24.01.2022 For Shane and Paul! These two shades were both renovations of existing shades. We stripped them down, cleaned up the rings and remade them using new fabrics. The top shade featuring the bird is actually oval and the bottom shade features a gold fabric cuff top and bottom. These shades sit on lamps that are at opposite ends of a large living/dining space and work well together and with the existing artwork in Shane and Paul’s home. - - #handmade #madebyhand... #ministryofhandmade #lampshades #customlampshades #newagain #lampshaderenovation #lampshadeworkshop #makealampshade #creativeworkshops See more
24.01.2022 These crazy girls were the high point of my week! A great group of friends, they produced the brightest and boldest set of shades that has ever come out of one lampshade workshop at Ministry of Handmade. All these fabrics are from our stock, but you can bring your own if you wish. We all had a ball!! Why not book your own private lampshade session? - - #handmade #ministryofhandmade... #madebyhand #lampshadeworkshop #customlampshades #bespokelampshades #makeyourownlampshade #lighting #interiorstyling #letyourlightshine #textiles @warwickfabrics @socialfabricau @kirstenkatzart See more
23.01.2022 A custom king size bed head! I finished this last night ready for collection today. Its to be in a styled photo shoot tomorrow for a home sale. I love using these stud strips... maximum impact for not as much effort as it looks! This fabric has the best texture... its so tactile. We have quite a few different styles of bed heads we can custom make. And, if you fancy playing with the air stapler, we can organise a private lesson and you can make your own!!! - - #handmade #mi...nistryofhandmade #madebyhand #bedhead #diyfurniture #upholstery #upholsteryworkshop #creativeworkshops #staplegun #interiorstyling #bedroomdecor #bedroomstyling #custombedhead See more
23.01.2022 ZOOM Tutorial for Fluted Lampshades! We’ve just put this online class on the website. The class will cover how to make these shades and what materials are needed. We’ll also be selling kits which will be available shortly. Oh, and custom making too. After a fair bit of prototyping, we’ve settled on two sizes: 13/25 and 18/35. These are the top and bottom diameters of the rings. The overall sizes are a bit bigger. You’ll find all the details on the website.

23.01.2022 Keen to build your sewing skills? Learn how to make a baby bandana bib (or a fur baby bandana!) Join us this Saturday 19 September and build your confidence. When you are learning to sew, the more time you can spend on the machine working on a variety of different projects, the faster you will progress. This workshop offers a range of skills including working with snap fasteners. Why not start working on your Christmas gift list for family or friends with a bub or puppy. Or, ...sew some bibs for pregnant peeps who are due over the next few months.... thanks COVID ! This class is being taught by our daughter, Lauren, who is in fact pregnant herself and she developed this project 5 years ago when her first born Aubrey was a bub. All the details are on our website... there is a link in our profile. - - #handmade #madebyhand #ministryofhandmade #sewing #learntosew #sewinglesson #sewingworkshop #baby #bandana #bib #bandanabib #creativeworkshops #puppy #puppybandana See more

Learn how this Sunday morning, in a creative and inspiring environment in the company of other like-minded people. You’ll be greeted by the smell of fresh baked cookies as you walk in the door.

22.01.2022 So, the filming is finished .... as they say, it’s a wrap! We have been west of Cairns in Quinkan Country filming a promotion for Tourism Events Queensland. Our destination was Jarramali, the site of rock art that is highly regarded internationally. In fact this site is recognised in the top ten rock art sites in the world! Our host and tour guide was Johnny @jarramali_rock_art_tours whose people have been contacted to this land for generations. It was a privilege to hear Joh...nny share his knowledge about the art which dates back thousands of years and to witness his passion for his ancestral home. We’ve certainly never done anything like this before and in a short space of time we’ve had so many new experiences and learnt so much. Watching the camera and sound crew at work was amazing! All that equipment!!! Plus the drone!! And the still photographer and the production team! Special thanks to Hailey @haileybe for being our connection to this fabulous project and for directing the shoot!!! We have no idea when the finished product will be ready.... hanging out to see it!!! - - #handmade #ministryofhandmade #madebyhand #video #cairns #queensland #jarramali #jarramalirockart #jarramalirockarttours #indigenousart #rockart #queenslandtourism #tourism #outback
21.01.2022 Smiles all round! We’ve had a lovely afternoon helping Trish and Julia make their own bench seats. We supply the frames for this workshop (steel reinforced plywood base, foam and wadding) and the participants bring their own fabric or purchase fabric here. Trish’s fabric was an Indian wood block printed linen and Julia purchased her fabric here. We have a choice of legs but both opted for Victorian Ash hardwood legs. This is one of our regular workshops and we will run it aga...in before Christmas. New workshop listings are advised via our newsletter. You can sign up on the bottom of the home page of our website.

