New in the Shop...

For those that dont follow us over on Facebook, I must inform you that I am not the most patient of ladys!  Especially when I am waiting for a delivery of beautiful fabric!!  Its not easy for an impatient person like me, ordering so far in advance then having to wait (and wait, and wait).

So I was very excited when I had the call to say this lovely little lot had arrived....

Riley Blake Polka Dot Stitches.....finally! 

If its possible to have a favourite, this one is it....



This was my least favourite when I ordered, but its stunning in real life!  The yellow is a lot more vibrant and the flowers are so pretty!  

These would make a beautiful quilt for an older girls room as its so pretty but a bit more grown up!

Cant wait to show you what arrives next!

Help Me Decide!

Im very lucky that my little fabric shop is growing at a rate I never thought it would so soon.  This has meant I've been able to get so many lovely new products on the site including new fabrics, new buttons and not to mention the new ribbons!

It was always my intention to stock sewing patterns.  Im not much of a pattern follower myself but I do love having a pattern to start with (I often trail off and do my own thing towards the end!)and inspire my makes.  I've started making clothes for my little ones and need a pattern to know where to start!

One of the patterns we could be stocking soon!
I've found a fantastic company that stocks the most amazing range of patterns and my question is this...


What type of pattern would you like to buy?


I also asked this recently over on the Facebook page and there has been a clear winner!  The original choices are...

Accessories i.e. bags and bunting
Childrens clothing
Adult clothing
Quilt and soft furnishing patterns
Soft toy patterns

A few more were added but I think these are the main ones.  Feel  free to suggest any others!  I would love to hear your thoughts and your help is very much appreciated!


Super cute twirly skirt pattern
Just comment below with your choice and who knows, you could see some gorgeous patterns of your choice within the next month!

Who Doesnt Love A Sale?

Ok, so I know the sales start traditionally in January, but I thought I'd start mine now.  Except with this sale, there will be none of the queueing for hours waiting for it to open then pushing and shoving and elbows in the ribs you get with some other sales!


One of the reasons I thought I'd start the sale now is because I've included all the Halloween items!  Theres still time to grab a bargain for this year, or if you're having a belated party this weekend, why not whip up some bunting ready for it?

Halloween Bundle - now on sale for £7.20

Halloween ribbon - now on sale for 50p per metre

Riley Blake Costume Clubhouse - now £2.40 per FQ!!
There are some other fabrics in the sale section too.  So if you've had your eye on something for a while, why not pop over and see if its in our Sale Section?

My Five Minutes of Fame

Firstly, let me apologise for the lack of posts recently.  As a busy mum of two and with the shop getting busier and busier (Im pleased to say!) the blog seems to have suffered a bit.  I promise to try harder and blog on a more regular basis!

There will be lots more tutorials coming up and new Design Team packs will be going out very soon, plus new and beautiful fabrics to hopefully inspire your creativity!!

We've just come back from a lovely holiday in Weymouth but before we went, two pictures of me and my girlies were in the local paper.  A journalist who was writing an article about mums in business contacted me about working around your children (it's not easy but I'm so fortunate to LOVE what I do!)
Here is one of the pictures they used.  The faces behind "The Sewing Boutique"!
Keep an eye out for a new money off code this week!!
