*Warning Picture heavy post* I have subscribed to Seamwork since about issue 3 but tbh I haven’t actually made that much from it, but everything I do make seems to be made in multiples. The Geneva pants have been made countless times, I ended up having to make an Oslo for both Nikki and my Mum after they saw mine,… Read more »
So you have already seen the wonderful presents that I received from my Stitching Santa buddies and Becki from Dartmoor Yarns showed you what I sent her, but my other present hasn’t been blogged about and just on the off chance you have all been there waiting on tenterhooks so see what goodies I sent out I thought I would… Read more »
In addition to the Sewing Stitching Santa I also entered the Knitting one, and I’m glad I did because making things for Becki at Dartmoor Yarns was such fun, I loved looking through her blog and finding a new blog to follow 🙂 I had a great time opening the present that I received for my knitting parcel, the outside… Read more »

I just need to work out what to actually make for them now, thankfully both people I got have blogs but post sporadically so… Read more »
Recently I have been having visits from family members and as I am living in quite rustic conditions I keep asking them to bring me things. Last time my mother came I asked her if she had any wool blankets going spare (she did) and any buttons (also yes). I received a stack of old blankets and Rosemary’s (grandmother) button… Read more »