21.01.2022 @mr.ministryofhandmade is a man of many talents!! Among his many skills is the ability to create templates for tapered lampshades of all shapes and sizes. And this is truly how it is done... on the floor with a large piece of paper, a very long stick, a big nail and a pencil. I think people think I am joking when I tell them how it is done, but here is the evidence. And Aubrey is quite transfixed by it all... got to love a great little apprentice!! - - #handmade #madebyhand... #ministryofhandmade #lampshade #lampshadetemplate #empirelampshade #makeyourownlampshades #customlampshades #workitout #formula See more
21.01.2022 Its not quite the great wall of China! So here is the progress on @mr.ministryofhandmade gabion wall. Maurice purchased enough supplies to make six panels and now they are done ! This has taken since January. In this location, it wasnt just a matter of wiring the frames together and filling them with sandstone. An existing rotting sleeper wall had to be pulled down and the posts removed. Next there was more of the bank to be dug out by hand and the waste soil and Brisbane ...Schist (hard and stubborn rock) to be removed to another spot. There are heaps more gabions to go yet, but at this point it is time to stop and admire the completion of stage 1. We are going to plant out the strip of soil behind the wall with some hardy flowering low shrubs, probably Grevillias. Building this has been a labour intensive process, but its a great mindfulness activity in a year full of trying times and unpleasant truths!!! - - #landscaping #gabion #gabionwall #sandstone #madebyhand #handmade #ministryofhandmade See more

18.01.2022 Another lustre* of lampshades! (Lustre is a self designated collective name for a group of lampshades, suggested a few years ago by @raptupholstery ) These girls had a great day last week and produced a stunning variety of shades.

17.01.2022 Sneak Peek ! This is new project being prototyped right now. It’s a hybrid between our Hero Lamp and our (currently out of stock) retro-inspired Rocket Lamp! This prototype is made from MDF but the finished base will be made from Birch ply. The design is a collaboration between @mr.ministryofhandmade and @playdrivecnc and is proudly made in Brisbane! We’ll be launching this soon. We used two very different fabrics to show you how versatile our design is. You’ll be able to m...ake our new lamp in a workshop or buy it as a kit. The stunning scene of the Brisbane Queenslanders is by @redhildahood and this will be only available as a finished lamp. Stay tuned for the release! If you’d like to be the first to know about availability, why not sign up to our newsletter on the bottom of the home page on our website.

17.01.2022 Look at these beauties! One made in the workshop last Saturday and the other made by Katherine at home using one of our professional quality lampshade kits!! This fabric is @marimekkoaustralia and is wonderful to work with... just perfect for lampshades!!! The other girls produced great work too. It was such a fun session with Maurice in the workshop acting as my hands while my arm is in a sling. (See previous post!!) Not unexpectedly, he had everyone in stitches!! The jokes ...never stopped rolling! - - #handmade #ministryofhandmade #madebyhand #lampshadeworkshop #bespokelampshade #lampshadeclass #customlampshades See more

16.01.2022 Another personal project done !!! This chair has a great story. It was gifted to me by @lilibetstanley after a big clean out. The chair had a highly glossy varnish finish that really needed to go but structurally it was great. My 90 year dad (a highly proficient and experienced timber craftsman) stripped it back to the original timber so that the wonderful Queensland Maple could be waxed. I covered the seat pad and back cushion and reinstated the seat support so that it lo...oked like new. And yesterday it was delivered to its new owner, my daughter-in-law Mary. I promised it to her for her 30th birthday back in April as a feeding chair for her new babe. Our grandson Hayes is now 8 days old and Mary has her chair! She requested the neutral coloured fabric with interesting texture that will look fabulous in their nursery. Mary and Dave just love old items with history and I just love it that there are four generations of our family linked via this chair.

