Carol only learned to sew this year and is having a lot of fun coming back to a hobby she help her mum with 40+ years ago. This faux shearling teddy bear fleece is light as a feather and great for this simple burda jacket.
Miaow and Arfur out in Granma’s garden modelling the fleecey jersey dressing gown made by Jane (granny).
The pattern is a discontinued Vogue pattern made up age 6 with no alterations (all hail the joys of “trĂ©s ample” fit!)
Vanessa came to the shop with this Fraser sweatshirt (from Sewaholic), made with a reversible cotton sweatshirting so the stripe contrast shows on cuffs and neck binding. It is super warm and comfy (not to mention stylish).
Rachel surrounded by toiles and all things dressmaking at the sewing retreat weekend in Bromsgrove, wearing her bird digital print stretch cotton drill skirt and purple fleece with roll neck.
Awwww! Jasmine’s nephew wearing the romper she made him using lion print polar fleece. Soooo cute!!!
Jenny made her grandson Owen this fab tractor print fleece jacket using the Burda pattern 9425. Being as Owen thinks Tractors are the best thing since sliced bread we think this has made her No1 Granny.
Rachel wearing her super soft faux fur coat. It is a travesty of modern technology that you cannot feel the softness but trust me, it’s soft.
Made in a jiffy and lined in elephant print stetch poly satin, this coat is equally happy walking the mental worm dog as it is keeping the chills off your posh frock at a flash soireé.
Lizzy wearing her tiger stripe boiled wool belted wool cape. Lizzy made it without a pattern (nor much of a clue about what  she was doing)
Brilliant, huh?
Lined in a poly fleece and belted in with a custom made belt, this is a super cosy coat that grabs the attention of  passers by.
