Dear Everyone,
Don't you just love the British Summer? With two or three seasons in almost every day so far this June you don't know whether to take a cardi, a coat, a brolly, or all three. It may not be great for the sun tan but it does provide plenty of opportunity for guilt-free sewing. Every cloud (and there are plenty around at the moment) has a silver lining...
So get stuck in with some more great new fabrics in the shop this week and chase away those weather induced Summertime Blues!
Happy sewing!