15.01.2022 Sometimes life throws one or two curve balls (or a whole heap) and you have to go with the flow!! My two separate falls (one arm injured each time) have really stretched our resilience. So , if it feels like we have been missing in action, we have!! My potentially fractured wrist (waiting on the results of a CT scan) is a real inconvenience at a very trying time. As a family, we are preparing ourselves for the imminent passing of Maurice’s dear dad, Bernie, from cancer. And w...e keep putting one foot in front of the other, counting our blessings, connecting with close friends and family who understand us, focussing on what we can control, relishing the simple sweet things of life, growing our veges, planting flowers, sharing our passions. Accompanying all this is the realisation that some questions have no answers and in fact, more questions are sometimes the only answer. I am looking forward to the self I will become on the other side of this strange year we are calling 2020. As a footnote... things are still trucking along at Ministry of Handmade... we are blessed to have a great team!!!! - - #ministryofhandmade #newbeginnings #family #takeabreath See more
14.01.2022 He struck gold!! After a neglecting the vege patch for a while, @mr.ministryofhandmade was back in it again today! The motivation was a birthday gift of seedlings, sugar cane mulch and mushroom compost from the offspring! These sweet potatoes have been quietly growing in the soil for months now. These werent planted as seeds or seedlings but as little shoots from sweet potatoes that we trimmed off before cooking. They have thrived on neglect (bless them) and are now ready fo...r sharing and eating!!! And here is another piece of sweet potato trivia.... the new shoots on the vine that grows above the ground are great for sing to salads, stir fries and the like! - - #handmade #ministryofhandmmade #madebyhand #homegrown #vegegarden #sweetpotato #harvest #freefood #vegeharvest See more
14.01.2022 Secrets revealed!!!! Come get the lowdown on basic upholstery on Saturday!!! Have you ever wondered how a piece of furniture is made? What are the tools needed? What are the materials needed? How do you get it looking schmick? How do you add piping? How do you measure up for a pattern? All these questions and more will be answered in our footstool session! Well make a footstool together with each step and process explained in full! Everyone will get to sew piping, try using ...the air stapler, stretch webbing, make and attach covered buttons and lots of other techniques. Youll go home inspired to get working on your own unique projects. A set of notes is included and kits will be available if youd like to replicate the footstool we make in the session.

13.01.2022 This first pic is three years old ... this spotty top spot was made from offcuts of cotton drill. It was created on a whim when I started experimenting with simple tops so that I could more easily teach sewing. And that simple top had become the basis of ModularME, our unique pattern and sewing system. Yesterday I had the chance for the first time to publicly display a range of garments I have made over the last nine months using our very simple @modularme pattern. I was at @...backontherackbrisbane clothing market. Everyone was amazed at the range and variety of garments that can be made using our one simple pattern and our add-on modules. This project of ours is still in its infancy but we have big plans for it. Our goal to to teach people how to confidently sew their own clothes that actually fit... fit their body, fit their lifestyle and fit their personality! I loved the opportunity yesterday to chat with people about their sewing journey (whatever it has been like) and how, if they want to, they can stitch their own clothes. There is no need to be a slave to fashion, or to have to wear clothes that dont make you feel like you! The story of ModularME is on our website... perhaps youd like to come along for the ride! - - #handmade #ministryofhandmade #made thanks #sewing #sewingmachine #homesewnisthenewblack #sewinglesson #sewingworkshop #creativeworkshops #learnhow #makeyourown #sewyourown #slowfashion #yourstyle See more

This size (30cm x 15cm) is in stock now with two other sizes (20cm x 10cm and 40cm x 20cm) arriving this week. These new options will be available as kits or as an option in lampshad...e workshops.

12.01.2022 Cubby building resumed today! After a break of a couple of months (thanks COVID), we are back working on our granddaughters cubby. It was really looking like an abandoned building site but this afternoon we made good progress in just a few hours ..... two roof joists up and several wall sections clad. Our mock weather boards are recycled fence palings from my parents place. This play space will be a delight when it is done. We have plans for a slide exit, a little window th...at doubles as a shop front, access to a cargo net via a high side window, a mezzanine day bed, a letterbox and more!!! Fun, fun, fun!!!!

I finished this custom ottoman for Nicki first thing this morning. The fabric is one of my favourites, Jaipur Ruby by @warwickfabrics This piece is a great size (nearly 800mm in diameter) and can do double duty as a coffee table. Need something like this at your place... why not get in touch? @m...r.ministryofhandmade can whip you up a frame to suit your requirements! - - #handmade #ministryofhandmade #madebyhand #diyfurniture #customfurniture #upholstery #sewing #piping #linen #creativeworkshops See more
08.01.2022 Studio dogs! Last week when we were away, our Reggie, aka Sir Reginald (at right) had a sleepover with his pal, Rufus! Rufus is the studio dog of our son, James, and his partner, Aaron. @nordacious @aboynamedaaron They are both gorgeous dogs but put them together and they turn into what I call naughty boy cousins who like to dig up grandma’s garden! All while looking like butter wouldn’t melt in their mouths! Gotta love them!

