Joining a class.

Hello, Happy New Year! I don't know about you but December and Christmas flew by in a whirlwind of present sewing and food.  Yes, and the odd glass of wine too.  I have to admit I relaxed more over the few days after new year than during all of the celebrations.  Finally a few moments …

Party Fabric shopping

As we come around to Norwich Sewcials Fabric shop lock-in at our local emporium I start to think about my needs and wants.  What do I NEED?  I look though the patterns and start to plan my makes.  I search through my stash to make sure I don't already have it and try to pare …

Fabric addicts unite!!!

It was dark, cool and we could see a glimmer of light on the street.  Our destination was in sight.  The lights were on at Anglian Fashion Fabrics and once given 'The Knock' we were let in. Sounds quite dramatic doesn't it but Tim and the team at the shop agreed for Norwich Sewcials to have …

A rather Epic weekend

Does anybody else get inspired in the bath? I lay there, in a slightly too warm, bath contemplating my rather epic weekend. I'd been surrounded by THE most supportive, friendly and interesting group of people for the weekend.  A sewing community, gathering together to .spend a couple of days sewing, swapping tips and stories and most …

Norwich Sewcials

  We watched from a distance as sewcial groups grew, happenings in Brighton, Birmingham, Bristol...  Nothing in Norfolk!  Why didn't we have anything like that here? Emma @Crafty Clyde and I mulled it over.  Are we the only ones that want something like this?  We can't be.  Well we could try, see what happens... Sooo, we created …
