every returning customer — thank you. You’re the best. 🧡

Love reading a review. 😍
I read each and every review and they all mean so much to me.
There are days where I wonder why I’m doing what I’m doing. But then something like this lands in my inbox and I feel better about my life choices.
Keep sewing lovey folk!

🪡 It’s not big, it’s not flashy but so simple! And I know it works.
🪡 I use all the products I sell all the time and I know how helpful this felt sewing machine needle storage is.
Tried and tested!

I’m back! 🌞
After a lovely break I am back to shipping orders as normal. 📮
It’s been great being away and I am refreshed to start back in the workshop. 💪🔨
I not only had a break from making and shipping out orders, I also blocked instagram from my phone completely which was a good decision.
💔I fall in and out of love with the app but feel I need to be present on here for my business. However - I’ve enjoyed not feeling the pressure and every now and again checking insta messages etc on my laptop. Leaving my phone hidden away.
Anyone else enjoy doing this sometimes? 🌱
I’ve also dug out the spring hand-made wardrobe and have enjoyed wearing some old favourites like this gingham self drafted top I sewed up 2 years ago.