08.01.2022 A collective name for a group of baby coat hangers? I have been busy knitting these over the last few months. Grand baby #2 is due on September 22! Our son and daughter-in-law, Dave and Mary, are expecting their first bub!!!! Someone had gifted me the timber coat hangers years ago and recently a friend gifted me lots of unused tapestry wool. I carefully selected the colours I used to coordinate with Dave and Marys preferred palette for the nursery. The gender of the bub is u...nknown but these will be equally at home for a baby girl or boy! Counting down the weeks now. And tomorrow we get to help paint the bubs new room! - - #handmade #ministryofhandmade #madebyhandmade #wastenotwantnot #knitting #wool #bub #slowdown See more

07.01.2022 ModularME gallery!! Check out what these two clever girls have made!!!!! Natalie turned up to a workshop today wearing a new dress!

I know, I know, everyone loves on-seam pockets and these are on the list for a module very soon!!!! And Susan has created a fabulous gingham top using the yoke module and the sleeve module added to the basic top@pattern. I love her ...variation of cutting the bodice on the bias!!

07.01.2022 Fresh off the work bench and ready for collection..... this shade has had a complete makeover! This tired and mouldy yellow plastic strip covering has been replaced with fabric. The brief was to maintain the same clean lines.... I used a faux silk fabric for the outside and it is lined with off-white linen. Its good now for another 50 years!!! - - #handmade #ministryofhandmade... #madebyhand #lampshademakeover #lampshaderenovation #interiorstyling #pleatedlampshade #lampshadeworkshop #creativeworkshops #customlampshades #bespokelampshades #recycling See more

06.01.2022 MAKE A SIMPLE HAT!! Learn the basics of millinery and call yourself a milliner .... doesn’t that sound a bit fancy?!?!? A milliner is a women’s hat maker.** We have a fun sewing workshop this Saturday with Lauren Weier. You’ll create your own fabric hat and at the same time learn the very basic skills required to more simple fabric hats!! Add some style to your wardrobe by creating hats that coordinate with your clothes! All the details are on our website and there is a link ...in our profile. And don’t worry if you don’t have time to grab any fabric or thread.... we have some great choices here!!!!! The pattern Lauren will be using is from Australian designer Elbe Textiles. ** Now the origins of word milliner: MILLINER Originates from Milan, Italy from the importation of women's finery from Italy in the 16th century. A person who designs, makes, trims or sells women's hats. How impressive! Just drop that one into a conversation sometime and have everyone guessing!!!! - - #handmade #ministryofhandmade #madebyhand #sewing #sewingworkshop #makeyourown #sewingskills #creativeworkshops #sewingmachine @berninachermside #homesewing #learnhow @elbe_textiles See more
06.01.2022 Playing with a little corner this morning. Im totally loving my new @gormanclothing purchase... a discounted cotton/linen tea towel that I popped into a Spotlight frame that I already had. I havent decided yet whether I should hang it vertically or not. What do you think? Lampshade by me, of course, using fabric from @clothfabric Mother-in-law tongue plant (dont you just hate that common name for Sanseviera?!?) was salvaged years ago from some bushland where it was growi...ng wild.

05.01.2022 Colour coordinated to the max!!! Say hello to my new splint, custom made to protect my wrist while the torn ligament heals!!! I got to choose the colour and, of course, it had to be BLUE!!!! This does slow me down, but it’s highly preferable to a plaster cast on what could easily have been a fractured wrist. The nifty Velcro strips make it removable for showering and very gentle swimming .......yay!!! And I can still use scissors, slowly and gently! As for the left arm,... it is healing well. - - #handmade #ministryofhandmade #madebyhand #blue #favouritecolour #custommade #bespoke See more

02.01.2022 Making matters! As a teacher of handmade skills, I ponder all the time on the true value of making. I could write a book on the value of handmade (and who knows maybe one day I will!) and you could ask hundreds of makers what making means to them and get just as many different answers. To me handmade skills are life skills that give us independence and agency and freedom and choices. But today I am pondering about the connection between hand making and love.... Just over 10 years ago our beautiful daughter Lauren married her beau, Josh. Collectively between the two families and some close friends we created an exceptional event with hand making at its core. We had so much fun planning it, and watching it come to life on the day was a dream come true! We purchased Lauren’s simple ballerina style dupion silk dress off the rack and it fitted her like a glove. (We had opted not to make the dress as there was so much other making to be done.) I then set about sewing a fitted lace jacket using vintage lace gifted by my aunt. The back opening was a long row of covered buttons and the neckline was encrusted with hundreds of hand stitched pearl beads of varying sizes. Every stitch that went into that jacket was an act of love. And that is the thing about making something for someone ... it is an act of love, an exchange ....stitch by stitch, minute by minute you are giving of yourself, trading a small part of your life to create something that will connect the maker and the recipient. Making can be a deep mystic process that stirs the heart, lifts the spirit and challenges your head and hands. The final touch on the jacket was a small tag that read JL 27/5/11. And stitched into Josh’s waistcoat was a matching tag that read LJ 27/5/11. Making does matter, it matters so much. That is why I get up each day with a spring in my step and look forward to sharing with others how using your hands creatively can change your life. PS... I also made the four dupion silk bridesmaids’ dresses in four different autumn tones as well as my outfit. We also handmade the tablecloths, 102 table napkins, light fittings, place cards, etc, etc. - - #handmade #ministryofhandmade

24.12.2021 Every single day, I get more and more excited about #modularme our modularised sewing system. We’ve revisited the base pattern and refined it a bit (sizing and fit hadn’t changed from the existing pattern). It’s all about improving the user experience. And we have now finished quite a few new modules and twists so that our pattern is super versatile and can be adapted in multiple ways. With over 50 years of sewing experience, I have so many ideas. It’s a matter of identifying... which skills we want to teach and in what order. Then documenting everything in a fun and easy to understand manner. @mr.ministryofhandmade has excellent computer skills which has been super handy and our combined marketing and graphic design experience is allowing us to create a program that is different and engaging!! I can’t wait to share everything with you all!! Meanwhile we’ll keep beavering away! If you are new to ModularME, you can read all about it on our website. You can even download our base pattern for FREE! - - #handmade #madebyhand #ministryofhandmade #sewingsystem #sewing #learntosew #onlinelearning #sewingclasses #sewingpattern #slowfashion #slowclothing See more
12.12.2021 Meet Ziggy! This is my new favourite ModularME dress! It’s such an easy sew and a really simple morph from the basic top pattern. I love how flexible and versatile our #modularme pattern is. From a simple top pattern I have created a so many other dresses and tops. With over 1000 downloads of our pattern globally, I know that lots of others are enjoying the pattern system too. Our work behind the scenes continues, developing more modules and twists ready for a launch shortly.... In the mean time, we’d like to offer you a teaser..an online class that steps through how to create this garment from the top pattern. I’ll explain my simple process and even give you an instruction sheet! This ZOOM class is live now on the website. I’m looking forward to chatting with you about Ziggy and a few other ModularME surprises! - - #handmade #ministryofhandmade #madebyhand #sewingpattern #sewingclass #learntosew #textiles #slowclothing #togetherwecreate #sewingworkshop #onlinelearning #sewingsystem #homesewn #fashionrevolution #sewover50 See more
03.12.2021 Our ModularME pattern is so versatile and can be the basis of so many garments.

16.11.2021 New colour ways in our Slow Stitched Cushion Kits! I’ve really enjoyed curating the fabrics for these new kits that we’ll be launching soon. They’re called Heirloom, Bloom and Hawaii. The fabrics included are a combo of luxury linens and cottons with a few vintage pieces thrown in. Which is your fave? I think mine is Heirloom, the first one, which features raw silk and vintage English gold velvet!!! Mind you, the Anna Spiro Oahu in the third one is pretty special too! The la...st three photos give an idea of what the kits looks like made up: 50cm x 30cm with a plain back (supplied with an invisible zipper already stitched in). These will be released via our newsletter in the next week or so. If you aren’t already a subscriber, you can sign up via our website. There are strictly limited numbers of each version. - - #handmade #madebyhand #ministryofhandmade #cushion #slow #slowstitching #stitching #recycle #reuse #tassels #sewingkit #designerfabric #textiles #interiorstyling #linen #softfurnishings #cushionkit

Congratulations to Bronwyn @thehandmadecloset on her fabulous new space @thechurnroom in the old #dayborobutterfactory Bronwyn and I have chatted over the years via social media, but it was great to meet her in person today. Check out this space next time you are out that way it exudes warmth, character, vintage charm and a sense of slow.

06.11.2021 ModularMINI! Swipe to see me wearing a @modularme top version! This is a dress I have just completed for my granddaughter. If you look closely you can see that it is a shrunk down version of some of the #modularme adult garments that I have been posting recently. The concept of taking a base garment and modifying it to change the styling works for kids’ clothing as well as for grown-ups! This has sneaky inseam pockets which Aubrey will love ! I used a lightweight striped ...cotton for the pockets as well as the facings. This fabric is a cotton sateen called Italian Resort and it is from our online store. This dress was made from offcuts. And if you are wondering.. yes, there will be a ModularMINI range in due course. - - #handmade #ministryofhandmade #madebyhand #sewingpattern #recycled #sewing #learntosew #homesewn #learnhow #clothing #slowclothing #slowfashion #fashionrevolution See more
24.10.2021 Fluted lampshades!!!! We’ve been asked several times over the last six months if we can make these. Today we did some serious prototyping with proportions, materials and techniques. This is the end result and we are very pleased with it! We fiddled around for hours trying different ratios and a couple of joining techniques, reworking the dimensions as we went. This sample has a top ring of 13cm and a bottom ring of 23cm. Of course, the scale can be changed to create any size ...you like. This technique is best suited to lightweight fabrics or paper.think of the range of options!!!! This is leftover wallpaper bonded to our self adhesive PVC. We’re thinking these would make a very manageable lampshade kit complete with video instructions. What do you think? And, of course, we are happy to custom make them too. Let us know what you think !!! - - #handmade #madebyhand #ministryofhandmade #learnhow #everythinglampshades #lampshadekit #lampshadesupplies #letyourlightshine #togetherwecreate #lighting #interiorstyling #interiordesign #lamp #lampshade #lampshademaker #customlampshades #bespokelampshades
09.10.2021 New #modularme dress!! Made by raiding my offcuts and scraps. The @marimekkoaustralia offcut was perfect for the yoke front and that became my starting point. So it was going to be a black and white dress!! This design (which is very different to what I normally wear, I must say!) was made by shortening our ModularME top pattern to create a mid-line yoke and then adding two tiers of gathered fabric. The tiers were made by stitching strips of fabric together. The fabric is al...l cotton and includes offcuts from sewing projects, recycled garments, gifted fabric and some gingham from our online store. Obviously the detailing could easily be varied: different height strips, more or less gathering, etc. This is just another example of the wide variety of simple garments that be made using our pattern. We have been putting in lots of hours to get new modules and twists ready so that you can start customising your own garments. Stay tuned for all the news. We’ll be announcing everything in our newsletter so why not sign up on our website. - - #handmade #madebyhand #ministryofhandmade #sewing #sewingpattern #learntosew #learnhoe #sewover50 #sewinglesson #slowclothing #slowfashion #fashionrevolution #reuse #recycle #onlinelearning #togetherwecreate
25.09.2021 This is what I stitched today the long awaited roll collar top! It’s another version of #modularme . The fabric is a timeless linen gingham (have always been a bit partial to linen!) and feels so light to wear. I’ve teamed it with jeans and sneakers but this top will look equally at home with white pants and sandals. The neckline and collar are one of our new soon-to-be released modules. And the back features a centre back pleat which is great for extra detailing and/or for ...adding a bit more room around the hips if necessary. This pleat is one of our super easy ModularME Twists.all will be revealed soon! I love the versatility of this pattern and our sewing system. Get the fit right and then add modules and twists to make the styling your own. I’m so looking forward to sharing my sewing hints and tips and my catalogue of dressmaking detailing that I have collected over five decades of sewing. I woke up at 3.40am this morning and lay there for ages designing ModularME garments in my head! Does anyone else do that?!? Stay tuned for launch details coming soon best bet, sign up for our email newsletter if you haven’t already done so just head to our website. - - #handmade #madebyhand #ministryofhandmade #sewing #slowclothing #slowfashion #togetherwecreate #sewingpattern #sewingmachine #learntosew #sewingpattern #homesewn #fashionrevolution

And how do you rate my coordinating earrings?
